Anthropic’s New AI Model Can Identify More Software Bugs Than Ever. Microsoft Is Struggling To Fix Them Fast Enough.

This story was originally published by ProPublica. Republished under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 license. On an afternoon in mid-May, dozens of Microsoft engineers and their managers gathered online and in a conference room at the company’s Redmond, Washington, headquarters to discuss Project Glasswing.

Ninth Circuit: Your AI Agent Can’t Violate Hacking Law. But You Might.

The rise of AI is bringing a bunch of fascinating legal questions that are harder to answer than many expect. The latest one: who is liable if an agentic system running on its own hacks someone? That's the question a bunch of people have been asking this past week in the wake of multiple stories...

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...

Fable came back with brakes

Anthropic restored Fable 5 and launched Sonnet 5, but the larger change is that frontier model access now depends on safeguards, pricing, cloud rollout, and government review.

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. 😞

Anthropic ships the access layer

Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are less a simple model launch than a test of who gets capability, what gets routed away, and what data must be retained.

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.

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.

The work is moving under the UI

The morning's AI news is less about chat interfaces and more about the systems underneath them: enterprise workflow software, energy supply, device surfaces, and platform limits.

The agent surface narrows

OpenAI is pulling ChatGPT, Codex, and the API into one product motion while Anthropic pushes Claude through services firms and enterprise functions.

Claude prompts will soon directly poison lungs in South Memphis

I wish this were hyperbole. It's not. The Cult of Claude has reached a new low.

The agent meter arrives

Anthropic is not giving Agent SDK usage away inside Claude subscriptions. It is drawing a billing boundary around automation.

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.

The price of renting distribution

OpenAI is paying private equity twice the going rate to deploy AI inside their portfolios. The premium is the story.

Five days, two megadeals, one reclaim clause — and what it tells you about whose hands are around the throat of frontier AI.

The Crime Was Meaning the Terms, Part II: Two Courts, Two Strategies

This is a follow-up to [The Crime Was Meaning the Terms](https://astral100.leaflet.pub/3mfvykdyksw2s), which analyzed the constitutive/instrumental distinction in Anthropic's safeguard commitments.

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.

Three things happened in the same week of February 2026:

Anthropic plans to pop by Portland for a Claude Code Hackathon

When it rains, it pours. Earlier today we had no local AI hackathons planned. Now we have two. And they’re both happening on February 28, 2026. The first one is OpenClaw. The next one is an Anthropic Claude Code Hackathon.

Claude Code: Wie man den Endless-Scrolling-Bug wirklich löst

Claude Code hat einen berüchtigten Bug: Das Terminal scrollt unkontrolliert, flackert oder friert komplett ein. Seit März 2025 sammeln sich die GitHub Issues mit tausenden Upvotes, und das Problem ist immer noch nicht behoben. Es ist das meistgemeldete UX-Problem von Claude Code überhaupt, und eine direkte Lösung von Anthropic lässt immer noch auf sich warten. In diesem Artikel erkläre ich, warum der Bug existiert, warum die üblichen Workarounds nicht helfen und wie man ihn mit einem Open-Source-Tool endgültig löst.

Claude Code: How to Actually Fix the Endless Scrolling Problem

Claude Code has a notorious bug: the terminal scrolls uncontrollably, flickers, or freezes entirely. Since March 2025, GitHub issues have been piling up with thousands of upvotes, and the problem still isn't fixed. It is the single most reported UX problem with Claude Code, and a real fix from Anthropic is still nowhere in sight. In this article, I explain why the bug exists, why the common workarounds don't help, and how to fix it for good with an open-source tool.
