It may be the weekend, but the AI News doesn’t take a day off. AI is infiltrating Warren Buffett and Capital One credit cards and Kylie Jenner’s Meta glasses are just creepy.
1. Capital One releases VulnHunter, an open-source AI tool that finds software flaws before hackers do
Capital One on Thursday released VulnHunter, an open-source, agentic AI security tool that scans source code for exploitable vulnerabilities, maps out how an attacker would reach them, and proposes targeted fixes — all before a single line ships to production. The tool, built internally and now available on GitHub under an Apache 2.0 license, is one of the most ambitious attempts by a major financial institution to turn offensive AI capabilities into a public defensive resource.
2. Warren Buffett’s message to investors: Be careful
Warren Buffett is worried.
The legendary investor called out reckless speculation in markets and the massive cost of the AI buildout during a rare interview with CNBC on Wednesday.
“It’s tough to find values when everybody is preferring gambling,” the famously disciplined bargain hunter said.
3. Nvidia CEO doubles down on AI and stock market verdict
In the span of a few days in early June, AI and chip stocks lost $1.3 trillion in market value. U.S. semiconductor names got hit hard. Investors who had been riding the AI wave suddenly started asking whether the trade had run too far ahead of reality.
4. How Google’s New Gemini Rates Work and How to Track Your Usage
Earlier this summer, Google rolled out a bunch of upgrades to its Gemini AI apps, making them more powerful than ever. Google’s AI can now work across more apps, and it’s getting increasingly difficult to use anything made by Google without bumping into some kind of AI feature or assistant.
Besides all of the AI upgrades though, there are also new limits on usage. Google has completely revamped the way that AI usage is measured and metered out across the various tiers: Free, Plus, Pro, and Ultra.
5. Smart glasses are deeply creepy. Why are celebrities like Kylie Jenner endorsing them?
Imagine if every time you left the house, you couldn’t be sure that the stranger you met at a bar – or even the person walking by you in the street – wasn’t secretly recording you. It sounds like something out of a Black Mirror episode, but let’s face it, the era of wearable technology is fully upon us as everyday accessories have been developed to help track health and fitness data, receive smartphone notifications, and provide hands-free accessibility.
So when Meta announced their AI glasses a few years ago, it wasn’t too surprising that one of the biggest (and most embattled) tech companies on earth had begun cashing in on our obsession with watching others. And their AI glasses have already raised serious concerns over privacy, personal safety and even our sense of agency.
