As noted earlier, Mozilla’s characterization of AI-assisted vulnerability discovery as a game changer has been met with massive, vocal skepticism in many quarters. Critics initially scoffed when Mozilla didn’t obtain CVE designations for any of the 271 vulnerabilities. Like many developers, however, Mozilla doesn’t obtain CVE listings for internally discovered security bugs. Instead, they are bundled into a single patch. Normally, Bugzilla reports detailing these “rollups” are hidden for several months after being fixed to protect those who are slow to patch. Now that Mozilla has revealed a dozen of them, the same critics will surely claim they too were…

Chaos erupted at schools and colleges throughout the US on Thursday as a cyberattack disrupted online learning platform Canvas just as students were due to take final exams. Canvas parent company Instructure said that as of Friday morning, the platform was back online. Instructure said it temporarily took Canvas offline on Thursday after identifying unauthorized activity in its network. The threat actor was the same one responsible for a data breach that Instructure disclosed a week ago. Data accessed included user names, email addresses, student ID numbers, and messages exchanged on the platform. The company said it has no indication…

Premium wireless headphones occupy a rarified space, far outside the reach of most audio products, and indeed, most people’s budgets. Despite the encroachment of true wireless earbuds, these behemoths have remained a constant presence in the market and are the preferred option, especially among travelers, due to their superior noise cancellation and extended battery life. Sony has ruled this segment for years with its WH-1000X series of headphones. About a decade or so ago, the company did the unthinkable and dethroned Bose as the market leader in the segment. Later, Apple came along with the AirPods Max and set its…

Fictional portrayals of artificial intelligence can have a real effect on AI models, according to Anthropic. Last year, the company said that during pre-release tests involving a fictional company, Claude Opus 4 would often try to blackmail engineers to avoid being replaced by another system. Anthropic later published research suggesting that models from other companies had similar issues with “agentic misalignment.” Apparently Anthropic has done more work around that behavior, claiming in a post on X, “We believe the original source of the behavior was internet text that portrays AI as evil and interested in self-preservation.” The company went into…

How will work setups change if we spend more and more time talking to our computers? A recent feature in the Wall Street Journal looks at the rising popularity of dictation apps like Wispr, especially now that they can be connected to vibe coding tools, and what that might mean for office etiquette. One VC said that visiting startup offices now feels like stepping into a high-end call center. And Gusto co-founder Edward Kim is apparently telling his team that in the future, offices will sound “more like a sales floor.” (As someone still scarred from the time his desk…

We didn’t see too many new announcements over the past week, which probably explains why our trending chart has a very similar look to last week. Once again we have the Samsung Galaxy A57 leading the pack, followed by the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Honor 600 Pro. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G The biggest gainer is the Galaxy A17, now up to fourth, followed by the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, which retained its fifth position.

Anthropic and xAI announced a big partnership this week, with Anthropic buying all the compute capacity at xAI’s Colossus 1 data center in Tennessee. On the latest episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Sean O’Kane, and I discussed what the deal might mean for xAI’s parent company SpaceX, as SpaceX prepares to go public and apparently plans to dissolve xAI as a separate organization. Kirsten did her best to offer “a positive view” on the partnership — after all, it’s a new way for xAI to make money. But she also noted that this also suggests xAI isn’t doing…
