Also covered: the PerSo persuasion benchmark, Anthropic’s Opaque Systems agreement, British AI-regulation testimony, and Colossal Biosciences’ de-extinction platform.\nBlock describes AI-assisted security triage, investigation, and patch proposals with human review.\nThird Moment Research details sustained agent investigations and a faster quantitative-finance backtest.\nSimon Willison adds Gemini 4 Argon support and examines API and benchmark-run costs.\nPerSo tests perspective-reading and persuasive responses using ChangeMyView dialogues.\nAnthropic agrees to license Opaque Systems technology and hire some engineers.\nOpenAI and Anthropic call for British AI legislation; Google DeepMind and Meta decline to back new laws.\nColossal Biosciences announces an AI platform, with a Peter Diamandis fund for startups using it.\nSources:\n- Block and OpenAI: https://openai.com/index/block-ai-powered-security\n- Third Moment Research: https://openai.com/index/third-moment-research\n- Gemini 4 Argon and llm-gemini: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Oct/13/llm-gemini/\n- PerSo paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.20548v1\n- Anthropic and Opaque Systems: https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/anthropic-strikes-licensing-acqui-hire-deal-ai-security-startup\n- British parliamentary hearing: https://www.wired.com/story/openai-and-anthropic-tell-british-lawmakers-regulate-us/\n- Colossal Biosciences: https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/14/colossal-biosciences-announces-new-ai-platform-to-help-accelerate-de-extinction-efforts/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/U8MjYsqEAUXr8sykSIjiubn3kUnZpkcAAqCjELTLubA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85YWE0/MDRlYTJkZTY4ZDhk/N2YzZjZmYzg0ZmQ2/Mzg1NC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
