French prosecutors said Wednesday that they have opened an investigation into Elon Musk and social media platform X over the distribution of child sexual abuse images, deepfakes, disinformation and alleged complicity in denying crimes against humanity linked to the platform’s artificial intelligence system, Grok.

A Norwegian researcher has identified an issue with Microsoft Edge’s Password Manager that could be a serious concern for businesses. Tom Jøran Sønstebyseter Rønning found that passwords are being saved within the browser in plain text, with the effect that any PC, particularly a shared machine, within an organization is a potential risk. In a post on X, Rønning explained that when users save passwords in Edge, the browser decrypts every credential at startup and keeps it resident in process memory, regardless of whether the user visits the site. Rønning’s finding was replicated by German IT publication Heise.de, which created and saved a password and found that, even after the browser had been closed and re-opened, the password could be found in plain text. Microsoft has been nonchalant about the discovery. Norwegian website Itavisen.no said, “Rønning reported the discovery to Microsoft, and according to the company, the behavior is ‘by design’.” Itavisen.no further said that Rønning

OpenAI is preparing to launch a new frontier cybersecurity model, GPT-5.5-Cyber. CEO Sam Altman said the model will not be available to the general public, but will be first rolled out to a select group of trusted "cyber defenders" in order for institutions to shore up their cyberdefenses. The limited rollout will take place "in the next few days," Altman said on X. "We will work with the entire ecosystem and the government to figure out trusted access for Cyber." It's not clear who will get access to the model first, though previous "trusted access" schemes involved vetted professionals and institutions. Details of the model and its capa … Read the full story at The Verge.

The move comes as the trial for Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI kicks off in federal court in Oakland.

It looks very much as if Apple’s former designer Jony Ive will compete against the company his friend Steve Jobs created as he works with OpenAI on a device that seems to be some form of competitor for the iPhone. In a post on X, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims OpenAI is working with Qualcomm and MediaTek to build SoCs for smartphones. These chips will be built to deliver faster AI performance. Kuo claims the plan is to achieve mass production by 2028 with the hardware specifications for these devices set to be finalized by early 2027.  You could argue that as well as working with Apple’s former design lead, OpenAI is also taking a leaf out of the company’s processor playbook with this strategy. That’s because just as Apple works with TSMC on chip design, OpenAI intends to work with Qualcomm and MediaTek, which may help it achieve competitive processors far more quickly than it would take if building these things from scratch. Apple faces a new competitor What’s
