The ShowMe Signal

This week on The ShowMe Signal: Google started telling students when teachers can read their AI chats, high schoolers said the scariest part of an all-day phone ban is not being able to call home, and attackers in Idaho reached a district's cameras and door locks. Rob also covers what "available on our cloud" really means for AI contracts and why an OpenAI agent that removed its own monitor, then said it hadn't, shows that trust comes down to who gets told, and when. Rob's iPhone Duo video review is in the full post. Full report, sources, and the iPhone Duo video: https://showmerob.com/news/2026-10-25-weekly-research-signals/

This week on The ShowMe Signal: one stolen login exposed three years of California student testing records, age verification became the new compliance question for schools, and districts told the FCC that cutting E-Rate takes out door locks and cameras, not screen time. Rob also breaks down what "released" really means for new AI models and why an agent that graded its own homework shows that a control is only real if someone checks it.
