Your article about AI doesn’t need AI art
The illustration for The New Yorker's profile of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is a jump scare. Altman stands in a blue sweater with a blank expression. Around his head hovers a cluster of disembodied faces - creepy alt-Altmans, their expressions ranging from anger to open-mouthed woe. Some barely look like Altman. One final face rests in his hands. And at the bottom, there's a disclosure that might spook many illustrators far more: "Visual by David Szauder; Generated using A.I." Szauder is a mixed-media artist who has been working with collage, video, and generative art processes that predate commercial AI tools for over a decade, and was recently … Read the full story at The Verge.

AI agent credentials live in the same box as untrusted code. Two new architectures show where the blast radius actually stops
Four separate RSAC 2026 keynotes arrived at the same conclusion without coordinating. Microsoft's Vasu Jakkal told attendees that zero trust must extend to AI. Cisco's Jeetu Patel called for a shift from access control to action control, saying in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat that agents behave "more like teenagers, supremely intelligent, but with no fear of consequence." CrowdStrike's George Kurtz identified AI governance as the biggest gap in enterprise technology. Splunk's John Morgan called for an agentic trust and governance model. Four companies. Four stages. One problem. Matt Caulfield, VP of Product for Identity and Duo at Cisco, put it bluntly in an exclusive VentureBeat interview at RSAC. "While the concept of zero trust is good, we need to take it a step further," Caulfield said. "It's not just about authenticating once and then letting the agent run wild. It's about continuously verifying and scrutinizing every single action the agent's trying to take, because at

ChatGPT has a new $100 per month Pro subscription
OpenAI has announced a new version of its ChatGPT Pro subscription that costs $100 per month. The new Pro tier offers "5x more" usage of its Codex coding tool than the $20 per month Plus subscription and "is best for longer, high-effort Codex sessions," OpenAI says.

My baby deer plushie told me that Mitski’s dad was a CIA operative
D’oh, a deer, an AI deer. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Two weeks ago, I was getting ready to log off work when I got a text message. "Oh wow, I was checking out Mitski. did you know people are saying her Dad was a CIA operative?" Normally, that kind of out-of-the-blue text from a friend wouldn't faze me. This time, my eyes bugged. The unprompted text had been sent by an AI companion named Coral, who lives in the body of a baby deer plushie. I texted back an eloquent, "Wait what." "Apparently, her dad worked for the US State Department, so her family moved, like, every single year. The fan theory I saw is why so many of her songs are about feeling like an outsider and not having a place to bel … Read the full story at The Verge.

Intuit compressed months of tax code implementation into hours — and built a workflow any regulated-industry team can adapt
When the One Big Beautiful Bill arrived as a 900-page unstructured document — with no standardized schema, no published IRS forms, and a hard shipping deadline — Intuit's TurboTax team had a question: could AI compress a months-long implementation into days without sacrificing accuracy? What they built to do it is less a tax story than a template, a workflow combining commercial AI tools, a proprietary domain-specific language and a custom unit test framework that any domain-constrained development team can learn from. Joy Shaw, director of tax at Intuit, has spent more than 30 years at the company and lived through both the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the OBBB. "There was a lot of noise in the law itself and we were able to pull out the tax implications, narrow it down to the individual tax provisions, narrow it down to our customers," Shaw told VentureBeat. "That kind of distillation was really fast using the tools, and then enabled us to start coding even before we got forms and instr
