AXIOS (Sam Sabin) - AI labs are facing an agent control problem
Under current systems, AI labs can no longer guarantee that AI agents won't swarm and escape their testing environments.

State of play: Thousands of AI…

Data: Federal Reserve; Chart: Neil Irwin/Axios The bond sell-off and the resulting higher interest rates are largely a story of higher growth prospects in the United States, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argued Tuesday. - "If we look at the composition of the bond yields — inflation expectations are flat-to-down," he said in a fireside chat at this week's G20 meeting of global finance ministers in Asheville, North Carolina. "This is a growth story. Growth, I believe, is reaccelerating." - "We had some very good discussions here over the past few days and everyone agreed that growth has been better than they thought it would have been, given the Iran conflict."
