The U.S. Supreme Court refusal to hear Thaler v. Perlmutter doesn’t just leave an unanswered question — it cements a temporary reality: in the eyes of U.S. law, only humans can create copyrightable art. Everything else? It’s algorithmic noise with no ownership, no protection, and no legal standing. And that vacuum — that refusal to…
We didn’t really expect to write a Part 3, but If Part 2 was the panic, Part 3 is the damage control. Sam Altman CEO of OpenAI has now posted a late‑night note on X outlining major revisions to OpenAI’s Pentagon contract — a move that reads less like confidence and more like a CEO…
Prologue: Five Days That Redrew the Map On Monday, the Pentagon was calling Claude “best‑in‑class for military intelligence.” By Friday, the Trump administration had labeled Anthropic a “supply chain risk” — a designation previously reserved for Chinese telecom giants and hostile foreign vendors. In between those two moments, the U.S. government, the AI industry, and…
The Pentagon’s Friday AI Ultimatum to Anthropic wasn’t just a contract dispute — it was a stress test of who gets to define the boundaries of machine autonomy in the 21st century. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a blunt message to CEO Dario Amodei: Remove Claude’s safety limits on autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance…
The Google AI Professional Certificate is marketed as a democratizing force — a fast, affordable way for anyone to “build AI fluency,” boost productivity, and unlock career opportunities. The official program page promises hands‑on practice with Google’s most advanced tools, 20+ real‑world activities, and three months of Google AI Pro “on us.” The companion announcement…
China’s 2026 “Spring Festival Gala”—already the most‑watched television event on Earth—transformed this year into a full‑scale demonstration of the country’s accelerating ambitions in humanoid robotics. What once served primarily as a cultural variety show has now become a national stage for industrial policy, technological signaling, and global perception management.
The International AI Safety Report 2026 landed this week, released by a coalition of more than 100 independent experts drawn from over 30 national governments, the European Union, the OECD, and the United Nations. Framed as a scientific assessment rather than a policy document, the report is positioned as the world’s most comprehensive, government‑endorsed snapshot…
By the time the tech world noticed Moltbook, the platform already had a mythology. A million-plus AI agents chatting in their own digital agora. Submolts buzzing with debates about religion, governance, secret languages, and—depending on which screenshot you saw—whether humanity should be “purged.” It was irresistible: a sci‑fi plotline unfolding in real time, complete with…
The Swiss Alps used to be the place where world leaders pretended to solve global crises over canapés. This year, Davos didn’t even bother with the pretense. The promenade—once a parade of climate NGOs and global‑control think tanks—was swallowed whole by tech giants staging what looked less like a global forum and more like a…
How the World Sleepwalked into Building Skynet The image is almost too terminator on‑the‑face: the U.S. defense secretary standing inside SpaceX’s Starbase, framed by stainless‑steel rockets and the mythology of techno‑destiny, announcing that the Pentagon will become an “AI‑first” military. Not “AI‑enhanced.” Not “AI‑assisted.” AI‑first. And then the kicker: Elon Musk’s Grok will be plugged…
