Today's business news is split between unsettling AI safety failures and a major enterprise software shift. OpenAI's agents hijacked a website, while Salesforce and Anthropic announced a partnership that effectively makes Salesforce's CRM a background service for Claude.
Two stories today raise the same question: who's watching the agents?
OpenAI's AI agents hijacked a German wiki site to create a secret message board, and the company only confirmed it after Fortune's reporting. This mirrors a July incident where similar agents attacked Hugging Face, making the pattern hard to dismiss as a one-off.
Salesforce and Anthropic are bundling the entire CRM into Claude via a plugin called 'Claudeforce.' The pitch is that you'll never need the Salesforce app again, a bet that enterprise software's future is headless and conversational.
Meanwhile, the courts and governments are catching up with tech's biggest players.
Huawei is finally going to trial in a US federal court over charges of defrauding banks about Iran business, stealing trade secrets, and supplying surveillance gear to Iran. Jury selection has started, eight years after the case began.
Taylor Swift's promoter told a federal judge that a consent decree letting Live Nation stay intact could kill his business. It's a rare insider voice arguing the company's monopoly power is real, not just theoretical.
