Parsing the WSJ article carefully:
- Trump administration is opposing the broader roll-out of Mythos "because of concerns about security". The government is involved "because of national-security risks posed by the model".
- But also "some" White House officials are worried that Anthropic won't have enough compute to serve the model to the government if it expands access to the model to more private companies.
In other words, national security concerns are at the forefront, and so this is indeed the very first case (that we know of) of the USG restricting roll-out of a new AI model based on policy considerations.

Applying real tech to real industries
two months ago i spent a weekend pointing an ai at millions of epstein court documents, financial records, and deposition transcripts.
by monday it was on the charts.
a few weeks later it had 2.8 million downloads across 83 countries, and i still hadn't spent a single dollar on marketing.
that weekend changed how i think about media - everyone knows it's broken and i'm gonna try and fix it.
i realized the biggest bottleneck in media has never been the stories. it's been the human capital required to find them.
so i started a company to create media that i wanted to consume. i'm calling it the neural broadcast network (https://t.co/toAs0JMGVF).
we're a technology-first media company producing original shows across politics, culture, business, science, and more, all sourced from public records, all cited, no spin. two shows live now, many more on the way.
the next great media company will make you wonder why you ever trusted the last one.
full story in today's newsletter.
this is excellent

This indie dev spent 1,400+ days building his game, Tangy TD, completely from scratch in C++.
Seeing him and his wife react after the game earned $250,000 in its first week after launch is honestly beautiful.
Music helps to understand the mind and the brain. Throughout the history of science, metaphors have shaped how we understand complex phenomena. The brain-as-computer metaphor has guided decades of theories and research. We propose music as a scientific metaphor for understanding the mind and brain via triplicate interfaces (listener, performer, composer) and a compound set of predictions. Multiple domains of music can be mapped onto different neural, cognitive and intersubjective processes such as network coordination, prediction, emotion and meaning. Neurocognition is not static but a dynamic, embodied, and time-sensitive system, much like a self-organized orchestra in which multiple processes interact simultaneously. Drawing on synergetics, predictive processing, and embodied cognition, we outline musical principles illuminating cognitive and action integration across time, offering new conceptual frameworks and testable predictions for future research. I enjoyed writing this piece with these stellar authors: @Kaiameye, @acolverson1, Christopher Bailey, @brucemillerucsf, @dafneduron90, Nicholas Johnson, Olga Castaner, @PierLuigiSacco, Eoin Cotter and Lucia Melloni. Science, like music, advances through new ways of listening to complex systems: https://t.co/W3pJRyXJOH
All AI posters at GTC.
This is not for human consumption. This video is for AI to watch.
Click the grok button and talk to it about what it learned by seeing all the AI posters (highly technical) presented at @NVIDIAGTC tonight.
Thanks NVIDIA for the badge and access.
