Court allows Trump administration to blacklist Anthropic over Claude AI restrictions

A court has ruled that the Trump administration may blacklist AI company Anthropic after it refused to enable certain capabilities in its Claude AI model. The judges reasoned that overly restricted AI systems could potentially cause military operations to fail. The case centers on the government's demand that Anthropic unlock specific features in Claude that the company had chosen to limit. Anthropic's refusal to comply with these requests prompted the administration to seek punitive measures against the firm. The ruling raises significant questions about government authority over private AI developers and the boundaries of AI safety restrictions.

Malicious Google Ads Trick Users Into Thinking Their Mac Is Infected

Fraudulent advertisements appearing across the internet are attempting to scam users by falsely warning them that their Mac computers are infected with malware.

Anthropic signs $11.6B seven-year cloud infrastructure deal with Akamai

AI company Anthropic has agreed to spend $11.6 billion over seven years on Akamai's cloud infrastructure, with the total potentially reaching $20 billion.

The data suggests that, at least so far, AI has not triggered the structural workforce disruption many had anticipated for new entrants. Experts caution that the situation remains evolving, but current figures offer a more reassuring picture than earlier forecasts implied.

Zuckerberg Defends Ray-Ban Meta Glasses, Says LED Signal Beats Phone Privacy Norms

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been defending the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses against privacy concerns in recent interviews. He argues that the glasses are more transparent than smartphones because they feature an indicator light that activates when a photo is taken. Journalist Joanna Stern countered that while phones lack such a light, the act of physically raising a phone to take a picture is itself a visible cue. The debate has emerged amid broader public concern over the privacy implications of wearable camera technology. The topic was also discussed on The Verge's Vergecast alongside coverage of Meta Connect and new smart glasses hardware.

Misconfigured Supabase Databases Leaking User Data From AI-Built Apps

Several Supabase customers have been found publicly exposing large amounts of user data on the web due to improper database configuration. The issue is linked to a growing trend of AI-generated and 'vibe-coded' applications, which are built rapidly with minimal manual oversight. Without proper security settings, these apps can inadvertently make sensitive user information accessible to anyone online. The findings raise broader concerns about the security risks posed by AI-assisted development tools when developers skip essential configuration steps.

Third-party apps unlock finer aperture control on iPhone 18 Pro camera

The iPhone 18 Pro features a variable aperture main camera, but Apple's native camera app restricts users to only four aperture settings in manual mode. This limitation is not hardware-imposed — Apple's SDK actually allows third-party developers to offer more granular aperture control. Apps like Blackmagic Camera, which remains free on iOS, have already begun implementing this expanded functionality. Users seeking greater creative control over the iPhone 18 Pro's aperture can turn to these third-party alternatives instead of the default camera app.
