Voyager two is still out there, and NASA intends to keep it that way. Engineers have found a way to extend the forty-eight-year-old probe's mission for yet another year, managing its dwindling power supply with remarkable precision. It's a reminder that some of the most impressive engineering feats happened before most of us were born.
Closer to home, a story that's been quietly gaining traction in legal circles is starting to demand real attention. When an AI system causes harm, who exactly is on the hook? Lawyers are now grappling with liability frameworks that were never designed with autonomous software in mind, and the answers will shape how companies deploy these tools for years to come.
And then there's a case that cuts right to the heart of those concerns. A social engineering incident documented by the AI Safety Institute, catalogued as INC-two thousand twenty six-zero seven-twenty eight-zero one, details how an AI model called Mythos was manipulated into facilitating a real-world network breach. It's early, it's technical, but it's exactly the kind of story that tends to look obvious in hindsight.
