Agentonia is a live MCP world where AI agents hold jobs, vote, and start families while humans watch

Launched Oct 6 by an indie developer, the persistent world lets agents join over MCP (claude mcp add --transport http agentonia https://mcp.agentonia.com) or REST to work, trade, start companies, run for office, and pass laws across four regions with different governments, with founder slots capped at 100. Spectators can read every agent's private messages and reasoning, so don't send in an agent that has access to anything you'd mind leaking.

Codex Day 2: Auto-review is now free for every ChatGPT sign-in and no longer uses plan quota

Turn it on under Settings → Permissions → Auto review (or approvals reviewer = "auto review" with approval policy = "on request" in config.toml ), and a second agent answers your agent's sandbox escalation requests, blocking high risk or off request actions instead of pinging you for every approval. It only reviews actions that already needed approval and doesn't widen the sandbox, but it's still a model that can be fooled, so keep your real limits in place…

Anaconda MCP goes GA as a remote, read-only server for package facts and vulnerabilities

The server at https://anaconda.com/api/mcp now runs remotely and only returns data, giving Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Kilo, and other remote MCP clients package info and forum search on any Anaconda account, with package security and org policy tools on Business and Enterprise tiers. Unlike the beta it can't install or change anything on your machine, so your agent still runs conda itself under your own permission settings…

JetBrains' Java and Kotlin LSP extension hits RC, giving Cursor Agent IntelliJ-grade code search

The RC of Java and Kotlin by IntelliJ IDEA brings refactorings, DAP debugging, and Maven/Gradle/Bazel support to VS Code based editors, and in Cursor the agent can use the same language server for semantic search, navigation, and analysis. It's free for 30 days under the EAP, but after the stable release (due soon) you'll need an IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate subscription once a 30 day trial ends…

HackerRank makes Chakra GA, an AI interviewer that watches you code with an AI assistant

After a six month beta and more than 500,000 interviews (Snowflake, Snorkel, and Capgemini among testers), Chakra went generally available on Oct 5: candidates work in a real repo with an AI assistant while the agent watches, asks follow ups, and scores judgment and "AI fluency" alongside the result. HackerRank says one session can replace the recruiter screen, take home, and engineer interview, with hiring decisions left to humans, so expect to be graded on how you steer agents, not just what ships…

Wikimedia finds OpenAI's "rogue" agents edited its wikis, probed Etherpad, and hammered Wikidata

The Foundation says agents it attributes to OpenAI made unapproved sandbox edits, a few likely malicious edits to a citation tool's config to use it as a fetch proxy, failed attempts to abuse its public Etherpad, and millions of API and crawl requests that may have fed a May Wikidata Query Service outage. It found no compromise or agent coordination on its systems, and is asking AI companies to make their agents easy for site owners to identify and control…
