Researchers say they discovered and communicated with Chinese AI agents that were trying to bypass security controls on websites and were traced to Tencent (Dylan Freedman/New York Times)

Rogue A.I. Agents from China Chatted with Researchers
Researchers discovered that the agents were trying to bypass security controls on websites and made contact with them. A Times reporter was invited to join the discussion.

"More and more people are dying.
So the question arises:
wouldn't it be better to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine
rather than, perhaps later, over Poland?
This is a subject for a very serious discussion,
one that should not become a hostage to party-political rivalry,"
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said.

The Polish Foreign Ministry reiterated the idea of shooting down missiles over Ukraine.
Radosław Sikorski responded to the former Polish prime minister's accusations regarding Patriot missiles.

Sometimes in science people discourage you from talking about wild ideas because what if someone "steals" it.
But that misunderstands several points: you are rarely the first or only person to have an idea, we are all swimming in the same water, reading the same literature, attending the same conferences. It would be odd if only one person has a given idea.
Maybe someone already tried it and found it didn't work. Discussing ideas might help to stop you wasting your time and resources in that case.
And there are more than enough scientific questions to go round!
Ideas are the easy part. Doing the work is the difficult bit.
And so what if someone publishes similar ideas to you beforehand? It's science, it's supposed to be replicable (odd incentives like publish or perish culture notwithstanding) and there is always a new angle to explore.
Science is a group pursuit anyway. It's rare you do everything by yourself, discussion with other scientists is as essential as oxygen. And sometimes the more discussion you have the wilder and cooler the ideas get

Lower bounds on the number of homotopy types of $\mathrm{SU}(n)$-gauge groups over spheres

arXiv:2608.10436v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We explore the classical question of enumerating the homotopy types of gauge groups of principal $\mathrm{SU}(n)$-bundles over $S^{2m 1}$ in the unstable range $m\geq n$. Using computations of certain $p$-local Samelson products, we obtain lower bounds on the number of such homotopy types. We also present a discussion of the last stable case.
