AWS tutorial: building a voice travel concierge with AgentCore and Nova Sonic

An AWS Machine Learning Blog tutorial walks through deploying a voice travel concierge on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: Amazon Nova 2.5 Sonic handles real-time speech-to-speech, Strands Agents defines the agent, and AgentCore Gateway exposes airline backend endpoints as MCP tools, with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases answering policy questions via RAG. The post says Nova 2.5 Sonic improves tool calling and multi-step agentic task completion and supports bidirectional streaming, asynchronous tool calls, latency masking and barge-in. The solution deploys with AWS CDK and a React front end on Amplify.

LibreOffice makes “no AI” a deliberate software feature

The Document Foundation says LibreOffice will not include AI in its default installation for the foreseeable future. It says the decision is intended to keep documents on users’ devices and avoid dependence on a single AI provider, while extensions can connect LibreOffice to local AI models.

Claude Opus 5.5 composes retro game music in Scrimshaw Jukebox test

On his blog, Simon Willison tested whether Claude Opus 5.5 could compose music, asking it to first design a simple text-based music format, then build an artifact that plays it aloud with example tracks, aiming for the quality of the original Secret of Monkey Island. The result was "Scrimshaw Jukebox," a pixel-art browser player containing six original adventure-game tracks (Moonlit Harbor, The Ghost Galleon and others), written as plain text and performed by an in-browser synthesizer with a piano-roll score view and editing. Willison called the output "surprisingly good" while noting it leaned harder into the Monkey Island theme than he intended.

ChatGPT adds real cartoonists' signatures to fake New Yorker cartoons

An investigation by Nieman Lab, reported by TechSpot, found that ChatGPT generates cartoons closely mimicking The New Yorker's style and content while also carrying the signatures of real cartoonists. Cartoonist Brendan Loper said a widely shared cartoon bearing his pen name "BLOPER" was not drawn by him, and that he was later contacted by strangers asking whether it was his. The report says other New Yorker cartoonists have been affected as well.

Analyst starts coverage of three defense stocks on AI-enabled warfare

Maggie Scully, an analyst at Rothschild & Co. Redburn, initiated coverage of US defense stocks on Tuesday, rating Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Kratos as “buy” with target prices as high as $650. Her thesis is that rising global military spending and growing battlefield use of low-cost, AI-enabled technology are driving both high-end precision systems and affordable, mass-deployable ones. Scully argued the US needs to develop and scale affordable mass munitions production quickly to counter asymmetric risks in modern warfare; the report also notes uncertainty around the midterm elections.

Interconnects: open-weight cyber-risk discourse is broken

An Interconnects opinion piece argues the public debate over open-weight models' cyber risk has gone off the rails: Anthropic's report on GLM-5.3 as an offensive cyber tool is largely reasonable technically, but ducks cross-cutting questions such as what happens if open models are banned and why Chinese labs consider their models safe to release. The author notes that documented cyberattacks so far mostly involve closed models, so "open dangerous, closed safe" may really be "open unsafe, closed unsafe," and says Chinese companies must register major model releases with the government along with evaluations, though it is unclear whether those cover cyber or bio risks. He adds that GLM-5.3, not Claude Mythos, is the model that crossed the capability threshold, and that more than a month after its weights were released there is little public evidence of a step change in harm.

Whistleblowers Say AI Researchers Are Checking Work Less Often

Three former AI lab employees told a New York City Council hearing that researchers are increasingly letting AI write code and conduct research, while checking its work less frequently. The labs have emphasized that AI has accelerated research, and Anthropic said in a recent report that AI was leading more than a quarter of its model R&D as of August.

AdvSim2Real trains web agents against adaptive prompt injection

The AdvSim2Real paper presents a simulated training setup that co-evolves web tasks, adaptive prompt-injection attacks, and an agent in a frozen web world model. The authors report that training a 4B agent this way improved completion with and without attacks, transferred to a real browser, and increased completion under an unseen frontier-model adversary by 33.6% relative to the base agent on 150 web tasks.
