Today, @TexasLonghorns announced the launch of "Bevo Lab," an initiative that will develop artificial intelligence-driven tools for coaches & student-athletes across its 21 varsity athletic programs, including sport-specific chatbots. I chatted with the project's leader, former Spurs exec and current Ringer NBA analyst @kirkgoldsberry, about how Bevo Lab plans to give Texas a competitive edge, the opportunities and ethical questions that come with bringing AI into college athletics, and how he squares the uniquely human appeal of sports with the industry’s growing embrace of tech. "There are reasons to be skeptical about AI and its impact in many domains—and trust me, I’m there. I’m a writer," he tells @FOS. "But when it comes to sports analytics, it’s pretty clear that this stuff is going to lead to a lot of improvement and a lot of new standards for best practices." frontofficesports.com/articl…

yeah as others have said, two different trends around AI + cyber are happening at the same time and its confusing: AI helping cybersecurity situation: - 5.6 sol (yay daybreak) discovering this PHP vulnerability that was already there so people can patch it (of course can be worse in short term while lots of systems go unpatched, and also long tail of legacy unpatched systems) AI not helping cybersecurity situation: - lots of AI powered automated cyberattacks (e.g. railway and opencode hacks) Vulnerability discovery probably on average favors defenders in the medium term. Automating cyber operations will help attackers a lot though, and probably enough to overwhelm positive effects on the former (every random community bank or old person is not gonna have AI swarms protecting them against AI swarm attacks). Of course the cycle of patching vulnerabilities is becoming a lot harder because of how fast automated cyberattacks are. Also an aside on AI spear fishing in particular - Literally today I had one of those fake tech crunch reporters reach out over DMs and the fake was pretty convincing (thousands of followers, tweets and photos about tech crunch, but when I googled became clear person didn't exist). People who are not used to the idea that people can lie in convincing ways on the internet are going to get exploited over and over again and its gonna be bad (and also generally make it way harder to have good interactions with humans you don't know online).

Litigation is going to EXPLODE. Customer service teams are already seeing it. We’re entering what I’m calling “The Age of AI Review” Absolutely no one is safe from scrutiny.

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

We've reached the mayhem stage for France. It's 10-year yield is exploding higher as is Italy's. Everyone else is getting safe haven inflows, notably the US and Germany. We've reached the stage where France's crisis is idiosyncratic and self-perpetuating. robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/…

French 30yr yields are going absolutely PARABOLIC. They breached 5.59% today - the highest level since 2002. Yep, even during the Great Financial Crisis, yields were lower than they are today. The market is losing confidence in the French State.

I have no idea how our country moves forward.

The Pentagon is thinking expansively about conducting “economic warfare,” particularly against China. Now, it’s mulling a new or expanded deep-cover spying capability as part of that mission. NEW from me and @wstrobel: washingtonpost.com/national-…
