Have you heard of Tilly Norwood? Well, she's "the world's first AI actor" who has yet to appear in film or TV. And she's just released a music video which was apparently made by 18 real humans. What do you think?

Anthropic is in court arguing the U.S. government can’t force it to weaken AI guardrails so the Pentagon can use its models for mass surveillance ⚖️

EFF and others back Anthropic, saying compelled code changes for AI monitoring violate the First Amendment and turbocharge already unchecked surveillance 🛡️

In a note to engineers inviting them to a meeting to discuss recent outages, Amazon said there has been a "trend of incidents" in recent months, characterized by "Gen-AI assisted changes," among other factors. Dave Treadwell, a senior vice-president, told employees that senior engineers will now need to sign off AI-assisted changes from junior and mid-level engineers. Here's more from @arstechnica.

Lmao. Gen AI is causing outages at AWS and Amazon causing business income loss. So now all AI created code needs senior developers to check it twice. So how is this saving time? #ai #llm #aws

#uspol Anthropic sues the Trump administration

Anthropic says the Pentagon’s “supply chain risk” label is unlawful retaliation for its public refusal to let Claude be used for autonomous weapons or mass surveillance, arguing the designation exceeds the statute’s purpose, harms the company economically by effectively blacklisting it from Pentagon contracts, and seeks a court order blocking enforcement. The supply-chain risk label is typically reserved for foreign-adversary threats; applying it to a U.S. #AI developer is highly unusual.

Despite Anthropic’s public stance, the company had indeed been approved for use on classified networks and worked with contractors (including #Palantir) on government projects.

India’s AI market is providing significant economic and social opportunities for the country.
The LF Research, in collaboration with Meta, finds the country’s AI market could reach nearly $32B by 2031. Open source, public-private collaboration, and a fast-growing AI talent base are driving that growth.

From agriculture and healthcare to justice and the creator economy, the impact is already measurable.

"Pentagon Refuses to Say If AI Was Used to Select Elementary School as Bombing Target."
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/pentagon-ai-claude-bombing-elementary-school

PS: I don't know whether AI played a role in targeting the school. But we should all understand that it could have played a role even with the #Anthropic guardrails preventing use in mass surveillance and autonomous lethal weapons. If we want to prevent the use of AI tools in atrocities, we need to go a lot further than Anthropic did.

A whimsical digital art image I created of a cow standing in a vibrant meadow wearing a colorful flower crown of daisies. The landscape includes distant mountains and bright wildflowers. In a bright countryside meadow filled with colorful wildflowers, a gentle cow stands calmly wearing a charming crown of fresh daisies. The vibrant flowers in pink, yellow, white, and orange rest lightly between her horns, giving her a playful and almost regal appearance. Behind her, rolling green hills and distant mountains stretch beneath a soft blue sky with fluffy clouds, while another cow rests peacefully in the background. THE FINE ART AMERICA LOGO WILL NOT APPEAR ON PURCHASED PRINTS OR PRODUCTS.
