Despite Australia promising tougher penalties for a world-first social media ban for children, a new study indicates that six months in, the policy has barely affected youth access.
Microsoft has shut down a long-running malicious extension operation on the Edge Add-ons store that hid its payloads inside ordinary image and font files, then woke up days after install to steal credentials and run ad fraud. The company calls it StegoAd, a mash-up of steganography and adware, and ties 119 extensions to a single threat actor it says has been active since at least 2021.

Human Agent in the loop I dislike the phrase “human in the loop” because it cedes authority to the machines. Let’s flip the narrative. It’s our loop, we work the same way we always have, now we recruit agents to join the team. An agent-assisted process need not be a black box that takes in prompts and emits features. [...] Let’s do agentic software development like that. Not as a loop we’ve been excluded from, instead as one we invite agents into. — Jon Udell , “Doctor, it hurts when agents create unreviewable PRs.” “Don’t do that.” Tags: jon-udell , coding-agents , generative-ai , agentic-engineering , ai , llms

Hack Your Summer I learned about this initiative from DJ Patil this morning: It’s a 4-week, high-velocity production sprint for undergraduate students, graduate students, and recent graduates who want to build something real this summer. You’ll learn how to identify a project, make steady progress, get support from mentors and peers, and create tangible, public-facing work you can actually show future employers. Hack Your Summer is partly a reaction to the internship crisis facing US college students this year. There are way fewer available internships than usual, as companies have reduced their hiring ambitions and teams have less capacity to coach interns. Hack Your Summer provides an alternative path for the many students who didn't catch one of those rare internships. A second (free) cohort starts on July 13th, and the deadline for students to apply is July 8th. They're also accepting volunteers to help mentor the students. Tags: careers
