Bonjour, and welcome to Thursday. Today, AI shows its two faces in security. OpenAI says its agents found 948 Linux kernel bugs and wrote patches for them, and the top Hacker News story says AI is forcing us to pay off 40 years of technical debt. That is real good news, and still, the same speed works for attackers, while the patching is still done by humans.

The warnings are also moving to more serious places. Apple wrote about agents that could 'conceal' and 'manipulate' in its 10-K, a legal filing. In Tuesday's midterms, voters picked candidates who want limits on data centers, and Transformer says strong AI laws now look much more likely. OpenAI is already working to shape the 2028 election. When the builders want rules and also want to shape who writes them, I ask: who checks them? Rules need independent auditors, not only the labs' own ideas.

Watch Congress coming back on November 9, Friday's jobs report, and Apple Intelligence testing in China on Alibaba's Qwen. And today, check two things: the training settings in your AI apps, and what your agents can touch.

Today's Morning Tokens:

1. AI finds 948 Linux bugs, and 40 years of old code comes due
2. Apple's legal filing warns of agents that 'conceal' and 'manipulate'
3. After the midterms: data centers lose, AI rules look more likely
4. Gemini trains on paid chats, and our devices listen more
5. A fake job interview led to a $6.3B Binance heist
6. Kimi K3.1 Pro goes open, and open models carry most of OpenRouter
7. Coding agents: OpenAI and Meta buy, Apple cuts budgets
