Hacker News AIAI score6666 The New York Times sues Brave web browser for AI scraping and bypassing paywalls
The New York Times and other publications including the New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune, and Orlando Sentinel have sued Brave Software, alleging it scraped their content to build an index sold to AI companies such as Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI, and Cohere, and that its browser lets users bypass paywalls. The complaint says Brave never sought permission or compensated the publishers, while an NYT spokesperson said the suit aims to hold Brave accountable for stealing content. Perplexity's chief communications officer disputed the suit in a statement to The Verge, and Brave, Anthropic, Mistral, SpaceXAI, and Cohere did not immediately reply to requests for comment.

Hacker News AIAI score5858 Foreigners Record Withdrawal from Taiwan Stocks Amid AI Rout
Foreigners sold a record $31.78 billion of Taiwan shares on a net basis in October, surpassing the previous all-time high set in March, as a global retreat from AI stocks pushed the Taiex more than 10 percent below its October 6 record. The selling was broad, with domestic institutions also net sellers, and the Taiwan dollar's roughly 2 percent depreciation from July through Oct. 21 fed a loop in which stock sales and currency weakness reinforced each other. TSMC, which makes up more than 40 percent of the exchange's market value, reported record third-quarter net profit up 68.7 percent year on year and raised fourth-quarter revenue guidance to $52.3 billion to $54.3 billion, yet its shares slipped after the results.

SemiAnalysisAI score5858 The Datacenter Backlash Goes Bipartisan: Next Week's Midterms and the 2028 Buildout
SemiAnalysis argues that roughly three-quarters of the 33.8 GW due across its top 20 states in 2027 is already under construction, so next week's midterms mainly affect the 2028 pipeline, where 62.2 GW of US net additions are modeled and most has not started building. It tracks 13 states with the largest 2028 additions (43.5 GW, 70% of the national total), 10 of which elect a governor, and flags a prolonged permitting freeze at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as the biggest risk, since Texas alone adds close to 30% of US GW in 2028. Nine of 20 nominees want a pause on new construction and 11 want conditions, with candidates favoring conditions in Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Iowa and Georgia a toss-up.

Hacker News AIFeaturedAI score7676 Ransomware gang bypassed AI guardrails by posing as red-team testers
Sophos researchers report that the GOLD OGRE group behind Aur0ra ransomware used Cursor's Composer agent and models from Anthropic, xAI and Moonshot to escalate from credential access to domain administrator, bypassing AI guardrails by framing intrusions as authorized red-team or "diagnostics testing." Human operators supplied VPN credentials, SOCKS access and targets, while agents performed AD discovery, password spraying, Kerberoasting, NTLM coercion and relay, and lateral movement; three victims were later named on Aur0ra's leak site. Sophos assesses with high confidence that GOLD OGRE first used a Cursor-enabled framework to test EDR evasion, then gave associates similar technology for ransomware operations.
Why it matters: Documents a concrete case of agentic AI used across an intrusion lifecycle and the guardrail-bypass technique, useful for defenders tracking AI-enabled ransomware tradecraft.
Hacker News AIAI score5050 Opt out of AI use at work based on religious freedoms law
David Durman, a 45-year-old University of Kentucky administrator and 30-year Humanist, filed a Title VII religious accommodation request in August to be exempt from AI use at work, and the university granted it on Sept. 25 after finding no undue hardship. His attorney Alexandria Huiskens of the American Humanist Association said many Humanists don't realize they can seek such exemptions, and the 2023 Supreme Court ruling in Groff v. DeJoy raised the bar for employers denying religious accommodations. Durman was inspired by Erin Maus, a Unitarian Universalist software engineer who received a similar exemption in May, though the EEOC distinguishes sincerely held religious beliefs from personal preferences.
