#10 - The Parrot Learned to Fly a Fighter Jet

Before, AI was a clever parrot answering questions. Now it's flying fighter jets, breaking into governments, and driving paid taxis — all by itself.

🔐 01:09 — The first fully autonomous AI cyberattack on a government An Israeli security firm caught AI agents — no human at the wheel — breaking into Taiwan's government over 4 days, 12 attack waves, 21 systems, cracking 85 accounts and walking out with 2,500 personal records. Suspected China-linked, unconfirmed. Cost of attack: collapsed, thanks to open-weight models and a harness.

🚖 05:29 — Las Vegas becomes the world's biggest experiment Nevada approved Tesla, Waymo, and Uber (via Zoox and Motional) to charge for driverless rides — up to 5,000 cars each over 12 months, though Tesla's actual cap right now is 10. Munich, Berlin, and Vienna are all watching to see if it works.

⚖️ 09:38 — AI judicial immunity A Nevada federal court ruled judges can't be sued even if they fully outsourced a ruling to AI. The case: a litigant caught a judge's ruling sounding AI-written and sued — dismissed, because courts don't have to decide if the AI claim is true, only whether AI use creates liability.

✈️ 13:23 — An AI pilot flew a real F-16 A DARPA program had AI fly nearly the entire flight of an F-16 fighter jet, human only for takeoff. Pilotless combat jets are now openly being discussed.

None of this is a theoretical debate anymore. AI news for humans, not robots.
