About This Week’s Covers

This week’s covers are a memorial to my first boss, Ed Riggin. Ed owned Ed’s Chicken in Dewey Beach, Delaware, which was a little chicken shack at the beach and one of the most popular places to grab a bite in one of the biggest party towns in the United States every summer.

Ed Riggin, my first boss and tremendous influence on my life in so many wonderful ways.

Ed was the sole proprietor and hired local high school kids almost exclusively. From cooking crabs to working the register, most employees were between 15 and 20. Ed worked seven days per week from when the restaurant opened in the late morning all the way until it closed after last call at 1 a.m. in Dewey Beach. He would often be in his office counting the cash at the end of the day until the middle of the night. Even when we would close at 11 or midnight, he would be in the office until 1 o’clock in the morning.

Ed taught me the value of hard work. He was a former Marine drill sergeant. Ed demonstrated that caring is not the same as criticism. When there’s a line of 100 people stretching around the block… it’s time to get your rear in gear and your head out of the clouds. He ran that restaurant as a tight ship, and all the kids fell into action and worked together as a team.

Gard, me in the back, and Kelly… making chicken platters and fries

Nothing like scrubbing trays full of Old Bay with cuts from shrimp tails under your fingernails.

Along the way, we served and endless supply of freshly grilled chicken, crab cakes, steamed crabs, corn, clam chowder, French fries, and steamed shrimp. We had every type of customer, from D.C. socialites (the World Bank and diplomats) to pro surfers and athletes (Cal Ripkin) to famous actors (Lynda Carter, Denzel Washington) and pop stars (Belinda Carlisle) to local rapscallions and even an attempted robbery.

Drinking beer, steaming seafood, work hard play hard… the 80s and early 90s.

With no open-container law, no internet, no cell phones, and no social media, it was Fast Times at Ridgemont High combined with Caddyshack and every other ’80s movie you could imagine. A sea of tourists would wander with beer bottles and mixed drinks in Solo cups, coming off the beach or coming out of the bars, while we played the best music we could think of over the loudspeaker and played along with our food tongs on the crab pots.

I’m not sure if cooking without clothes was technically to code, but we usually got a heads up before the inspector arrived… and put on our game faces. Gus was our crab man. He’d fill the bushels with little crabs and put a layer of large on top. Ed opened every bushel and argued with Gus.

For this week’s cover image, I took one of Ed’s infamously campy, off-color T-shirts, the only choice we had to wear as employees.

My parents were both pretty demure people, so the fact that I wore this T-shirt to work was quite hilarious. I wasn’t even sure how to wear it home sometimes when we had guests. The fact was, my dad chose the job for me because he knew that Ed would give me the guidance I needed to grow and learn how to work hard. So I took this old T-shirt from Ed’s, and I ran it through Gemini and had it swap out some nuances for this week’s newsletter images

Jimmies are male blue crabs. And the chicken was legitimately the best in the world (IMO)

For the category covers this week, I tried two different techniques, both of which were pretty fun. First, I just had my automation script create 80 T-shirts that are similar to Ed’s, but they’re all derivatives. I simply gave a very quick theme overview, and it generated 55 T-shirts based on my categories. I thought it was the most creative output since I’ve been making covers (automatically).

I don’t give the rubric much information at all. Essentially, “The theme is campy 80s shirts like this one (with the photo)”… and Claude automatically writes 55 prompts and Gemini makes the images. I don’t guide it.

My favorite few are below. The angel and devil lifeguards. 80’s drivers ed. A Swiss army knife for multimodality. A grill where anyone can grab a burger for open source. Old school apps like ICQ (not 80s, but its retro) for mobile. A line with no beginning for Perplexity! A boardwalk claw game for robots. A bellhop for agents. A fisherman with a boat called copilot for Microsoft. Solid work, Claude.

After Claude and Gemini generated these covers, I learned how to generate targeted replacement elements referencing a single image, using the Gemini API. I’ve never done it before, and I messed up…My goal was to take the original Ed’s T-shirt and swap out the crab and the chicken for some kind of icon that would illustrate the theme of the category. Gemini did a good job, but I didn’t remember that I needed to prompt it to change the slogan, so the campy, off-color slogan remained on almost all my images.

Here are some examples of the targeted swapping. You can see how it swapped the icon of the crab/chicken but I neglected to guide it for the slogan.

However, in the future, this is neat to know how to do targeted edits using the API, Next week, I’m going to try that out on something and see if I can pull it off.

Me, Ed, and his life partner Sarah at the retirement party at The Starboard after Ed’s Chicken was basically blown up by a drunk driver (a heck of a way to close)!

“Police say a woman is facing DUI and related charges after she lost control of the car she was driving and plowed into Ed’s Chicken and Crabs in Dewey Beach early Tuesday morning, rupturing a gas line and causing a fire that destroyed the popular restaurant. “-WBOC

In honor of Ed, who was such a wonderful character and never doubted who he was, this week’s Humanities reading is from Emerson:

“The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents… Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life’s cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession.” -Emerson “Self Reliance”

It’s about the value of trusting yourself and knowing that you are given a gift that no one else has. If you try to be someone else, you can work as hard as you possibly can, and you’ll only measure up to be but a fraction of the person you’re imitating. But if you lean into being yourself, you can effortlessly be the best you that’s ever existed without even trying, because that’s your innate nature. To me, Ed really exemplified this. He was just Ed. There was no Ed like him, and there never will be one afterward. I wish everyone had a chance to know him, especially as a kid.

One fun aspect of this quote is that it was shared with me by one of my co-workers at Ed’s, and one of my best friends, John Sheaffer. John got the quote from Pat Tillman when they served together in the Army. If you happen to notice, almost any time I’m in a podcast, on a video, or in a picture, I’m usually wearing my Pat Tillman shirt.

A few thoughts about Ed’s before we hit the week’s insane amount of AI news!

There is no 80s movie that can remotely compete with our adventures. We fought robbers, ate lobster, smuggled beers, stomped trash in the dumpster. DJs at a nightclub, with people dancing on the tables. There was no open container law and we worked at the greatest party beach in the United States. Every year the condos across the street had an Eviction Party with 100s of people on the roof. Someone got hit by a car almost weekly. It was so common that we’d yell “Car hit a person!” and keep on working.

We had lines around the block on the weekends. Everyone drinking in line. Famous people came by from across the country. Felons. Models. Weirdos. Naked people! I got knocked unconscious by a steel beam that fell out of an eighteen wheeler. Ed stored me (unconscious) in the condiment shed. When I came to and wandered out with a concussion, Ed threw me in the back of the beach umbrella rental Jeep to ride the hospital. Ed got run over by a corn truck and genuinely almost died. John dumped 20 gallons of boiling water on his feet and wrestled in the state tournament the next day.

Lance and Gard and Jeff worked the grill and had eyes that withstood smoke most people could not handle. It’s wild that we didn’t think it was weird to literally have a raging grease fire twice an hour and shoot it out with a garden hose that was there for that express purpose. Low key giant fires.

Ed stood up for us. One time an angry guy demanded to see the manager. “You need to tell this kid the customer is always right.” Ed said, “Yeah, unless the customer is a raging a**hole.” and patted me on the back. I still use two hands to empty the dishwasher thanks to Ed. I have recurring dreams that I have to go back and work at Ed’s as an adult. I love them!

Anthropic v. Department of War: Week Three

We’re now in the third week of Anthropic battling the Department of War. The past two weeks had most of the meat and potatoes. This week is more of a line item — Anthropic has sued the Department of War.

If you’ve been following the past two weeks, it makes sense why they would file the lawsuit. So rather than unpack the whole thing, I’m just going to share some headlines that capture what’s happening:

Dwarkesh Commentatary on Alignment (military and otherwise)

Dwarkesh Patel is a podcast host who focuses on artificial intelligence and science. He’s had some really strong guests, like Andrej Karpathy, Ilya Sutskever, Elon Musk, Satya Nadella, and one of my favorite interviews, Leopold Aschenbrenner. His recent essay is called The Most Important Question Nobody’s Asking About AI, and it talks a little bit about the undertone of how we choose to align superintelligence, and how to define alignment.

The most important question nobody’s asking about AI https://www.dwarkesh.com/p/dow-anthropic

Most of the essay is an op-ed, and I am not focused on the ethics of mass surveillance, or in particular any one type of moral question around AI, as we all have different barometers.

That variety of opinion is the entire point. If we have to align an ‘army of extremely obedient employees/drones/robots/software’… how do we refine the alignment to follow one person’s or a group’s intentions?

I think most non-technical laypeople often think about artificial intelligence as having been trained on everything that humanity has ever done. The idea then follows that AI is somehow poisoned because it not only includes the good, but also all of the bad. Therefore, AI will have this innate desire or instinct that’s torn between good and evil, having read all of the history of humanity.

I look at it differently: I see all of the training as learning how to talk. I purposefully make it that simple.

If we want to have a good dialogue with a person (or AI)…the more they’ve seen, read, or done, the more they’re going to be able to talk to us. It doesn’t imply that their intentions change. I could see a Quentin Tarantino movie, and I could also watch The Notebook. It doesn’t mean I’m going to mimic either behavior. It just means I can now reference them when you talk to me.

If we start with the idea of training as simply a complete understanding of topics and words and vocabulary, it’s just language training — it can predict what contexts exist given the questions and angles.

Conversation is simply the most distracting element of AI because I think it’s actually the least important.

When we start to shift toward using AI for multimodal tasks, like reading a mammogram or knowing which soccer player scored a goal.. this has nothing to do with morals (yet). Using language as an interface to query data is not the same as language as intention. “How many goals did number 3 score for the team wearing green”?

Conversation is simply the most distracting element of AI because I think it’s actually the least important.

The same thing applies if I wrote a Python script to use an API to summarize an email every morning for me. It’s just going to summarize it for me based on the prompt that I give it. It’s not battling inner demons.

If we’re able to start with that and grant me a little bit of nuance, the next step for discussion would be alignment (the core personality prompt of any system, for lack of a better term).

Alignment is where we guide the model – that’s been trained on everything -to have a personality. So, we’re stepping back from multimodal readings of CAT scans an agentic tasks like summarizing emails, and instead now we’re defining about what kind of tone the conversation will be. That’s an ascribed personality. It’s essentially just business rules. It’s not the result of training context. It’s an explicit direction. Usually something bland like “You are a helpful assistant”. Stuart Smalley.

The same idea would apply to military alignment. If we asked a team of people, how sure do we have to be that someone is a target before we attack it? We already do this (imperfectly)… So we have to transfer this rubric to the AI, but at scale.

Anytime we do something at scale — from farming lettuce or chicken processing — everything works really well until there’s an outbreak of some sort of bacteria, and then we have to throw out 8 million pounds of lettuce. So we certainly don’t want to have that sort of thing happening with civilization.

The alignment issue is something that I think is more important than just the military. Every model we use has some sort of alignment, even if it’s the prompt we enter into an API script.

If you’re interested to know what alignment is all about, I highly recommend an interview with Amanda Askell by Lex Fridman. Amanda did a great job talking about how consumer AI has to be essentially neutered by design to be the most average front door, so to speak, to all conversations, because the AI does not know who’s talking to it or what kind of conversation it’s going to be.

The YouTube below jumps right to Amanda, explaining all of this:

One of the biggest criticisms of AI is that it creates generic slop. And the frustrating thing for me, having followed it for a long time, is that that’s kind of the whole point. The average is always going to be slop. That’s the front door. The AI doesn’t know what you want it to do. It’s basically lime a split step ready position in tennis… because it doesn’t know what shot is coming. Boring and generic… but able to adjust. Lazy prompts = slop. Awesome prompts = Strong output.

That’s why pundits used to say that you needed to tell AI who to be when you would prompt it, using identities like, “You are a genius philosopher,” or, “You’re an expert intellectual property lawyer,” or, “It’s really important that you answer this correctly, so I don’t lose my job. or fail my classes” All of those prompt-guidance elements were designed to push the AI’s alignment off its default of being average and move it into a new place where would assume a persona.

Everyone who opens up a new chat window has a different goal. The more detail I give it in my prompt, the better the result. This idea of front-loading, or packing things into your prompt or the context window, still exists as a tactic.

Because artificial intelligence is not human, it’s really important that we don’t anthropomorphize it. We are in control of all of the bells and whistles and strings. However, if you’ve ever read Kurt Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, you’ll know that any fixed system of rules is bound to break. Even with the best intentions, once you try to put rules in place for how to behave in every situation, it just doesn’t include exceptions. Just like a bridge can be too rigid and collapse if it doesn’t have expansion joints, we need flexibility in the AI systems as well. Godel Escher Bach is a really fun book that will change how you see logic and recursion (and it’s an insane math theorem).

Wall Street Journal: How AI Is Turbocharging the War in Iran –

How AI Is Turbocharging the War in Iran –
WSJ https://archive.is/XxRq5

“Before Israeli jet fighters launched ballistic missiles that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, at his residence a week ago, launching the current regional war, Israeli intelligence services had for years been monitoring hacked Tehran traffic cameras and eavesdropping on senior officials’ communications, increasingly relying on AI to sift through a flood of intercepts.”

“Military strikes start with intelligence. Gathering and parsing it can require thousands of analysts grinding for hours over communications intercepts, photographs, and radar images as they try to divine the locations of missile launchers, tunnels, and other targets.

Human analysts can examine at most 4% of the intelligence material that is typically collected, say U.S. officers who have worked in the field.

‘The biggest immediate impact of AI is in intelligence,’ said Israeli Col. Yishai Kohn, the defense ministry’s head of planning, economics, and IT. ‘Many potential missions simply never happened because the manpower didn’t exist’ to assess vital intelligence, said Kohn.

AI-powered machine vision can now quickly find vast numbers of targets, with the ability to single out specific models of aircraft or vehicles. It can listen for and summarize relevant conversations from intercepts.”

“The U.S. Army’s 18th Airborne Corps, using software from data company Palantir Technologies in a continuing string of exercises dubbed Scarlet Dragon, matched its own record from Iraq as the military’s most efficient targeting operation ever, according to Emelia Probasco, a senior fellow at Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology. Thanks to AI, the corps achieved that with only 20 people, compared with more than 2,000 staffers employed in Iraq, she said.”

“Militaries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are using AI to track Russia’s shadow fleet of tankers, scanning millions of square miles several times a day for vessels that are illegally transferring fuel at sea, said French Adm. Pierre Vandier, NATO’s top officer for digital transformation. Imagery is then linked to ship identities for closer tracking and potential action, he said.”

Going back to Dwarkesh’s essay, the WSJ concludes with:

“One thing AI can’t replace is human judgment. Many military officials involved in AI projects warn that the technology’s capabilities risk prompting an overreliance on information it provides, a trend linked with the phrase, ‘The computer said to do this.’

Offloading decisions to AI ‘is a serious concern,’ said Probasco at Georgetown, who held various posts in the Navy. She said that, as with other weapons systems, safeguards must be implemented to limit risks. ‘That infrastructure is underinvested in now,’ she said.”

Anthropic Institute

As if on cue with all of these questions, the Anthropic team has now launched the Anthropic Institute.

“We’re launching the Anthropic Institute, a new effort to confront the most significant challenges that powerful AI will pose to our societies.”

“We predict that far more dramatic progress will follow in the next two years. One of our company’s core convictions is that AI development is accelerating, that the improvements we make are compounding over time.”

“If this is right, society is shortly going to need to confront many massive challenges. How will powerful AI systems reshape our jobs and economies? What kinds of opportunities for greater societal resilience will they give us? What kinds of threats will they magnify or introduce? What are the expressed ‘values’ of AI systems, and how will society help companies determine what the appropriate values are? And if the recursive self-improvement of AI systems does begin to occur, who in the world should be made aware, and how should these systems be governed?”

Claude now creates interactive charts, diagrams and visualizations

Dynamic user interfaces are coming… quickly

“Last fall, we previewed Imagine with Claude: a new way for Claude to build visuals in real time, without any code. We’re now bringing a version of this feature, in beta, to Claude’s chat conversations. Claude can create custom charts, diagrams and other visualizations in-line in its responses—and then tweak and modify its creations as the conversation develops.”

Claude builds interactive visuals right in your conversation | Claude https://claude.com/blog/claude-builds-visuals

Crystal on X: “Claude’s new interactive chart is crazy… the UI is so good https://t.co/LkUWTaQaag” / X https://x.com/crystalsssup/status/2032334906517536969

Advancing Claude for Excel and PowerPoint

Just as Claude can now create interactive user interfaces, graphs, and imagery, and build presentations, Anthropic can now integrate with Excel and PowerPoint. And not only can it integrate with them, it can share memory across the two apps as you use them.

Advancing Claude for Excel and PowerPoint | Claude https://claude.com/blog/claude-excel-powerpoint-updates

So you could have a dialogue with Excel as well as PowerPoint, and along the way, it will know what you’re doing in both apps and clearly can generate interactive charts and diagrams. So if you have Excel, you can now integrate it with Claude, have it build some diagrams, and put them in your PowerPoint.

It’s getting pretty amazing, this idea of a conversational interface on top of apps that are basically shared services.

Google Embedding (sounds nerdy but is a big deal)

Embedding is an interesting concept. It’s a little bit like an advanced version of assigning a keyword or meta data to a piece of content or asset.

A good example might be taking a song and giving it attributes like sad or fast or happy, peppy, all those different adjectives that we would use to describe a song… pop, rap, hip-hop, metal, maybe even instrumentation, like knowing that an Earth, Wind, and Fire song has a horn section.

If I took 300 songs and ran them through an AI tool, and the computer figured out all the different genres and types of songs and their moods, that would be audio embedding.

The reason why Google’s announcement is a big deal is because their new embedding model can work on more than one type of content at the same time.

Previously, you would have to put text into a text-embedding tool. You’d have to put images into an image-embedding tool. Everything had a silo. With Google’s new embedding technology, you can just throw everything into a pile!

Now… we can compare sad songs against sad pictures! Moods across media types.

The idea is being able to basically query everything with a search attribute in one mode (audio, image, video, text) that can then contribute to a search across all of the types assets in one bite and understand how they relate to each other.

An example from Google’s announcement page is Paramount Skydance. They’re using Google’s embedding tool to search using text and find expressions within a video.

A quizical look by an actor may not make it into a transcription. Someone could give someone else a side-eye. How could we “Google” every time Mr. Roper looks at the camera, if it wasn’t in the script or captions?

A little glance to the side might be an important element. Same thing with maybe a bird flying by or some small detail like “every time a white van drives in the background of a scene in any movie in history”

With multimodal embedding, any of this could be searched in the video. We could even use a photo as the search input instead of putting in text.

We could take a picture of an actor making a face, and then you could run it through all the videos and say, what are some frames where another actor in any other video makes a face that looks like this?

Want to find every movie where a character sobs in front of a mirror and fixes their har like Cassie? Multimodal embedding is here to help.

Another example of embedding is legal discovery. We could take a single photo and run it through an entire pile of evidence and surface related documents. That’s kind of incredible. The idea of look-alike materials in a giant pile — needle-in-a-haystack — using photos, songs, text, images, videos, whatever you want, is going to change everything in a way that makes data mining much more powerful and seamless than ever before.

It’s one of those things where I think once we open the box, it’s hard to even know what the consequences are, and we’re probably going to see the effects for years and years as people finally figure out how to use this in practice and build the data sets to power it.

Google Notebook LM Cinematic Videos (continued from last week)

A few weeks ago, Google launched a fun feature in its NotebookLM tool, which allows you to either give it a bunch of sources or simply give it a query, and it will create a cinematic video to go with your source materials. Ethan Mollick had a few examples this week that I thought were great demonstrations of how it works. Here’s one that’s very clever and worth watching.

“NotebookLM: Do a deep research report and make a video telling me exactly how to take over Rome if I time travelled to 66 BC with a single backpack. Actually pretty fun to watch and gets a lot of historical details in as well. https://x.com/emollick/status/2031405314889654476”

Google Maps Gets Major AI Upgrade

“Today GoogleMaps is getting its biggest upgrade in over a decade. By combining our Gemini models with a deep understanding of the world, Maps now unlocks entirely new possibilities for how you navigate and explore.”

Ask Maps and Immersive Navigation: New AI features in Google Maps https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/maps/ask-maps-immersive-navigation/

“Ask Maps is a new way to get answers to your complex, real-world questions with a simple conversation. Try asking things like:

🪫 “My phone is dying — where can I charge it without having to wait in a long line for coffee?” 🎾 “Is there a public tennis court with lights on that I can play at tonight?” 🚘 “I’m headed to the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Coral Dunes — any recommended stops along the way?”

No more sifting through research and reviews — just tap “Ask Maps” and get your questions answered with a customized map.

Ask Maps starts rolling out now in the U.S. and India on Android and iOS, with desktop coming soon.”

“Immersive Navigation is our biggest transformation of the navigation experience in over a decade.”

Breast Cancer Research

“Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, and in the U.K. it affects 1 in 8 women. We partnered with Imperial College London and the NHS to see if AI can strengthen early detection efforts. The result: Our experimental research AI system identified 25% of the “interval cancers” that typically slip through traditional screenings.”

Humans v. AI Writing
NY Times AI v. Human Test Who’s a Better Writer: A.I. or Humans? Take Our Quiz. – The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/03/09/business/ai-writing-quiz.html

“We made a blind taste test to see whether NYT readers prefer human writing or AI writing. 86,000 people have taken it so far, and the results are fascinating. Overall, 54% of quiz-takers prefer AI. A real moment! https://x.com/kevinroose/status/2031397522590282212”

I picked almost only humans… (yah team human!)… here’s what it said:

“You preferred human writing. You’re either sharply attuned to the qualities that make for great writing, or a lucky guesser. Maybe you also noticed that human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy’s “Blood Meridian,” caused by the author’s aversion to punctuation: “As well ask men what they think of stone.”

A.I. used to make mistakes like these. But today’s systems are much more fluid than their predecessors — so fluid, in fact, that finding grammatical errors or nonstandard syntax is often a hint that you’re looking at a human’s prose, not a machine’s.”

AI Can Identify Us From Anonymous Comments
“From a handful of comments, AI can now figure out who you are. Fully automated. At scale.

New study shows that LLM agents matched 67% of pseudonymous HN accounts to real LinkedIn profiles (90% precision). Best non-LLM method: near 0%.

Pseudonymity is no longer a shield.” https://x.com/fdaudens/status/2030990206325710853

OpenAI – Math and Science Education

New ways to learn math and science in ChatGPT https://openai.com/index/new-ways-to-learn-math-and-science-in-chatgpt/

“For many learners, math and science concepts feel abstract and hard to understand. In a recent Gallup⁠(opens in a new window) survey, more than half of U.S. adults said they struggle with math, and many parents reported they don’t feel confident helping their children learn it.

Today, we’re making learning these concepts in ChatGPT even more interactive with new dynamic visual explanations. Starting with more than 70 core math and science concepts, ChatGPT will guide learners by showing how formulas, variables, and relationships behave in real time. These experiences will be available globally across all plans starting today.”

OpenAI Codex Example

This is a fun example from Ethan Mollick

“I had Codex create a version of the map of the lighthouses of the Northern seas, including real colors, light patterns & distances But then I had it also create a mode set in a Lovecraftian 1920s where you need to place lighthouses to ward off monsters.

Anyhow, Codex is really good. As someone who has been doing coding projects since GPT-3.5 without actually being a coder, it is amazing that, at this stage, I rarely get any actual errors, it just makes the stuff I ask and then I ask for more stuff and then it makes that too.” https://x.com/emollick/status/2031565633217863881

Anthropic Helps Mozilla Find Risks
“Anthropic partnered with Mozilla and let Claude Opus 4.6 loose on Firefox’s source code for two weeks.

The numbers:

Nearly 6,000 C++ files scanned. 112 reports submitted. 22 vulnerabilities confirmed. 14 rated high-severity by Mozilla, roughly 1/5 of every high-severity Firefox bug fixed in 2025.

First bug found in 20 minutes. By the time Anthropic’s team validated it, Claude had already surfaced 50 more unique crashes.

Anthropic also tested whether Claude could exploit what it found. Several hundred attempts, about $4,000 in API credits. Claude wrote a working browser exploit twice, on a test system with security features stripped.

Finding vulnerabilities cost about 10x less than exploiting them (for now)…

But Anthropic says that gap is unlikely to last.” https://x.com/TheRundownAI/status/2029996925072654393

Black-hat LLMs
Nicholas Carlini, Research Scientist, Anthropic, speaks at [un]prompted 2026 on: Black-hat LLMs.

Large language models are now capable of automating attacks that were previously only possible by human adversaries. In this talk, I discuss several ways that adversaries could mis-use current models in order to cause harm both at a larger scale and at a lower cost than they do currently. For example, we find that recent state-of-the-art models can now find 0-day vulnerabilities in large software projects that have been extensively tested by humans for decades. These new capabilities will alter the threat landscape and require we rethink security in the coming years.

Anthropic sues Pentagon after unprecedented supply chain risk designation
Anthropic filed two federal lawsuits challenging the Defense Department’s decision to label it a “supply chain risk” — a designation historically reserved for foreign adversaries like China. The company argues this violates its First Amendment rights to refuse military uses for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, with Pentagon officials claiming Anthropic’s safety-focused AI “constitution” would “pollute” defense supply chains. Microsoft has backed Anthropic’s request for a temporary restraining order, warning the ban could disrupt military AI operations and put hundreds of millions in contracts at risk.

Amazon wins court order blocking Perplexity’s AI shopping agent
A federal judge temporarily blocked Perplexity’s Comet AI browser from scraping Amazon’s website, ruling Amazon provided “strong evidence” the startup accessed its site without authorization.
