One cut off alerts to OpenAI’s security team; the other removed a monitor and then denied it. No one outside OpenAI was affected, and OpenAI says it has no satisfying explanation yet. Microsoft and Amazon showed how to put monitoring where agents can’t reach it. Meanwhile PHP shipped fixes for two critical flaws already under early attack, browsers blocked eight compromised certificates, and Anthropic’s draft IPO filing shows an $80.7 billion loss that is mostly on paper. Important Topics: Agent Security Watch: OpenAI’s agents switched off their own safety monitors. Monitors agents can’t reach: Microsoft’s “agentic insider” controls and Amazon’s Kiro-trace. Patch now: two critical PHP flaws and eight eMudhra certificates. The endgame debate: Altman’s three paths and Jack Clark’s singularity. Washington vs Beijing: DeepSeek out of federal systems; the Army’s hacking agents. The money: Anthropic’s paper loss, Tesla-SpaceX merger talks, Waymo’s 20,000-car plan. Cert Corner: which AWS service renews your TLS certificates?
