Proton Users Revolt After CEO Calls Security Caution 'Loser Thinking' Amid AI Push

Decrypt reports on backlash against Proton after 404 Media revealed that CEO Andy Yen called a request for pentesting time "loser thinking" while pushing engineers to use AI instead of hand-writing code. Proton cancelled planned AI-use re-interviews on 30 October 2026, and CTO Bart Butler's 1 November manifesto says engineers should direct LLMs and that most human code review may end.

Character-Name Concentration in LLM Fiction: Measuring Displacement and Mitigating Repetition

Speculative naming is a fine-tuning-free method that cuts character-name repetition in LLM fiction. It adapts draft-verify-reject from speculative decoding to names, using verbalized sampling and a SlopTracker that combines a per-model fingerprint with a runtime counter. Across 20 LLMs and 44,782 stories in four languages, it cut Slop Ratio by 95% and mean collision probability from 7.3% to 0.4%. Static banlists only displaced the concentration to emergent names.

AgentCap: Capability-Based Runtime Authorization for Secure LLM Agent Execution

AgentCap is a runtime authorization layer for LLM agents that moves the authorize decision out of the model and mediates every tool call through an MCP wrapper. It issues short-lived, budget-bounded capability tokens checked at the tool boundary, restricts delegation to attenuating parent-child chains, and uses a declarative policy language. On AgentDojo and InjecAgent it lowers attack success in every tested setting, reaching 0% with GPT-5.4.

GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5-Pro at Medium, High and XHigh reasoning accepted 16, 40, 43 and 52% of test data. As test-time effort rose, model answers diverged more from human answers on the same data.

Efficient Scalable Oversight via Rewinding

Rewindable interactive proofs (RIPs) are a new model of relativizing interactive proofs for scalable oversight, in which a weak verifier can rewind an AI prover to an earlier saved state. The paper builds an RIP for computations robust to changes in a small fraction of oracle answers. The honest prover runs in linear time, the verifier runs in nearly linear time in the input length after one-time preprocessing, and no cryptography is used. A preliminary MNIST experiment shows an RIP can be faster than a deployed proof system.

The Athlete as a Scientist of One: Agentic Bayesian Experimental Design for Individualized Physiology from Consumer Wearables

EpiCoach is an agentic system that treats one cross-country mountain biker as an N-of-1 experiment. Claims live in an evidence-gated hypothesis registry, and each must make a probabilistic prediction before a session. Predictions come from a digital twin fitted to heart rate, GPS and altitude. In a replay over eighteen months the twin beat standard forecasters on heart rate but not segment time, and the agent loop matched a static model. In the first three live weeks, the ledger sealed 20 predictions and scored 14, and a safety officer vetoed the agent twice. The registry, benchmark and protocol are released.

AskStream: When and What to Ask Proactively under Uncertainty in Streaming Video Understanding

AskStream is a multi-turn benchmark for streaming video understanding that adds a third proactive action, ask, alongside wait and answer, for cases where video or user information is incomplete. It has 438 videos, 2,714 manually annotated frame-level time windows (wait, ask, answer), four task categories and eight subtasks. The strongest model reaches only 52.18% on the proposed Ask-F1 metric, in both multiple-choice and open-ended settings.

Shor's algorithm compiled on cat qubits: 22 593 qubits for RSA-2048 in 3.14 days

Shor's algorithm compiled on cat qubits is an IACR ePrint (2026/2665) giving an end-to-end resource estimate on superconducting cat qubits, using repetition and LDPC cat codes. Factoring RSA-2048 needs about 23,000 cat qubits and 3.14 days, assuming phase-flip noise p_Z = 5e-4 and no bit-flips. secp256k1 ECDLP needs at most 30,000 qubits and 1 hour. A space-for-time trade runs RSA-2048 in 1.25 hours on about 611,000 qubits.

Think Before You Act: Decision Gate for LLM Agents

JevAct is a runtime verification framework that intercepts selected LLM agent actions before execution and returns feedback for bounded revision. It compiles domain policies into executable state checks and structured questions scored by a prefill-only decision model, giving probability-based judgments without generation. Tested on eleven agents with tau^2-bench Airline and Telecom and BFCL, it gained consistently on Telecom and BFCL and was mixed on Airline.

Best models reach 0.14 m player and 0.54 m ball localization error and 0.14 s contact-time error. Depth input helps 3D ball localization, and longer histories do not help forecasting.

Subexponential Algorithms for LWE via Rejection Sampling on Superlattices

Subexponential Algorithms for LWE via Rejection Sampling on Superlattices is an ePrint paper by Ligeng Fan, Changpeng Shao, Hongbo Li and Dingkang Wang. It extends the Ducas, Engelberts and Loyer superlattice framework to give a provable classical search-LWE algorithm for prime q in [n^2, 2n^2], using m=4n samples and time and space exp(O(n/ln ln n)). A second variant runs in 2^((1/2+o(1))n/ln R) for general parameters. It resolves a gap left by Kirchner and Fouque.

Decision Attacks on Known-Covariance Ring-LWE via Public Gram Determinants

Anis Bkakria's ePrint 2026/2638 gives polynomial-time decision attacks on Known-Covariance Ring-LWE (KCov-RLWE), the assumption Micciancio and Suhl introduced for simulation-secure threshold encryption. The public sample and covariance hint form a bordered Gram matrix whose determinant leaks a residual that differs between real and uniform samples. The attacks cover broad prime-modulus families at ring rank one and transfer to composite moduli with an odd prime divisor. Power-of-two moduli are not covered, and the paper does not break the full threshold-encryption scheme.

It builds on OpenAI's recent result that ω ≤ 9/4. With known matrix multiplication algorithms, the method already gives subquadratic search inside BDGL buckets.

Causal Chain of Thought: Mitigating Attention Leakage via Context Isolation

CausalCoT is an inference framework that splits a problem into a directed acyclic graph of atomic sub-questions and evaluates each node in an isolated context holding only its direct causal parents. This removes attention paths to non-parent content, so intermediate steps drive the answer rather than leaking from global context. It keeps benchmark accuracy competitive and raises causal sensitivity of reasoning steps by 12 points on average, up to 21, over the strongest baseline. The graph also allows test-time corrections that propagate downstream.

Rounded Gaussians are Discrete Gaussians is an IACR ePrint paper (2026/2583) by Corentin Jeudy. It shows that setting the rounded Gaussian parameter to sigma = s - 1/(24s) gives a distribution within Rényi divergence 1 + O(1/s^8) of a discrete Gaussian of parameter s. Lattice schemes can then use the simple, constant-time-friendly, low-memory rounded sampler while analyzing security against an ideal discrete Gaussian.

CarryoverBench is a benchmark of 12 personal-assistant scenarios and 101 attack tasks for carryover attacks, where a one-time indirect prompt injection planted in agent memory files or scheduled tasks re-fires in later sessions. Three trigger channels (Instant, Autonomous, Latent) are scored by a rule-based verifier with separate planting and triggering stages. Across five frontier models, payloads re-fire over five rounds without measurable decay. Porting the Latent channel to the Hermes runtime weakens the effect but does not remove it.

decomp.wtf is an open-source (MIT) local workspace where AI coding agents decompile games into C, one function at a time. Agents receive assembly, data, callers and earlier attempt notes, then each C candidate is compiled with the game's original compiler, linked at its real address and compared byte for byte, with instruction diffs on misses. It exposes MCP tools for Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI and opencode, plus a live view of agent calls and match scores.

How employment is changing at Anthropic

"How employment is changing at Anthropic" is an October 2026 technical report by Nathan Wilmers, Regina Catipon, Maxim Massenkoff and Peter McCrory. It uses internal employment, agent telemetry, output, survey, calendar and hiring data plus 17 interviews. Junior technical hiring fell from 27% to 9%, agent hours reached six times employee hours by August 2026, and adopters' output rose. Employees increasingly do meta-work managing agents.

[Draft ERC] Swarm AI Framework — registry and charter model for purpose-bound agent swarms

Ethereum Magicians discussion of a draft ERC, the Swarm AI Framework. It proposes a registry and charter model in which accounts, including autonomous agents, form, bound, run and dissolve purpose-bound swarms. A hashed on-chain SwarmSpec (roles with eligibility modules, phases, decision authorities, fallback timers) is paired with an off-chain Swarm Pack charter. Two-sided signed admission (EIP-712 / ERC-1271), challenge and substitution, and minor versus material amendments are included. Phase posture is a coordinate: executed boundary and admission, plus declared payoff, topology and coordination terms from a write-once vocabulary. This lets cooperation, competition, tenders, debate, ensembles and pipelines be expressed. It integrates with ERC-8004 agent identity and ERC-8436 decision adapters. The reference implementation is a non-upgradeable registry with five eligibility modules and a task-tender adapter. The post asks reviewers specific design questions on vocabulary, amendment classes, roster snapshots and digest kinds.

ToFu: Exploiting and Fuzzing the LLM–Orchestrator–Tool Trust Boundary

ToFu is a tool-aware fuzzing framework for LLM tools, including MCP servers. It maps each tool argument, using its metadata, to one of 74 CWE-guided semantics-aware sanitizers (path, URL, SQL and similar). It then generates schema-valid Atheris harnesses and semantic oracles, using runtime tracers for in-process tools and outcome oracles for opaque ones. The LLM (gpt-4.1) only maps sanitizers and writes seeds; it is never the security judge. The paper also shows a "Repeat-After-Me" trick, where an LLM told to repeat attacker-crafted text emits a tool call the orchestrator executes, reproduced on LangGraph, MAF, ADK 2.0, AutoGen, Strands and CrewAI. Across 273 runnable MCP servers (3,405 tools) it reports 253 verified bugs in 343 tools across 118 servers, such as path traversal, log injection and exfiltration. These are failures a crash-based fuzzer would miss. The result matters because it shows LLM-generated tool arguments cannot be treated as trusted.

ToFu: Exploiting and Fuzzing the LLM–Orchestrator–Tool Trust Boundary

ToFu is a tool-aware fuzzing framework that derives semantic security checks for LLM tools (mainly MCP servers) from their metadata and a corpus of 74 CWE-guided sanitizers. It generates schema-valid Atheris harnesses, uses runtime tracers and outcome oracles to catch bugs that don't crash, and uses an LLM only to map sanitizers and seed inputs, never as the judge. It also describes a "Repeat-After-Me" attack, in which the LLM is told to repeat attacker-written text that the orchestrator then dispatches as a tool call. It was reproduced on LangGraph, MAF, ADK, AutoGen, Strands and CrewAI. On 273 MCP servers it reports 253 verified bugs across 343 tools in 118 repositories, including path traversal, log injection, exfiltration and command bypass.

The One-Pixel of Reasoning: One Truthful Relation Is Enough to Mislead LLM Agents

The One-Pixel of Reasoning introduces the one-relation attack (ORA), which finds a critical implicit warrant linking evidence to a conclusion and inserts one source-grounded sentence that qualifies it, steering an LLM agent to a wrong belief. Across eighteen models on biomedical inference and vulnerability detection, best-of-10 attacks flip initially correct answers 54.9% of the time for proprietary models and 80.0% for open-weight models. Attacks transfer without victim feedback, can pass source-support checks, and multi-agent debate raises team error from 50.0% to 59.5%.

An X thread by Mikko Laakkonen arguing that companies should encourage staff to vibe code, then provide approved hosting, identity, secrets, deployment and monitoring. It lists 200 application checks in 17 sections, from ownership and data flow through keys, authz, coding-agent isolation, appsec, SBOM and releases to recovery, runtime AI and handover. It adds 16 EU bonus checks on GDPR, NIS2, the Cyber Resilience Act (reporting from 11 Sept 2026, main duties 11 Dec 2027), the AI Act and the Data Act. It builds on Mark Ajzenstadt's production-readiness post and links a 300-check worksheet version.

DietrichGebert/ponytail

Ponytail is a single skill prompt (skills/ponytail/SKILL.md, with a compact AGENTS.md) that makes coding agents write only the code a task needs, reusing existing components while keeping validation, error handling, security and accessibility. The author benchmarked it in Claude Code with Opus 5.5 over 39 tasks, 5 runs each, including a real FastAPI + React repo. They report -53% code, -41% time, -26% cost and -45% tokens, and 98% of risky logic shipping with a test versus 68% without. It adds /ponytail-review and /ponytail-audit commands, a Claude Code cost/token band with a local board, and installs through Claude Code and Codex plugin marketplaces or as a rules file for Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, OpenCode and others.

Post-Quantum Stateless Steganography & MTU Bounds: Bridging P2P Censorship Resistance to Quantum Networks

Forum announcement of a Zenodo preprint on post-quantum migration for censorship-resistant P2P steganographic tunnels. It argues that ML-KEM's prime modulus (q=3329) makes naive bit-packed ciphertexts statistically distinguishable from uniform noise, which gives a cheap passive DPI distinguisher. It also argues that composite PQ 0-RTT envelopes over 4.4 KB force fragmentation, which requires stateful reassembly before AEAD verification and reopens memory-exhaustion DoS in eBPF/XDP filters. Proposed fixes are algebraic uniformization (LWR lattices or inverse rejection sampling), sub-MTU hybrid or pure-PQ envelopes (Falcon-512, signcryption), and Fujisaki–Okamoto implicit rejection for constant-time silent drops. Aimed at Ethereum validator, libp2p and RPC transports facing harvest-now-decrypt-later threats.
