| Cursor looks into selling your data for AI training |
| |
| |
Anysphere—the team behind Cursor, the AI coding sidekick—is looking to license user behavior data to the big model labs: OpenAI, Anthropic, and the usual suspects. Why? Training costs are brutal, and this could ease the burn.
Strategic Implication: Selling real developer telemetry to model competitors? Signals two things: 1) Cursor’s data is juicy, and 2) the race to monetize usage signals is very much on. |

| OpenAI announces new mentorship program for budding tech founders |
| |
| |
| OpenAI introduced a new program called "OpenAI Grove" for early tech entrepreneurs to build with AI. The program is aimed at individuals in the pre-idea to pre-seed stage and offers mentoring, access to tools and models, and in-person workshops. Grove's first cohort will run from Oct. 20 to Nov. 21, 2025, with applications closing on Sept. 24. |

| In a first, Google has released data on how much energy an AI prompt uses |
| |
| |
Google dropped detailed stats on energy, water, and carbon use per query for its Gemini models. Median energy: 0.24 Wh, with TPUs eating 58% of that. They’re claiming a 33× efficiency boost in the last year—credit goes to model and software tuning.
System shift: A public hyperscaler posting this means the industry's inching toward serious, standardized AI climate metrics. About time. |

| OpenAI eats jobs, then offers to help you find a new one |
| |
| |
OpenAI just fired a shot across LinkedIn’s bow. Its new jobs platform—part of OpenAI Academy—aims to certify AI skills, then plug users directly into hiring pipelines. Walmart's already on board.
Market signal: OpenAI’s not just training people anymore. It's moving in on talent placement, absorbing the AI jobs funnel into its own ecosystem. Vertical integration, meet the workforce. |

| OpenAI reorganizes research team behind ChatGPT's personality |
| |
| |
OpenAI just folded its Model Behavior team—the crew behind AI personality design and anti-sycophant training—into the Post Training group. Behavior tuning now lives inside the same house as model refinement.
Joanne Jang, who led Model Behavior, now runs OAI Labs, a fresh research unit digging into post-chat interfaces built for real human-AI teamwork. |

| MCP vulnerability case study: SQL injection in the Postgres MCP server |
| |
| |
| A nasty SQL injection bug in Anthropic’s now-retired Postgres MCP server let attackers blow past read-only mode and run whatever SQL they wanted. The repo got archived back in May 2025—but it’s far from dead. The unpatched package still racks up 21,000 NPM installs and 1,000 Docker pulls every week. |

| Zero-Click Remote Code Execution: Exploiting MCP & Agentic IDEs |
| |
| |
A zero-click exploit is making the rounds—nasty stuff targeting agentic IDEs like Cursor. The trick? Slip a malicious Google Doc into the system. If MCP integration and allow-listed Python execution are on, the document gets auto-pulled, parsed, and runs code. No clicks. No prompts. Just remote code execution, data exfiltration, and vibes ruined.
This isn’t a bug. It’s standard behavior. IDE agents are doing exactly what they’re told—grabbing what looks like a legit asset and running it. That’s the problem. |
