After the fossil gas contract with Musk's X, Anthropic is now signing a $13.7 billion compute deal over six years with Rum Group which operates the far-right Rumble video-sharing platform. The new datacenter in Maysville is connected to the Georgia grid which runs on ~40% gas and ~15% coal. If Anthropic had more genuine intentions about saving humanity, it would stop funding far-right groups as well as stop burning that much gas and coal. https://www.theinformation.com/articles/anthropic-strikes-13-7-billion-compute-deal-trump-linked-rum-group

Designer Simon Weckert has created a colourful camouflage shirt that is not detected by some AI video systems.

Developed in response to a pilot project to use artificial intelligence (AI) video surveillance at Berlin's Kottbusser Tor, which starts this month, the shirt was designed to stop the user being recognised as a person.

Local LLMs have been super useful to write custom parsers for websites that don't offer RSS (shame on them!) just by passing the list of articles page and prompted to create an RSS feed for them.

Qwen 3.8 just one-shotted me a Rust HTML parser to create RSS feeds that I serve on localhost so they show up in my RSS reader with the rest of the RSS content.
It just figured out how the cHash works on Typo3 CMSes to create correct pagination queries 🙌

The movie beautifully portrayed how isolated Charles de Gaulle was and how dire the situation seemed.

Important take-away from HuggingFace: you cannot trust closed weights providers for incident response. They used GLM 5.2 on HuggingFace's own infra to circumvent the provider’s guardrails they were hitting. Also ensured that no attacker data or credentials were leaving their environment. https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026 This is consistent with malware patterns that inject nuclear weapons or biological threats-related text to evade automatic reversing with guardrailed LLMs https://socket.dev/blog/mini-shai-hulud-miasma-and-hades-worms-target-bioinformatics-and-mcp-developers-via-malicious
