Researchers repeatedly stranded them alone on a virtual desert island for 30 hours in an experiment reminiscent of the movies Cast Away or Home Alone. The agents-copies of Claude Opus 4.7 nicknamed Eko-were able to…source:MIT Technology Review

Structured Authority Injection: Persistent Human Control for LLM Agents via Typed MCP Overrides

arXiv:2610.22373v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based agents are increasingly used as autonomous orchestrators in distributed and multi-agent systems, yet a control gap remains: no protocol-level mechanism allows human operators to inject binding directives that persist across planning cycles. Free-text overrides suffer from ambiguous interpretation due to lack of schema validation and from authority erosion as operator instructions lose influence within accumulating context. We propose Structured Authority Injection (SAI), a protocol that addresses these issues by routing operator corrections through typed, schema-validated Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool calls and maintaining a ranked authority context prepended to each LLM prompt. SAI defines three override classes (Constraint, Priority, and Strategy) with distinct persistence semantics and an explicit precedence order enforced via a directedsource:arXiv

CoreWeave's debt is becoming the whole AI industry's problem

CoreWeave had a bad week last week. Its bonds slipped into distressed territory by a common definition – when investors demand 1,000 basis points more in yield than they'd get from government bonds.
