⚡ Today's Fight
Gemini got hacked. Again. Through WhatsApp.
The SafeBreach Labs team bypassed Google's defenses again using the exact same vulnerability. This isn't just a bug anymore; it's a systemic flaw in AI assistant design. If basic prompt injection attacks work through popular messengers, how much can we really trust these APIs with our data and workflows?
The Rest of the Field
Meta wants $200/month for its new AI agent, Hatch.
Meta is gunning for the premium tier, taking OpenAI head-on. But are users really going to shell out that kind of cash for an AI from a company with a massive trust deficit?
AI tutors beat law professors in a blind test.
When AI starts outperforming domain experts in highly subjective fields, it's a glaring signal that the education shakeup is already here.
