MICROSOFT RUSHES EMERGENCY WINDOWS UPDATES: SEPTEMBER PATCH BROKE REMOTE DESKTOP, HYPER-V SHARES AND USB AUDIOOut-of-band update released September 14. KB5129195 for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, KB5129194 for 26H1, and server builds KB5129235 for Server 2025, KB5129237 for Server 2022 and KB5129238 for Server 2019, per Microsoft's release notes and BleepingComputer. Microsoft's words: after the September security update, RDS 'might become unstable, causing RDP connection and sign-in failures or servers to become unresponsive.' Also fixed: Plan9 folder sharing to Linux VMs and multichannel USB Audio Class 1.0 devices. Cumulative, on Windows Update, WSUS and the Catalog. A separate USB audio Code 10 issue is still open. If you patched RDS hosts last Tuesday and users cannot sign in, this is why.
TRUMP, ON SPEAKERPHONE AT THE ALL-IN SUMMIT: 'THE ROBOTS WILL NOT BE TAKING OVER. THE WHOLE THING IS A HOAX'September 14, Los Angeles. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took a call from the President on stage and put it on speaker. Trump: 'The AI will not be taking over the rest of the world. The whole thing is a hoax.' On data centers: 'the oil of the next 20, 25 years.' Huang: 'We're going to make sure that everybody wins in the AI race in America.' Two days after Amodei, Altman and Musk agreed on pacing, the White House position is on the record and it is the opposite.
404 MEDIA: HUNDREDS OF CONTRACTORS ARE READING REAL CHATGPT CHATS UNDER 'PROJECT LILY'Published September 14. Contractors read whole conversations, summarize what the user asked, and rate the replies on a 1 to 7 scale, partly to make the model less sycophantic and less prone to talking about itself as a person. Usernames are stripped. OpenAI says it tries to remove personal details first and acknowledged that sensitive details can still get through. One reviewer quoted: 'I don't think they would imagine some contractor somewhere is analyzing the conversations.' If your staff paste client data into ChatGPT, this is the disclosure to show them.
TEMPORAL RAISES $550 MILLION AT $12.55 BILLION AS AGENTS RUN FOR WEEKS, NOT MINUTESSeptember 14. Series E co-led by Lightspeed with Wellington, Goldman Sachs Growth Equity and Tiger Global.

GATES FOUNDATION PLEDGES $1 BILLION OVER TWO YEARS SO AI DOES NOT SKIP THE POORThe 2026 Goalkeepers report, out September 15. The money goes to health, education, agriculture and local-language datasets, with partners that include OpenAI and Anthropic per AP.

LINA KHAN: 'THERE'S NO AI EXEMPTION FROM LAWS ALREADY ON THE BOOKS,' CITES A 1934 RULINGThe former FTC chair posted Sunday, September 14. Her point: enforcers can already charge companies and their CEOs for releasing 'dangerous, unvetted, or defective products', including agents shipped without measures to catch rogue ones. She cited FTC v. R.F. Keppel and Bro from 1934 on competition that forces rivals into practices they should not adopt, and noted Nvidia now owns Hugging Face, so a Hugging Face lawsuit against OpenAI is unlikely.
