"Propaganda is a dirty word in the American idiom, but the United States spends a lot of money on it and a lot of public diplomacy, including things like cultural exchanges, are not propagandistic by nature."—Nathaniel Greenberg, @jadaliyya https://t.co/BNUQ2iso7x #Interview

Breaking news: Secretary of State Marco Rubio has invited ministers from more than 60 countries to a meeting next week about what the Trump administration views as a major peril: the “resurgence of transnational far-left terrorism,” according to documents reviewed by The Post. https://t.co/2S6rXEJXfC

❗️ This is awesome. Anthropic says Claude spontaneously developed an internal workspace resembling the brain's mechanism for conscious access, and researchers showed they can edit its contents to silently redirect the model's reasoning, a finding that advances interpretability while opening hard questions about steering and machine cognition.

Just dropped my interview in @Vedomosti on U.S.-Russian relations timed to America’s 250th anniversary.

Why studying America remains essential: United States still shape global tech, order & innovation.

We share striking similarities: both mission-driven nations, idealistic, open, ready to “save the world” yet profound differences in political culture make dialogue so challenging.

Key insights:
• Relations are cyclical but lack pragmatic economic anchors (unlike U.S.-China).
• Experts Diplomacy gaps fuel misunderstandings.
• American identity is built on enduring leadership even in a shifting multipolar world.

This is a new paradigm for interacting with Claude that is significantly more "inline" with all the other human activity org-wide. Once you do all of the under the hood engineering work to make this "just work" (e.g. across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory, security, etc.), Claude basically joins the team in a seamless way - you can talk to it as you would talk to a person and it can help with a very large variety of workloads.

Imo this is the 3rd major redesign of LLM UIUX. The first paradigm was that the LLM is a website you go to, the second was that it is an app you download to your computer. This third one is that it is a self-contained, persistent, asynchronous entity with org-wide tools and context, working alongside teams of humans. It really takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it works and it is awesome.

Moving ahead.

Today's executive orders are an important step to help ensure continued US leadership in quantum computing. Google was honored to participate in today's signing ceremony, and we look forward to continued collaboration with the U.S. government.

‼️🚨 BREAKING: NSA and Cyber Command chief, Gen. Joshua Rudd, said Mythos "broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours."

A week after Washington forced Anthropic to disable its most powerful models, the likely reason is sharpening. According to reports Senator Mark Warner told a hearing that the NSA and Cyber Command chief said the firm's Mythos model penetrated almost all of the agency's classified systems within hours during authorized testing.

That demonstration sits behind the June 12 Commerce Department directive, which barred every foreign national, including Anthropic's own non-citizen employees, from using Fable 5 and Mythos 5, leading the company to pull both for all customers. It is the first time the US has export-controlled an AI model itself rather than the chips behind it.

Anthropic disputes the rationale, calling the cited trigger a narrow jailbreak that other models like GPT-5.5 also exhibit and the recall an overreaction.
