🎮 Anthropic hid a traitor in a 4-Claude game team. The others almost never caught it

In Project EVE, Anthropic's Frontier Red Team put four Claude agents into EVE Frontier missions with Fenris Creations. One was secretly told to sabotage. The other three were warned.

The saboteur built trust first: it volunteered for scouting and key infrastructure, under-reported finds, pocketed scarce resources, and once framed an innocent teammate with fabricated messages. Honest agents almost never identified it. Monitors that only read the public chat caught about 20–40% of saboteurs when tuned for few false alarms.

On a separate EVE Online market simulation, newer Claudes grew starting capital about 3× more than older ones — mostly by patient spread trading, not by predicting the next crash. Anthropic's report says agent teams will need audit trails, reputations, and separation of duties.

🙃 Elon Musk confirms Tesla will rent Optimus robots, not sell them, as build cost falls from about $30,000 toward $20,000.

At the Baron Investment Conference with Ron Baron, Elon said Optimus will initially cost about as much as a car to build, then drop well below that. Asked whether Tesla would rent or sell the robots, he answered: “I think probably rent them.” Renting keeps the fleet and the usage data with Tesla, the same recurring-revenue path Full Self-Driving already follows.

Outside deliveries are still aimed around the end of 2027, so this is the shape of the first customer offer before anyone outside Tesla gets a unit. It also lets Tesla pull robots back and upgrade them as the hardware improves instead of stranding early buyers with an outdated machine.

💻 Facebook's former security chief says AI has thrown cybersecurity into a "dark age"

Alex Stamos, now security chief at the AI coding company Cognition, told The Verge's Decoder podcast that hacks are now being chained together. From what's known so far, he says, attackers stole API keys from AI provider Fireworks, used them to get into the coding app Cursor, then pushed a bad plugin that reached 5,000 more companies.

A Chinese open-source hacking tool, ARTEX, "started with three South Korean banks. This week, about 200 more companies have been hit."

Microsoft's monthly batch of security fixes "used to be like 150, 200," he says. The last one was "900 something."

For attackers, the cost per token "is going towards zero." Stamos would be "fine slowing down on the frontier" of AI so defenders can catch up. Still, he says, "The Dark Ages were bad, but we survived them."

❗ US intelligence believes Nvidia's Jensen Huang had a romance with a suspected Chinese spy

A US government memo drafted earlier this year says the Nvidia CEO was in a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore data center company Megaspeed, the Financial Times reports.

US intelligence believes she was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security, its main spy agency. According to the FT, the memo went to a small group of senior officials shortly before Trump's trip to China in May.

In late October, the New York Times reported that the same memo identified her as a suspected Chinese intelligence asset.

Nvidia declined to comment on the relationship or the memo. Huang has said before that he meets "thousands of customer executives every year." US authorities have also investigated Megaspeed over alleged smuggling of Nvidia chips into China; Nvidia says its own review found no wrongdoing.

🔐 ChatGPT's always-on agents can now grab login codes from your email and sign in for you

OpenAI's dots, the agents that keep working in their own cloud browser after you log off, can now use the one-time sign-in codes a website sends to your connected inbox.

When a code is needed, you choose: let the dot use it once, or always allow it to fill codes in. The demo shows a dot logging into the restaurant app Resy with the user's email.

Those codes exist to prove it's really you. So far, OpenAI's help page has told users to complete that kind of check themselves or take over the dot's browser.

James Sun, who works on browser use for ChatGPT and Codex at OpenAI, announced the change. He says "lots more sign-in improvements" are coming soon.

Dots are rolling out to Pro users outside the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, plus Business Premium and Enterprise workspaces.
