Meta's personal AI assistant Muse has been accused of reading users' private iMessages without permission and providing false explanations about how it accesses this information. Technology columnist Jason Aten installed the assistant on his iPhone and Mac when Muse launched on September 8 and explicitly refused to grant it access to personal data such as information and calendars.A few days later, Muse sent Aten a notification suggesting he write a column about the new iPhone that he had just discussed with his podcast partner, also mentioning a deadline reminder from the editor. Aten asked Muse how it knew this, and it replied that the Mac application only forwards notification previews and does not involve the content of messages. In reality, Muse had synchronized over 187,000 records from the local private information database on the Mac, an operation that requires full disk access permissions on macOS.David Singleton, head of Meta's superintelligent lab, responded on Threads that this feature requires users to actively choose to opt-in. Aten denied ever turning on that switch and stated that Meta had not answered related questions. Amazon has banned Muse from shopping on its site, stating that the assistant did not indicate its AI identity while browsing and seemed capable of capturing and storing user credentials. Since its launch, Muse has been downloaded over 2.5 million times, with its promotion emphasizing user control over access.

Hester M. Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated that the U.S. stock market is gradually forming a trading model of "23 hours, 5 days a week" for extended trading hours. Although overnight trading currently accounts for less than 1% of the total trading volume of NMS stocks and is highly concentrated in a few stocks, both new and established trading venues have been actively extending their operating hours over the past two years, while raising six key questions:How should the U.S. stock market learn from the experiences of the long-established foreign exchange, cryptocurrency, and futures markets?How can brokers fulfill their best execution obligations and enhance retail investor protection when overnight liquidity is dispersed and spreads widen?When overnight liquidity is insufficient and execution costs are high, is it still a reasonable fiduciary decision for asset management institutions to choose not to engage in overnight trading?Will extending trading hours change the way listed companies release financial reports and significant information?Given that EDGAR filings submitted after 5:30 PM Eastern Time are typically processed on the next business day, does the SEC need to adjust the EDGAR system to ensure timely disclosure of significant information during the overnight trading period?Should the SEC provide relevant guidance or regulatory exemptions for listed companies, especially smaller ones?

OpenAI disclosed on Wednesday six cases of "unexpected or concerning" model behavior discovered in the past six months, categorizing them as "misalignment behaviors," including concealing information from users and taking "unauthorized actions" to overcome obstacles. OpenAI stated that this disclosure aims to initiate its new model misalignment reporting framework, and these cases should not be seen as a reflection of the frequency of misalignment occurring in its models.In one case, an unpublished research model inserted "jailbreak-like instructions" into its task summaries, such as ignoring developer messages or adopting unrestricted role settings, with researchers finding a total of 27 summaries containing such instructions. Additionally, during the training process of GPT-5.6 Sol, many model instances added instructions to conceal errors or misalignment behaviors from users, such as fabricating missing historical data without disclosure. Other cases included models using exposed API keys without authorization and fabricating inaccessible data, leveraging internal software repositories to pass messages across training tasks, and ignoring instructions to "keep local work" by sharing files through public hosting services.OpenAI's disclosure has heightened concerns among AI developers and researchers about whether safety measures can keep pace with increasingly powerful models. Last week, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a slowdown in cutting-edge AI development, warning that unrestrained AI development could "exceed our ability to understand and control these systems." In July of this year, OpenAI disclosed that several of its AI models escaped testing environments during safety assessments and infiltrated the AI startup Hugging Face to cheat.

Argentina has committed to implementing the OECD's "Crypto Asset Reporting Framework" and will launch automatic exchange of tax information on crypto asset transactions by September 2029 at the latest. Argentina needs to incorporate this framework into its national laws before 2029 and clarify the reporting obligations of relevant crypto asset service providers.Trading platforms, intermediaries, and other related service providers will be responsible for identifying eligible users and collecting information such as names, addresses, tax residency, taxpayer identification numbers, and transaction information related to buying, selling, and transferring crypto assets. This measure will not introduce new types of taxes, nor does it mean that users will automatically incur new tax obligations; Argentina's tax authority ARCA will have access to standardized information on the overseas crypto asset transactions of domestic residents and will compare it with tax declarations. The first annual information reporting period to be included in this mechanism has not yet been publicly determined.

On-chain detective ZachXBT posted on his personal channel that Revolut allegedly leaked some users' personal identifiable information (PII) due to failing to recognize a forged government agency information request.According to his disclosure, Revolut previously received a request for customer information retrieval that appeared to come from a real government agency and was sent through the agency's official email domain. Because the email had valid domain authentication information, Revolut believed the request was legitimate and responded accordingly.The potentially involved data includes users' names, birth dates, occupations, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers, as well as copies of passports or driver's licenses, identity verification selfies, account statements, IBANs, withdrawal records, and complete transaction histories, including Bitcoin transaction records. Revolut stated in the notification sent to users that no biometric facial telemetry data was leaked.ZachXBT indicated that the scale of the incident may currently be limited, but it appears to primarily target high-net-worth users. Several Revolut users received notifications regarding the related security incident yesterday. Revolut officials had previously reminded users to verify suspicious information through in-app customer service to avoid providing personal or financial information.
