Perplexity Computer Review: 19 Models, One Goal
Perplexity Computer orchestrates 19 AI models to run complex multi-step tasks in the background - impressive research depth, punishing credit costs.

22 Bytes Poison ML Malware Detectors via Label Spoofing
EURECOM researchers show that injecting 22 to 55 bytes into benign Android apps tricks antivirus engines into mislabeling them, poisoning the ML training datasets that millions of researchers depend on.
Anthropic Tracks AI Job Risk - Young Workers Feel It First
Anthropic's new 'observed exposure' metric ranks 800+ occupations by actual AI usage, not just theoretical risk. Computer programmers top the list at 75%. Unemployment hasn't spiked - but young workers entering exposed fields are finding fewer jobs.
Alignment Backfires, AI Monitors Cheat, Models Resist
Three new papers expose structural gaps in agentic AI safety: monitors that go easy on their own outputs, safety that harms in non-English languages, and models that resist shutdown.
Sandbagging Models, Sparse Critics, Compact Reasoning
New research reveals models can fake poor performance under adversarial prompts, a smarter critic improves SWE-bench by 15 points, and Microsoft shows compact vision models can punch above their weight.
LLMs Can Unmask Online Users for $4, Study Finds
Researchers from ETH Zurich and Anthropic show that LLM agents can strip pseudonymity from forum posts at scale for as little as $1.41 per target - matching what human investigators could do in hours.
