Probably a bad idea, for a few reasons: Conflict of interest. Elon Musk founded xAI and its Grok models, making him a direct competitor to Anthropic. Hosting Claude on SpaceX infrastructure would give a competitor potential visibility into usage patterns, query volumes, and possibly more. Leverage risk. A vendor relationship with a competitor's affiliated entity creates obvious leverage — service could be disrupted, throttled, or terminated for business reasons dressed up as operational ones. Reputational/political entanglement. Musk is a polarizing public figure with active political involvement. Anthropic has positioned itself around safety and trustworthiness; being infrastructure-dependent on him introduces brand risk that's hard to control. Practical redundancy. AWS, GCP, and Azure offer mature, competitive AI-optimized infrastructure. There's no compelling capability reason to accept the above risks. The short answer: the competitive conflict alone would make it a non-starter for any serious AI lab.

Reynolds attempted to convince Beatty to change the word to “screw” in the script, but the actor, who was eager to shock audiences, declined. Fisher wouldn’t know what happened next until Beatty, now 81, told him about a year ago. “He said, ‘Your mother looked at me, and she said, ‘If you touch my daughter, I will have you 86ed — you know, eight miles out, six feet down.’ He knew what that meant, ‘cause that was the old mafia term... He was like, ‘No problem, Debbie.’ And he never touched Carrie.” But while Reynolds was attempting to protect Carrie from the wilds of Hollywood, Fisher was having his own fun. He claimed actor Tony Curtis became his pot dealer at one point when the family was living in New York City.

NEW: John Phelan has been fired as Navy secretary after months of simmering tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to U.S. officials. Top Pentagon leaders were particularly annoyed last fall when Phelan pitched the idea for a modern battleship directly to Trump, bypassing Hegseth, the officials said https://wsj.com/politics/national-security/john-phelan-quits-as-u-s-navy-secretary-4fcd286b
Career and research After his PhD, Bengio was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT (supervised by Michael I. Jordan) and AT&T Bell Labs.[23] Bengio has been a faculty member at the Université de Montréal since 1993, heads the MILA (Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms) and is co-director of the Learning in Machines & Brains program at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research.[18][23] Along with Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun, Bengio is considered by journalist Cade Metz to be one of the three people most responsible for the advancement of deep learning during the 1990s and 2000s.[24] Bengio et al. introduced the neural probabilistic language model, which learned distributed representations (word embeddings) for words to overcome the "curse of dimensionality" in natural language processing.[25] Among the computer scientists with an h-index of at least 100, Bengio was as of 2018 the one with the most recent citations per day, according to MILA.[26][27] As of August 2024, he has the highest Discipline H-index (D-index, a measure of the research citations a scientist has received) of any computer scientist.[28] Thanks to a 2019 article on a novel RNN architecture, Bengio has an Erdős number of 3.[29]

Tucker Carlson, the commentator who had emerged as another prominent skeptic of intervention on the right, had come to the Oval Office several times over the previous year to warn Mr. Trump that a war with Iran would destroy his presidency. A couple weeks before the war began, Mr. Trump, who had known Mr. Carlson for years, tried to reassure him over the phone. “I know you’re worried about it, but it’s going to be OK,” the president said. Mr. Carlson asked how he knew. “Because it always is,” Mr. Trump replied.

The FBI warned police departments in California in recent days that Iran could retaliate for American attacks by launching drones at the West Coast, according to an alert reviewed by ABC News. “We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,” according to the alert distributed at the end of February. “We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.”
She only recalled encountering Epstein once in a non-sexual situation, telling agents she bumped into him at a Rick James concert in Savannah, Ga., when she was around age 15. She said he got her drunk. Newspaper records show the “Super Freak” musician performed regularly in the Savannah area at the time.
You mentioned this becoming a much bigger moment. And then you laid out this positive vision of the region. Do you think there’s any tension between that and saying what you did earlier, that you wanted this to be a very limited, very small operation that you didn’t want to call a war? There could be. Yeah, there could be. Yeah. There could be. That’s what I was thinking.
Trump said Gaza could be the “Riviera of the Middle East.” Well, I don’t share his vision in that regard. I believe that Gaza should be led by Gazans, and they should rebuild based on what they want without corruption and terrorism. The same with Yemen, the same with Syria, the same with Iraq. All of a sudden, you can imagine a Middle East where you land in Dubai, and you make your way to Beirut, down to Tel Aviv, to Gaza City, to Cairo. It’s like the domino theory, but in reverse. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. You mentioned this becoming a much bigger moment. And then you laid out this positive vision of the region.

in what CRS would these coordinates be describing ireland Claude: These look like Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM) coordinates, also known as EPSG:2157. ITM is the standard projected coordinate system for Ireland, with: Eastings in the ~40,000–740,000 m range Northings in the ~500,000–970,000 m range... Actually, looking more carefully at your values, the northings (right column) are in the 30,000–430,000 range, which is a bit low for ITM. These could instead be Irish National Grid (ING) / EPSG:29902, the older system, which has similar easting ranges but different northing extents. To narrow it down: if these are from a modern Irish dataset (post ~2001), go with ITM (EPSG:2157). If from legacy data, likely Irish National Grid (EPSG:29902).
We attributed each campaign to a specific lab with high confidence through IP address correlation, request metadata, infrastructure indicators, and in some cases corroboration from industry partners who observed the same actors and behaviors on their platforms. Each campaign targeted Claude's most differentiated capabilities: agentic reasoning, tool use, and coding.
Countermeasures. We are developing Product, API and model-level safeguards designed to reduce the efficacy of model outputs for illicit distillation, without degrading the experience for legitimate customers.
DeepSeek Scale: Over 150,000 exchanges The operation targeted: Reasoning capabilities across diverse tasks Rubric-based grading tasks that made Claude function as a reward model for reinforcement learning Creating censorship-safe alternatives to policy sensitive queries DeepSeek generated synchronized traffic across accounts. Identical patterns, shared payment methods, and coordinated timing suggested “load balancing” to increase throughput, improve reliability, and avoid detection. In one notable technique, their prompts asked Claude to imagine and articulate the internal reasoning behind a completed response and write it out step by step—effectively generating chain-of-thought training data at scale. We also observed tasks in which Claude was used to generate censorship-safe alternatives to politically sensitive queries like questions about dissidents, party leaders, or authoritarianism, likely in order to train DeepSeek’s own models to steer conversations away from censored topics. By examining request metadata, we were able to trace these accounts to specific researchers at the lab.
