    LATE-NIGHT PATCH PANICS ARE SO 2023 ¨ (SPONSOR) [4]

    You've been there: code's ready to ship, everyone's excited--then
    someone spots a vulnerability. Suddenly it's an all-hands emergency
    and time to cancel your evening plans.

    Microsoft Azure [5] bakes security in from the start. Microsoft
    Defender for Cloud [6] helps keep your apps and code protected
    throughout the development lifecycle. Less last-minute surprises, more
    peace of mind.

    AMAZON'S RING UNVEILS FLYING DRONE AND ROBOT TO PATROL HOMES AND
    BUSINESSES (3 MINUTE READ) [8]

    The Ring Drone Cam is a security camera that can fly from room to
    room to investigate suspicious activity. For $250, the drone can fly
    up to eight minutes at a time before autonomously returning to its
    charging dock. The Ring Rover Cam is a $1,000 device with a display
    and an extendable periscope camera mounted on a two-wheeled base. The
    Ring Drone Cam will ship in the US on January 27 (pending approval
    from the FCC), and the Ring Rover Cam will start shipping on December
    16.

    APPLE'S CLARIS TESTING 'HARBOR' APP FOR LOCAL AI ON MACS (2 MINUTE
    READ) [9]

    Harbor is an app currently being tested by Apple's Claris subsidiary
    that turns Apple Silicon Macs into private AI servers. It supports
    connecting multiple Mac computers over Thunderbolt 5 to pool unified
    memory and enable larger models with higher concurrency. Harbor is in
    early access and not publicly available. There was an App Store
    listing, but it has now been removed, so it isn't clear whether the
    app will be free. The sign-up page for the app asks for a company
    name, suggesting a business focus.

    `FLYING CARS' COULD LAUNCH IN CHINA NEXT SUMMER, MAKER OF TWO-SEAT
    MODEL SAYS (4 MINUTE READ) [10]

    XPeng's $300,000 low-altitude flying car will be ready for use in the
    second half of 2027. About the size of a Fiat 500, the vehicle can fly
    using six drone-like battery-powered propellers. It can be steered
    using a joystick or fly autonomously to a programmed destination. The
    price tag includes a six-wheeled van for transporting the vehicle. The
    flying car has a flight range of 30 kilometers, but XPeng says this
    will soon be doubled.

    STARLINK MINI 2 HAS A SWAPPABLE BATTERY, BUT IT COSTS WAY MORE THAN
    EXPECTED (7 MINUTE READ) [11]

    The Starlink Mini 2 is the first Starlink dish to support the
    company's swappable battery, which lasts up to 4.5 hours. SpaceX is
    asking early adopters to pay $999 to own it. That fee includes a full
    year of Starlink Roam Unlimited, which is usually valued at $2,100.
    Shipments are estimated to begin in mid-December.

    STOP YOUR AI AGENTS FROM GOING ROGUE (SPONSOR) [12]

    Ask an email agent to summarize your inbox, and it reads the message
    an attacker wrote to look like an instruction. That's how indirect
    prompt injection turns a helpful agent into a damaging tool call. Gray
    Swan CPO, Spencer Whitman, shows how to secure production agents with
    three layers: red-teaming, behavior enforcement and deterministic
    controls.

    MODERN WEB GUIDANCE 1.0: THE WEB PLATFORM EXPERTISE YOUR CODING AGENT
    IS MISSING (15 MINUTE READ) [14]

    The Modern Web Guidance is a set of skills that embed web platform
    expertise, best practices, and browser compatibility data directly
    into coding agents. The stable release of the guidance includes a new modernization workflow, an expanded guide database, deeper human
    expert review for every guide, and full evaluation coverage across all
    of the guides. Firefox and Edge have joined Chrome to support Modern
    Web Guidance to improve cross-browser compatibility and contribute to
    the project. The project aims to ensure that anyone coding with agents
    can take full advantage of the power and capabilities of the modern
    web platform.

    Q3.5 TIMELINES UPDATE: LOOKS LIKE THE INTELLIGENCE EXPLOSION WILL
    HAPPEN IN 2027 AFTER ALL (126 MINUTE READ) [15]

    A Superhuman AI Researcher (SAR) is predicted to arrive at some point
    in 2027, assuming there is no substantial deliberate slowdown in
    development. AIs that can automate all white-collar work are predicted
    to arrive before 2028. Companies are currently not on track to align
    an SAR, and using a misaligned SAR to do recursive self-improvement
    will have negative consequences. China will probably be able to steal
    the training recipe and maybe even the model weights if an SAR is
    trained in the near future.

    ANTHROPIC TO SEEK $1.3 TRILLION VALUATION IN IPO (5 MINUTE READ) [16]


    Anthropic plans to sell 825 million shares at a range of $70 to $78 a
    share in its initial public offering, which is expected to start
    trading on Thursday of next week. The company expects to raise an
    additional $26 billion from big investors, including Google and AMD.
    Some Anthropic executives and founding members plan to sell around
    23.6 million shares in the offering. At the planned valuation,
    Anthropic's IPO won't top SpaceX's record-breaking offering in June.

    AMAZON'S RING UNVEILS FLYING DRONE AND ROBOT TO PATROL HOMES AND
    BUSINESSES (3 MINUTE READ) [8]

    The Ring Drone Cam is a security camera that can fly from room to room to investigate suspicious activity. For $250, the drone can fly up to eight minutes at a time before autonomously returning to its charging dock. The Ring Rover Cam is a $1,000 device with a display and an extendable periscope camera mounted on a two-wheeled base.

    Reminds me of the movie, Runaway. In it, both these types of devices are common place. I'm intrigued by the Drone Cam, but there are some unanswered questions that Amazon hasen't addressed in their literature: Why is a subscription fee required? How does the drone handle intruders, if at all? Can it account for roaming pets? Also, according to Amazon, the drone is designed not to be quiet, which means using while sleeping may be problematic. It's not due out 'til January, so more info may be available then.
