Anthropic's pre-IPO shares fall as U.S. government shuts down its most powerful AI model A jailbreak report prompted Washington to pull Fable 5 and Mythos 5 from all users.

Gemini summary: The term "Hamster Factor" relates to director Terry Gilliam and his infamous focus on tiny, insignificant details on set.It specifically stems from the making of his 1995 sci-fi film Twelve Monkeys. During one shot featuring actor Bruce Willis, a live hamster was placed in a wheel in the background as set decoration. However, because the hamster refused to run on cue, the production was halted, and a minor background detail took an entire day to film.
The war on Iran has been costly for the US, with the Pentagon estimating in May that $29bn had been spent so far. Some analysts consider this an undercount, though. In April, a public finance expert at Harvard University projected that the price tag could soar to more than $1 trillion.

American AI is the backbone of the global economy, driving new economic and scientific dynamism. The Trump administration's efforts to drive domestic AI adoption and promote the export of American AI are succeeding, and the resulting gains from the adoption of powerful AI both at home and abroad are driving unprecedented economic growth and technological advancements. Global adoption of US AI has skyrocketed. Democracies’ lead in capabilities and compute means that China’s AI firms do not compete for global market share outside of a narrow group of autocracies. The world’s top frontier AI systems are shaped by democratic values and make it more difficult for authoritarian states to use AI systems to infringe on rights and civil liberties.

Dalli Dalli, German gameshow by Hans Rosenthal. That guy survived the Nazis hiding in Berlin. Must have been weird to be the TV funny guy for these people later. So, not sure which version would have been more surreal.

The downsides of AI are real: misuse, malfunction, the temptation to replace people instead of teaching them new skills. It’s easy to understand why some people would prefer that AI just go away; no one is in the market for another existential risk. But here’s the thing about defensive crouches: They don’t actually stop anything. They just ensure that you get whacked in the back of the head. The people in the AI counterculture have figured out that the only effective response to a transformative technology is not to hide from it but to get your hands dirty and make it work to preserve and improve the things you care about. That’s not naive optimism—it’s enlightened self-interest.

“This is a crisis of the Trump Administration’s own making: They slashed the staffing and funding for civilian harm mitigation, and now they can’t adequately follow the law and implement the CHMR-AP, leaving civilians and our own military personnel at risk,” Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-Calif., a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the co-chair of the Protection of Civilians in Conflict Caucus, told The Intercept. “The Inspector General’s report is clear about what that means: wasted munitions, failed strikes, damaged alliances, and propaganda wins for our adversaries. The Trump Administration needs to reverse course immediately so we can save lives and protect our national security.”

Trump is now in a bind. The president, five aides and outside advisers told me, is convinced that he can sell any sort of agreement as a win. But at least for now, the man who wrote The Art of the Deal can’t even get Iran to the negotiating table.

Draw an extremely simplistic cartoon that illustrates the lyrics 'the baby on the bus goes round and round'. It should be like drawn by a small child with crayons, while having a minor epileptic seizure. and it should be brutally chaotic! don't include any text, small children cannot write. people looking at the picture should have a 'what the hell!' gut reaction when first looking at it.
