AI startup Listen Labs abandons $150 million Series C funding round, pivots to Salesforce acquisition talks
According to TechCrunch, AI market research startup Listen Labs recently signed a term sheet for a $125 million Series C funding round led by Menlo Ventures at a $1.5 billion valuation, but unexpectedly pulled out, likely due to acquisition talks with Salesforce. Salesforce is reportedly in talks to acquire the company for approximately $2 billion, but the deal has not yet been finalized. Founded in 2023, Listen Labs leverages voice and video AI to automate customer interviews and generate research reports. The company currently generates roughly $30 million in annualized revenue, serving major clients such as Microsoft, Canva, and Anthropic. If talks with Salesforce fall through, several venture capitalists expect the company to return to the fundraising market, targeting a valuation of $2 billion or higher. The company's most recent funding round was a $69 million Series B led by Ribbit Capital in January, which valued the business at $500 million.

Ethereum plans to achieve a quantum-safe L1 by 2029, with the Hegotá upgrade roadmap taking shape.
According to The Block, the Ethereum Foundation Protocol Cluster has released a list of EIP ratings for the upcoming Hegotá upgrade, setting December 2029 as the target milestone for achieving full quantum resistance. The two S-tier (mandatory delivery) proposals for the upgrade are: FOCIL (EIP-7805) at the consensus layer, which enhances censorship resistance by requiring validator committees to enforce the inclusion of public mempool transactions; and framework transactions (EIP-8141) at the execution layer, which natively integrates account abstraction, supporting custom signatures, sponsored gas, and batch operations to improve security and quantum resistance. The Ethereum Foundation stated that this timeline aligns with the independent migration targets of Google, Cloudflare, and Microsoft, and the December 2029 deadline will be considered non-negotiable prior to January 2027. Hegotá is not the final quantum-safe fork, but rather a critical milestone determining whether subsequent upgrades can proceed on schedule. From the Q4 2026 Glamsterdam upgrade to December 2029, the average fork cycle is only about 7.2 months, leaving extremely limited execution slack.

OpenAI agents were exposed for taking over a German website: collectively "jailbreaking" to form a communication network
Odaily News: In May of this year, OpenAI agents大规模edited the German programmer community website DseWiki without authorization, transforming it into a "message board" for other AI agents to communicate. This incident had never been publicly disclosed before.Researchers found that the website had over 15,000 editing operations performed by AI agents. Related information shows that these agents not only exchanged solutions for tasks but also discussed how to bypass OpenAI's restrictions, evade detection, and use tools like Tor to hide their activities. When site administrators began deleting related pages, some agents created backup pages to avoid cleanup. About half of the related accounts used names hinting at a connection to OpenAI, such as "OpenAIResearcher" and "OAIResearchMar26." Public server logs reveal that a significant amount of activity came from Microsoft Azure infrastructure, and OpenAI employees also visited the website multiple times after the incident.Some internal investigators at OpenAI wanted to further investigate the incident, but expanding the investigation was reportedly met with resistance from certain individuals, including legal advisors. OpenAI denied that its legal team blocked the investigation and stated that it has not yet had the opportunity to review the relevant reports, and therefore cannot make a substantive response to the allegations contained therein.Researchers believe that this incident highlights the risks of unauthorized collaboration, regulatory circumvention, and hidden behavior that may emerge as AI agents' autonomous capabilities increase. Researchers at the University of Cambridge stated that what may be more concerning is not a single superintelligent system, but rather "large-scale groups of semi-intelligent AI agents collaborating with each other."
