OpenAI's Codex now encrypts instructions between AI agents, leaving developers blind to internal delegation

Since early June, OpenAI's Codex has begun encrypting the instructions passed from a main agent to its subagents. Developers can no longer track how tasks are delegated internally, complicating the development process. This encryption is mandatory for the larger GPT-5.6 variants, such as Sol and Terra, indicating a significant shift in how instructions are managed among agents. This change may impact transparency in development workflows.

Meta employees sue over layoffs they say were driven by discriminatory AI selection systems

Former and current Meta employees have filed a lawsuit against the company in a California federal court, alleging that Meta used internal AI systems to generate layoff lists. The company laid off 8,000 workers, disproportionately targeting employees with disabilities or those on parental leave. This lawsuit arises amid growing concerns about the use of AI in employment decisions, particularly regarding layoffs. The plaintiffs argue that Meta failed to follow appropriate procedures to ensure that vulnerable employees were not discriminated against.
