Financial Times, quoting a person close to OpenAI:
"In recent days, the [AI] industry has been working [with the USG] on ensuring foreign national researchers could continue to work on developing the most advanced models, a practice that the Anthropic directive has now banned."
This appears to indicate that the USG wants to restrict non-U.S. persons from working on frontier models generally, across the industry (not just at Anthropic).

🚨🇨🇳 CHINA BUILDS A CITY FOR AI—IT’S ALREADY HAS WITH 400 STARTUPS
Shanghai basically made a whole neighborhood just for AI, and now 400 startups have moved in like it’s the Silicon Valley of the future.
They’ve got everything: robot brains, self-driving tech, even an “AI computing power supermarket” where developers shop for digital muscle.
Yes, it sounds like sci-fi. No, you can’t live there (yet).
The government’s tossing in cash and challenges—literally telling startups, “solve this tech problem, win a grant.”
It’s like Shark Tank but with more coding and less yelling.
Over 90% of the brains behind it come from top schools or big tech.
The goal? Not just smarter apps—total AI world domination, one robot at a time.

Thank you so much to everyone who attended our inaugural event last night and to those who couldn’t make it but donated. We’d also like to thank everyone who advised and helped us behind the scenes. We are pleased to announce we raised an incredible £45,000!
Remarkable footage from Iran.
Iranian regime supporters tried to show their support for terrorist Hamas by enrolling a Palestinian flag during a soccer game, when the audience across the stadium started shouting that they can “shove their Palestinian flag into their rears”.
The people of Iran is yearning for freedom from this Islamist Theocracy.

So proud that my great grandma, Lily Ebert, 99 year old Auschwitz survivor, is receiving an MBE in the #NewYearsHonours list.
“I promised myself in Auschwitz that if I survived, I would tell my story to the world. I feel that this promise is being fulfilled.” — Lily Ebert MBE.
Seen and heard some sickening incidents of #antisemitism in football over the years but this tops it all. Won’t name and shame just yet but will see if and how the authorities deal with it. Reportedly from a 14-year-old #grassrootsfootball @CST_UK @FootballAssoc
