OpenAI just swooped in and agreed to a contract with DOD… with the exact same terms DOD was protesting with Anthropic. The mess only piles higher: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

The Trump administration has suspended federal agencies’ access to Anthropic, @matteowong.bsky.social reports, in an escalation that signals a potentially seismic shift in relations between Silicon Valley and the federal government.

NEW: Documents viewed by @michaelscherer.bsky.social and @kait.bsky.social give a candid look at how Meta approaches the issue of child safety. For years, it dragged its feet on features that would help prevent groomers from targeting kids, explicitly prioritizing growth and engagement instead.

Del Bigtree, who has been a close adviser to RFK Jr, is "more than anti-vaccine: He’s pro-infection."

Did you "train a human" today?

Essential essay from @cwarzel.bsky.social: "Nihilism is now the lingua franca of the internet."

RFK Jr. has talked up the promise of infusing his department with AI for months—but the full extent of his AI push is just now becoming clear, Matteo Wong and Nicholas Florko write:

Nobody can readily discern irony from sincerity anymore in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and perhaps anywhere. As for The March for Billionaires? Well, you had to be there...

Moltbook is weird and fascinating and scary. It's also a signal about the present-day internet as much, if not more than, a glimpse into its future

"One student came up to me after the first flash essay, a little frustrated and worried that he wasn’t meeting the mark. He felt like he was writing into the complete unknown, rather than with a plan in mind. I said that was exactly the point."

Artificial general intelligence was supposed to have been imminent—but “the broad agreement on what AGI even is and the immediate value it could provide humanity have been scrubbed away,” @matteowong.bsky.social reports:

What does Anthropic really stand for? The AI company “comes across as more sincerely committed to safety than its competitors, but it is also moving full speed toward building tools it acknowledges could be horrifically dangerous,” @matteowong.bsky.social reports:

Anthropic wants to be the AI industry's superego, but is caught between the pressures to be safe and fast, rigorous while being commercially successful. I profiled the company and its leadership, who seem earnest but torn, anxious but at times hubristic:

Given the grok horrors of the past few weeks and the crisis of impunity we’ve got on our hands, today’s pod is with the excellent @sophiegilbert.bsky.social on the ways that misogyny has been coded into these platforms and shaped our culture

look at these responses for yourself and see that few people can even be bothered to even respond (one investor rep seemed confused about whether they had actually invested?). they are banking on everyone moving on. cowardice as a crisis comms strategy.

There is a crisis of impunity. The Musk/Grok stuff is just one f many examples of people who are counting on there never being any consequences. And it all makes me just incandescently mad.

Musk and xAI enabled widespread sexual harassment on X.
@cwarzel.bsky.social and I asked xAI's key investors, as well as Google, Apple, Nvidia, and more: Do you endorse the use of Grok to undress people? If not, will you cut ties with xAI? Few replied; none answered our actual questions.
We are not letting this go
If there is no red line around AI-generated sex abuse, then no line exists.
