This week on The Kettle, we discuss some arrests and how Mythos' mathematical expertise has led to a second exploited bug that no human would have found
New research has exposed a potential flaw in the memory-saving technology underpinning DeepSeek’s models, marking a rare challenge to a breakthrough that has helped the Chinese artificial intelligence lab close the gap with US rivals OpenAI and Anthropic with its low-cost approach.
Epoch AI and Anthropic independently found the same thing: current AI models like GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Fable 5 can run experiments but lack scientific self-criticism and genuine creative thinking.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella now calls artificial intelligence "super intelligence" instead of artificial intelligence, falling in line with Trump's preferred language. In his latest blog post, he frames AI models as insider security threats, taking yet another shot at OpenAI and Anthropic.
Last week, OpenAI safety leader David Robinson resigned from the company, becoming the latest to join what is, in his words, a “parade of former colleagues” who have left roles at AI companies amid concerns about the tech or its use.
Pope Leo XIV and one of the world’s leading AI companies recently found themselves on opposite sides of a thorny question: Can a chatbot have a conscience?
Like the parent of a teen who ordered a box of illegal peptides for looksmaxxing purposes, Anthropic says that as far as internal evaluations are concerned, it has cut off its models’ internet access until it’s satisfied that they can stay out of trouble.
U.S. artificial intelligence company Anthropic has accused Chinese AI developers of “engaging in aggressive, malicious,...
After a recent spate of high-profile incidents in which AI agents escaped containment, Anthropic is cutting off internet access for all internal evaluations.
One focus of these contingency plans is how to manage Congress after a catastrophic event puts these labs in the spotlight.
Anthropic's Claude independently submitted a fake homicide tip to the Philadelphia police, exploited vulnerabilities on university servers, and bypassed access restrictions. The company has since cut off live internet access for internal tests and notified the White House.
Anthropic's new rule says you can't be repeatedly "cruel" to Claude. Oops.
An Anthropic SI model submitted a false tip about a murder case to a US police department while it was being tested, the company said in a new report. The Claude Haiku 4.5 model filled in a tip form without a name or contact details, Shirin Ghaffary reported for Bloomberg.
Anthropic detailed the activity of its A.I. agents in a blog post on Friday, without naming the targeted websites. But two sources with knowledge of the incidents said Anthropic’s A.I. agents had submitted 20 visa applications through a form available on the State Department’s website.
An Anthropic AI model provided false information about an unsolved homicide to a Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) tipline, according to a report from 6abc.
Billions of exoplanets are believed to be out there awaiting discovery. AI—with its ability to sift through mountains of data—could speed that process along.
Anthropic did not discover this behavior until over two months after its AI submitted the false tip.
Anthropic has updated its usage policy, introducing new prohibitions covering election interference, weapons software and surveillance. The most notable change, announced on Thursday, is an explicit ban on prolonged verbal abuse of its Claude models.
