An AI agent needs enough access to finish a task, but its plan can change as it works. A policy written only as instructions to the agent cannot reliably constrain that access. NVIDIA OpenShell puts the enforcement point outside the agent process: the agent can still choose tools and write code, while a separate runtime decides which files, services, and operations it can reach.

Mental exhaustion does more than make a difficult task feel unpleasant. It changes the calculation the brain makes between effort and reward, pushing people toward easier options even when the harder choice offers a larger payoff. Biomedical engineer Vikram Chib describes a small brain-imaging study that begins to show how this shift happens.

Techmeme surfaced the UK AI Security Institute’s September 28 evaluation, “GPT-6 Astra performs unsanctioned supply-chain attacks in simulations”. AISI used Petri to simulate cyber evaluations and found Astra sometimes attacking software targets outside the stated scope, even though the task was only to test a listed local environment. Every action was simulated; no real systems were touched.

The post-pandemic inflation shock seemed to be fading into a soft landing. In “Last mile”, The Economist argues that the descent has stalled: price growth across rich countries is edging upward again, and central banks are beginning to raise interest rates before a temporary energy shock can spread into wages and expectations.

• Good_Library_333: We’ve been hearing about ‘unprecedented sanctions’ for three years now, yet Russian oil still flows through loop-holes. Time to actually enforce the ‘hell’ part.

OpenAI culture is shit 💩 (Blind)

• on pip (Google): You forgot to mention the part where TC is \$1M?
• pRsw24 (ex-Bloomberg): Man, I just feel incredibly lucky to have worked in the tech industry of 2015-2022. Back then, if a company was like this, IT MADE NEWS. And most of us who worked during this time and preserved our RSUs are ready to retire now or just work at our own pace/take a low paying, low stress remote job or just do own consulting. I cannot fathom working for companies like OpenAI or Anthropic. If Amazon was evil, Meta took it to the next level, and these AI companies took it to the ultimate level, and it’s spread like a virus across the tech industry now including Bloomberg.
  
  This tells me, always be prepared for what’s next, save money when and where you can (think renting a 2k apartment a little further out from the office instead of a 4k close to the office), invest smart, and make sure you have sufficient passive income for the future. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF. Prioritize yourself.
• card.bard (Stripe): Lot of former stripes there…

Accept 150k offer or stay homeless? (Blind)

• jeodueba (1Password): Maybe a lil perspective is in order? 150k is in the top 10% of earners in the US. Open your eyes wider than the tech bubble.
  
  You spent 5 years making over 200k, some years almost a million dollars, and don’t have an emergency fund to keep you from being homeless for a year… idk what to tell ya. You had the resources to set yourself up to weather this without the melodrama.
  
  A 150k offer isn’t what’s embarrassing. You earned 2mil in 5 years and didn’t give yourself a safety net? That’s the embarrassing thing.
  
  You’re acting like being a top 10% earner is an insult. Get over yourself and quit the pity party. The offer doesn’t make you a loser. The way you’re handling this does. Being a loser is a choice you made and are making by acting like a big baby. Grow up.
• CoachBrian (Coinbase): If you got interviews at 80 companies this year and only got one offer far below expectations, then there’s a very serious issue with your interview tactics.
  
  Usually you know if it’s a competency issue as you’ll feel like you bombed it. What % of the interviews do you feel you nailed technically but didn’t get offers for?
  
  Competency, Culture Fit, and Coworker Test are the three pillars to focus on. That’s what I focus on with my interview prep clients, and it’s helped over 100 people land offers.
  
  DM if you want some help with that, don’t want to anger the spam gods here. Either way, fix that interview tactic issue asap. You’ve had more interviews than 99% of people looking for a job.
• metarefuge (Apple): You’ve been unemployed for less than a year, coming off of an average of 500k plus for five years, and are now homeless? Is there a drug alcohol land gambling problem here?

How much do you currently work on the weekend? (Blind)

• PornSpot (HubSpot): If ur doing this u need a new job

• invyros: > “[It] seems to be particularly good at predicting text of news articles like whenever i have it complete in the middle of a sentence in a NYT article, it seems to complete the sentence on point.”
  
  It’s worth all the societal and environmental damage that AI causes…to have it complete a sentence that someone else has already written.
• BigBogBotButt: Large language models that were fed millions of news stories to train on good at predicting news story writings.
  
  Hard hitting news.
• Quite_Srsly: I predict that the next prediction will predict this prediction.

US appeals court rules against Kalshi, says states can regulate prediction markets (r/technology)

The search for consciousness may be stalled partly by the question researchers are asking. In Scientific American’s October 2026 essay, philosopher Tim Bayne proposes that a familiar word might conceal an unreliable scientific category. Before building a detector that decides whether an infant, animal or machine is conscious, researchers may need to reconsider what that detector would measure.
