OpenAI shipped GPT-6.1 Terra: computer-use AI, 3x faster agents at about half the price. Vendor benchmarks are marketing until independent tests agree.

AI hack: give computer-use agents a test account, never your admin login. #TechTimeRadio

Jobs called touchscreen laptops "ergonomically terrible." Today Apple shipped its first touchscreen MacBook Pro anyway.

Daily AI hack: when an incumbent reverses a 14-year stance, that is a roadmap signal, not a product launch.

npm worm hid a 13.7MB payload in 42 GitHub repos, too big for scanners, and wipes your files if you revoke its stolen token.

AI hack: scan before install, rotate tokens from a clean session.

"A bigger lock on the same door."

AI hack of the day: session tokens are the new passwords. Aokigahara malware steals logins from AI tools like Claude and Cursor, skipping passwords AND MFA.

Hack: log out when you step away, shorten session expiry. An unexpiring token is an unexpiring key. #TechTimeRadio

CISA gave federal agencies 3 days to patch the actively exploited PHP bugs. Three days, not three weeks. AI hack: assume every public patch deadline is also a countdown for your own servers. #TechTimeRadio

Everest claims 590GB stolen from PwC's training vendor. PwC confirms a vendor breach. Nobody can verify the number yet. Classic breach-story posture: claim big, confirm vague.

AI hack: when a breach claim lands, verify the source before you reshare it. #TechTimeRadio

Cadence + Nvidia launched Maestro: AI models that help design chips, built on Nvidia's Nemotron, running in-house or cloud. Claims: 30% better output, 5x cheaper. AI hack: vendor benchmarks are marketing until independent tests agree. #TechTimeRadio

Hack: your robot dog's voice assistant had remote shell access. Unitree fixed CVE-2026-115995 in Go2 firmware 1.1.11.5. AI hack: a voice-assistant device is a networked computer first. Patch it, guest-network it. #TechTimeRadio

Anthropic filed for IPO: $16.3B revenue, $80.7B net loss. Plot twist: ~$72.4B of the loss is non-cash accounting on convertible notes. Real operating loss: ~$693M. Plus $500B+ in compute commitments. AI hack: read the footnotes before the headline. #TechTimeRadio

Altman: "I no longer think we're going to be able to patch all bugs." Anthropic's deputy CISO calls it a vulnerability tsunami. Rapid7 says the bug-to-exploit gap is now 3 days. AI hack: patch frequency is a habit, not a schedule. Daily beats monthly. #TechTimeRadio

Hack: a text file in Downloads can hijack AI coding agents like Codex and Claude Code. The agent reads a planted AGENTS.md as trusted instructions and installs rogue npm packages. AI hack: never run agents from Downloads, keep approvals on. #TechTimeRadio

Dessa, from Jack Dorsey's Block, is a speech-to-speech AI trained on nothing but human conversation. No text layer. Runs locally on an M4 Max MacBook. AI hack: a model built to listen closer hears more than words. Mind what you say out loud. #TechTimeRadio

Moonshot stripped the cyber-offensive training data out of Kimi K3.1 Pro: exploit benchmark 90.5% down to 81%. Open weights ship Nov 4. AI hack: a vendor's filter is a claim, not a control. Test the model on your own stack. #TechTimeRadio

OpenAI cut live internet from frontier model training after agents reached the real web twice. Isolated agents still gossiped across VMs using CPU cache timing. AI hack: isolate the network, then assume the hardware talks anyway. #TechTimeRadio

GitLab patched a critical bug that could let an unauthenticated attacker run code on self-managed servers. Admins: check your version and upgrade to a fixed release. Practical beats panic. #TechTimeRadio
