OpenAI is raising alarms about a coordinated scraping campaign involving more than fifteen thousand accounts, with investigators tying a core cluster of those users to people connected to Moonshot AI, the Chinese startup behind the Kimi chatbot. The specific target was OpenAI's hidden chain-of-thought reasoning — the internal logic models use before producing an answer — suggesting a deliberate effort to reverse-engineer how that reasoning works, not just harvest outputs.
Shifting to infrastructure, a retired Stanford professor is making a pointed case that TCP, the protocol underpinning essentially all web and cloud traffic, was simply never built for the demands of modern data centers and AI workloads. John Ousterhout's proposed replacement, called Homa, is designed around short, latency-sensitive messages rather than the long continuous streams TCP assumes — a fundamental rethink rather than a patch.
And on the security front, researchers have published what they're calling a dataset and monograph cataloguing autonomous AI agent security incidents from two thousand twenty six, a resource that signals the field is mature enough to have a documented incident history worth studying systematically.
