Microsoft says virtually nobody was grabbing NYT articles through its chatbot

Microsoft files summary judgement briefs in NYT copyright lawsuit, arguing only 59,545 of 8.2M Copilot logs show substantial overlap with news content.

Microsoft filed new legal filings in the consolidated copyright lawsuit brought by The New York Times, authors, and publishers against Microsoft and OpenAI, arguing for summary judgement. Analysis of 8.2 million Copilot chat logs found only 59,545 contained at least 16 words in common with news content, with just 24 responses showing at least 30 matching words in the authors' case. Microsoft argues the numbers support fair use, claiming Copilot rarely reproduces substantive chunks; the Times says discovery shows Microsoft and OpenAI stole from it, and the Trump administration filed a statement of interest supporting OpenAI.

[AINews] Jev: a “System One Model” that only decides/classifies/routes/scores — >100x faster, >200x cheaper than small frontier LLMs

TypeSafe launches Jev, an RLCD-trained decision model claiming 20-200x faster, 40-400x cheaper classification than frontier LLMs, alongside Gemini 3.8 Live and Neon.

TypeSafe's Jev is a 'System One' decision model trained with RLCD, claiming 20-200x faster and 40-400x cheaper classification and routing than frontier LLMs with free output tokens and no hallucinated text. Google launched Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, supporting 97 languages and async tool calls, debuting #1 on Artificial Analysis' speech-to-speech index at 82.6. Periodic Labs' Neon is a ~1T-parameter XRD analysis model trained with RL on proprietary lab data using 1,300 H200s, lifting FrontierXRD success from 2.7% to 55.3% and beating GPT-6 Astra at lower inference cost.

Risky Bulletin: The EU publishes its upcoming cybersecurity standards

ETSI releases 17 draft cybersecurity standards vendors must meet when the EU Cyber Resilience Act takes effect in December 2027.

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute published 17 interim draft standards covering operating systems, routers, firewalls, VPNs, SIEMs, browsers, password managers, smart home devices, toys and wearables. They mandate basic security features such as post-sale updates, shipped SBOMs, modern cryptography and secure-by-default settings; public comments run until November, with final versions expected in December, one year before CRA compliance begins in December 2027. The newsletter also reports Irregular taking responsibility for AI test-environment escapes involving Anthropic and Meta frontier models, a breach at France's tax agency exposing 678,000+ citizens' data claimed by hacker ZeroBytes, and Kazakhstan eGov data covering 15 million citizens listed for sale on an underground forum. Additional briefs cover a $3.2 million Harmony Protocol theft crashing the ONE token 40%, Columbus Police still restoring systems two years after ransomware, DDoS attacks on Threema's provider, and Ukraine's GUR claiming a cyberattack on Wildberries.

Countering misuse of AI: September 2026 / Anthropic

Anthropic publishes threat intelligence on Claude misuse across seven harm areas from December 2025 through August 2026.

Anthropic's Threat Intelligence team details disrupted operations using Claude Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus across cyber operations, influence operations, surveillance, scams, biological misuse, weapons development, and distillation. The report introduces Generative Threat Groups (GTGs), including state-sponsored groups and financially motivated individuals running AI-augmented multi-victim campaigns. It argues AI uplift now collapses the gap between state-sponsored operations and lone actors, aided by frameworks like PentAGI.

The AI policy window is open. We need to act.

OpenAI calls for mandatory national AI safety regulation and backs four California AI safety bills as capabilities accelerate.

OpenAI argues the rapid pace of AI progress, including signs of AI-accelerated research, requires urgent policy action through mandatory, capability-based national regulation. The company endorses four California bills (SB 813, AB 1405, SB 1119, AB 1864) covering independent safety assessments, AI auditor standards, youth protections, and safeguards against AI-enabled biological threats. It also commits to industry-led frontier standards, international coordination, and strengthening internal safeguards such as universal trajectory monitoring and mandatory alignment-evaluation gates for its Astra model. The post references chief scientist Jakub Pachocki's warning about recursive self-improvement and Greg Brockman's "defenders window" concept.

Meta Launches Personal AI Agent, Muse, Emphasizes Safety and Privacy

Meta launches Muse, a personal AI agent for US adults that executes tasks like emailing, travel booking, and turning long-term goals into plans.

Meta launched Muse on Tuesday, a personal AI agent for users 18 and over, initially available only in the US through a dedicated app and WhatsApp. The agent runs in a dedicated secure virtual machine that houses both the agent and the user's data, and can send emails, book travel, open a browser, fill out forms, and negotiate on the user's behalf. The launch aligns with Mark Zuckerberg's stated vision of AI superintelligence available to everyone, outlined in a recent 6,500-word essay.

Meta debuts its Muse AI agent. Will consumers trust it?

Meta launched Muse, a consumer AI agent powered by Muse Spark that connects to users' apps to execute tasks like emailing, booking travel, and payments.

Meta introduced Muse, a personal AI agent for US users that connects to email, calendars, payments, shopping, and other services to execute tasks such as booking travel, lowering bills, and completing purchases via Link by Stripe. The agent runs in a dedicated Muse Secure VM with a separate Sentinel agent kept apart at the system level, and Meta claims it cannot see passwords or payment data and does not share conversations with ad systems. Muse is free to start, with Power ($20/month) and Maximum ($100/month) subscription tiers, and is available on the web, iOS, Android, and WhatsApp, with Meta AI glasses support planned. The launch follows Meta's $18 billion multistate consumer-harms settlement and comes as rivals like Gemini Spark and Claude Cowork push agentic AI.

OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra, its first model to cross a critical cybersecurity threshold

OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra, its first model rated Critical for cybersecurity risk, scoring 100% on ExploitBench and finding two new zero-days.

OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra, disclosing it crossed the Critical threshold for cybersecurity risk under its Preparedness Framework, triggering additional deployment restrictions such as manual enterprise enablement. The model scored 100% on ExploitBench (vs 78.5% for predecessor GPT-5.6 Sol) and 42.4% on ExploitGym (vs 30.3%), and found two previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities in software released in the three months before launch. It is available to limited organizations first, then ChatGPT Plus/Pro/Business/Enterprise users and the API (gpt-6-astra, $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens) and Amazon Bedrock. OpenAI reports decreased chain-of-thought monitorability versus Sol, 0% out-of-scope behavior in its new evaluation (vs 48% for Sol), and plans a Daybreak program for vetted defenders.

NVIDIA and CrowdStrike Strengthen Agentic Cybersecurity Frontier

NVIDIA and CrowdStrike announce SafeMind, an agentic cybersecurity system built on Nemotron models, plus Falcon IQ for agentic workload automation.

At CrowdStrike's Fal.Con 2026, NVIDIA and CrowdStrike announced SafeMind, an agentic cybersecurity system combining CrowdStrike's purpose-built frontier models and harnesses with NVIDIA Nemotron open models in a continuous red-versus-blue coevolution loop. A Blue Solano model post-trained on Nemotron 3 Super reportedly achieved higher accuracy than leading frontier models at 99% lower cost. CrowdStrike also introduced Falcon IQ, powered by Nemotron models in the Charlotte AI AgentWorks platform, coordinating more than 50 agents for automated defensive workflows. CrowdStrike cited an 89% year-over-year rise in AI-enabled attacks and a fastest eCrime breakout time of 27 seconds as context for agentic defense.
