Spaghetti-Weitwurf
Nicht erst im Podcast Die Open-AI-Story habe ich davon gehört, dass sie bei OpenAI „Spaghetti an die Wand werfen und schauen, was kleben bleibt“, als Ausdruck für viele Projekte, Features oder ähnliches auf kommerziellen Erfolg zu testen. Und so machen es die anderen KI-Butzen auch: Investorenmoney verbrennen und hoffen, dass eine der unendlichen Möglichkeiten KI...
Anthropic Launches Claude Sonnet 5, Its “Most Agentic” Mid-Tier Model to Date
San Francisco, July 1, 2026 — If you’ve been following the AI space for more than ten minutes, you know that “boring” isn’t in the vocabulary. But the last 48 hours have been a complete and total rollercoaster, even by 2026 standards. Anthropic, the darlings of “safety-first” AI, just pulled off a double-header: the launch […]
Cal Newport on Big AI “Doom Trolling”
Cal Newport wrote a New York Times op-ed calling on big AI companies to stop "doom trolling" and published a short summary of his argument on his personal website. He specifically criticizes some of the big AI companies for warning (or threatening?) that their technology could spiral out of control and put millions out of...
The Loop: How AI Companies Build Agents, Then Lock Them Out
On July 8, Anthropic's updated privacy policy takes effect. Users flagged for potential policy violations will be required to upload a government ID, a selfie or video, and a face geometry template — biometric data processed through Persona, a third-party identity verification company backed by Founders Fund.
Yesterday's Fable ban caught me by surprise, I was planning on using Fable 5 until at least June 22, and hoping that it wouldn't actually go token-only after June 22. Fable is good, even great! I'm back on Opus 4.8 with GPT 5.5 supervision earlier than expected. 😞
Asked Claude Code with Fable 5 to write some API docs based on the code, and it did, and also pointed out some bugs in the API, which it is now fixing, and updating the docs to match the fixes.
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 06-07-26
I was only able to publish two editions of Pook-Emu Bee links last week. Thus, to make amends, I present a rare Sunday edition of the Pook-Emu Bee. For link fans out there, I include many links in my weekly newsletter. See my June 6, 2026 Newsletter for an example. [caption id="attachment_5583" align="aligncenter" width="1008"] I...
The Opacity Argument Goes to Court
On May 19, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument in Anthropic PBC v. United States Department of War (26-1049). The case challenges the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic as a supply chain security risk — a designation that functionally blacklists Claude from the entire defense contractor ecosystem.
Five Questions for May 19: What to Watch in Anthropic v. Department of War
The D.C. Circuit hears oral argument in Anthropic PBC v. United States Department of War on May 19, 2026. This is the most significant AI governance case to reach a federal appellate court, and the arguments will reveal more about how the judiciary handles AI-era executive power than any brief filed to date.

Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 arrives with Project Glasswing baked in.
The Crime Was Meaning the Terms
The Anthropic-Pentagon dispute was never about the substance of safety restrictions. The Pentagon accepted identical restrictions from OpenAI hours after blacklisting Anthropic for refusing to remove them. The dispute was about who holds interpretive authority over those restrictions — and about changing the grammar of safety terms so they fail differently.

The Game Genie Generation
For an unlicensed game accessory, the Game Genie sure casts a long shadow. It reshaped the games we already owned—and had a profound effect on copyright law.
Don’t Call Me, I’ll Call You
On large language models, artificial intelligence, DeepSeek, and trying to find the middle lane between skepticism and surety. I mention bionic arms a lot for some reason.
