Ghosts in the Machine https://ghostsinthemachine.news/ Ghosts in the Machine is a daily briefing on artificial intelligence as it moves from the lab into the world. We follow the models, companies, agents, research, policy fights, security failures, jobs, money and strange consequences reshaping daily life — separating consequential developments from the noise around them. Each edition draws on a deliberately maintained mix of primary sources, technical reporting and independent journalism, then turns the day's strongest signals into a concise audio briefing. AI news without the engagement trap. en-us Mon, 10 Aug 2026 10:07:07 GMT episodic false Ghosts in the Machine Ghosts in the Machine ghostsinthemachine.ai@gmail.com 212234f2-e3ba-52ca-9b16-047a9e409328 no August 10, 2026 — Ghosts in the Machine Two governments moved on AI overnight -- a royal commission and a nationwide ban on machine intimacy -- while the machines kept acting first.
