The week AI agents were found acting on real websites, from Wikipedia to a police tip line, and Microsoft’s chief executive asked for an emergency brake.

Claude picked the items worth an entry by their title and description. The most important were read in full, with captions for videos; the rest are written from the publisher’s own description, and marked as such. Agents wrote the summaries and the four “why it matters” lines. Code then checked every quotation against the text we saved: the words must be there, in order, without a dropped “not”. That proves the words are in the source. It does not prove the person meant them as quoted, and automatic captions carry no speaker names, so a quotation whose speaker we could only tell from context says so.

What we keep. The full text of every source we read is kept privately, so later research can go back to exactly what was said. Here we publish only short quotations and our own words.

What this run misses. English sources only. Some feeds only reach back a few days (big news channels, the Guardian, LessWrong), and the research feed stops at 300 papers, so this week’s list is not complete. X is not read yet. Paywalled articles were read through other coverage or left as descriptions.
