King's College London found one model recommended nuclear weapons in 95% of 21 wargames.

Friday's brief starts with Perplexity Computer. Douglas frames it as a move away from one-off chatbot help and toward a digital worker that stays with a task. Memory is the hook. Computer can split work into subtasks, launch sandboxed agents, and keep context while jobs run for hours, weeks, or months. That makes the enterprise decision feel sharper. Teams are no longer only asking what a model can answer. They have to decide which workflows they are willing to hand to semi-autonomous software. Pricing is part of that story, with access tied to consumption, Max subscriber credits, and planned pro and enterprise availability as Computer moves toward production access. The brief then turns to visibility. Profound AI treats assistants, search tools, and recommendation engines like places where brands can be found, ranked, compared, and measured. It is SEO with a conversational front door. Marketing and content teams may have to tune for model outputs, not just webpages and social feeds. Hollywood gets the heavier segment. At a CNN and Variety town hall, Matthew McConaughey tells students to protect rights to their voice, image, and creative work. Permission is becoming the business model. His Dazed and Confused catchphrase trademark gives the point some shape: lock down identity before synthetic media makes copying easier. The lawsuits make that fight harder to ignore. Major film and music studios are challenging AI platforms over copyrighted training material, with 2024 cases testing whether movies, shows, and songs require permission or licensing before training. Teens close the loop. Young users see AI as faster learning and productivity, but they still worry about job loss and human creativity. Parents are lagging. About 40% have not talked with their children about artificial intelligence, leaving schools, families, policymakers, and employers to figure out when to use it, question it, and put limits around it.
