What if Trump was right? (Okay, forget I asked that.)
Federal agencies skirt Trump’s Anthropic ban to test its advanced AI model
Federal agencies and government officials are quietly sidestepping President Donald Trump’s ban on working with artificial intelligence startup Anthropic, as intrigue and anxiety around the company’s powerful new AI model continues to grow.
The highly sophisticated new model unveiled last week has impressed — and worried — researchers because of its ability to unearth critical software flaws that even the brightest human minds have been unable to identify.
In recent days, staff from at least two large federal agencies have reached out to Anthropic to express interest in integrating Claude Mythos into their cyber defense efforts, according to a former senior U.S. technology official with direct knowledge of the discussions.

AI hallucinations cost lawyers $110,000 in Oregon vineyard lawsuit
A federal judge in Oregon squashed a vineyard lawsuit after determining that two lawyers’ AI-assisted court filings were replete with citations from non-existent cases — and one lawyer had attempted a “cover-up” when the bogus material was uncovered.
… Clarke ordered the woman’s lawsuit dismissed with prejudice — meaning it can’t be refiled — ruling that an artificial intelligence tool had once again led human minds astray.
… The six-figure hammerblow for A.I. errors is the largest ever imposed by an Oregon federal judge. By comparison, the state’s appellate court’s largest fine topped out at $10,000.
“In the quickly expanding universe of cases involving sanctions for the misuse of artificial intelligence, this case is a notorious outlier in both degree and volume,” Clarke wrote in a Dec. 12 opinion. “Plaintiffs and their counsel have not been adequately forthcoming, candid or apologetic about their conduct.”
… The judge ordered Brigandi to pay $80,000 of the other side’s attorneys’ fees, plus $15,000 in fines for 15 references to made-up cases and eight fabricated citations.
For the hard core rockers…

Now Online: a Treasure Trove of 1000s of Secret Concert Recordings
Kottke: “For decades, a guy named Aadam Jacobs has been recording live music shows. His collection of over 10,000 shows since 1984 feature the likes of Nirvana, R.E.M., The Pixies, Björk, Depeche Mode, Liz Phair, Sonic Youth, The Cure, Phish, Fugazi, and so many more. With the help of archivists, the entire collection is making its way onto The Internet Archive.
The growing Aadam Jacobs Collection is an internet treasure trove for music lovers, especially for fans of indie and punk rock during the 1980s through the early 2000s, when the scene blossomed and became mainstream. The collection features early-in-their-career performances from alternative and experimental artists like R.E.M., The Cure, The Pixies, The Replacements, Depeche Mode, Stereolab, Sonic Youth and Björk.
There’s also a smattering of hip-hop, including a 1988 concert by rap pioneers Boogie Down Productions. Devotees of Phish were thrilled to discover that a previously uncirculated 1990 show by the jam band is included. And there are hundreds of sets by smaller artists who are unlikely to be known to even fans with the most obscure tastes.
All of it is slowly becoming available for streaming and free download at the nonprofit online repository Internet Archive, including that nascent Nirvana show recording, with the audio from Jacobs’ cassette recorder cleaned up.
Some of the shows, like this pre-Dave Grohl one from Nirvana, were recorded before the bands hit it big. It’s wild to hear their performance of About a Girl get about three claps from the audience…”
Modern war. (Reads like an ad for the latest SUV...)
Ukrainian robots capture enemy position without troops in historic first, Zelenskyy says
Ukrainian robots have taken an enemy position alone “for the first time in the history of this war”, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced.
Zelenskyy stated on Monday that an enemy position was taken over “without infantry and without losses on our side” through the use of both aerial drones and unmanned ground systems.
“The future is already on the front line – and Ukraine is building it,” Zelenskyy said.
