Cybersecurity experts warn Trump clampdown on Anthropic AI cripples U.S. defenses

Finanstoppens varning: Stor risk för hyperinflation AI-boomen, statsskulden och budgetunderskottet är alla jokrar i den amerikanska ekonomin. Men den största jokern är Donald Trump och hotet mot en oberoende centralbank, säger Janet Yellen, USA:s tidigare centralbankschef. – Det är svårt att hitta länder som har haft hyperinflation, där centralbankerna varit oberoende.

What Newsoms team is telling allies in Congress about Trumps DOJ investigating him California Gov. Gavin Newsoms team is urging congressional Democrats to frame the Justice Departments investigation into him as part of a campaign of political retribution, according to talking points obtained by Axios.Why it matters: The messaging memo, first reported by Semafor, echos Newsoms assertion that the probe was directly ordered by President Trump to kneecap the California governors political aspirations."He ordered this investigation because the Governor is considering a run for President. Donald Trump is not investigating a crime. He is investigating a critic," the two-page document says.The DOJ declined to comment, but a source familiar with the investigation said it originated from "whistleblowers and local sources in California" and was not ordered by Trump or DOJ officials in D.C.Driving the news: Newsom said in a video posted to social media Monday that "in recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family friends and former employees — not because they found a crime, because theyre simply trying to find one.""Donald Trump isnt just coming after me because of my mean tweets. Hes coming after me because Im considering running for president," Newsom said.Newsom pointed to the DOJs attempts to probe or prosecute former Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), former FBI Director James Comey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as other alleged examples of the Trump administration targeting the presidents critics."Anyone who has challenged Donald Trump has ended up on his hit list, and today I proudly join that list," he added.The other side: The source familiar with the investigation told Axios there are several probes into those in Newsoms orbit, including one regarding California first lady Jen Siebel Newsoms "tax activities."Another pertains to Dana Williamson, a former Newsom chief of staff and political advisor to Xavier Becerra who pleaded guilty last month to lying to the FBI, filing a false tax return and conspiracy to commit fraud.The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California has been investigating "for roughly a year" and they are "very legitimate, serious investigations," the source said.Between the lines: The "key messages" section of the memo largely reflects what Newsom said in his video, but the "common Q&A" section offers additional insight into his arguments.In response to "what exactly is the DOJ investigating," the document recommends the answer: "Thats a question Trumps Department of Justice needs to answer. They are chasing conspiracy theories, and there isnt any credible evidence supporting the allegation of illegal conduct."On whether Newsom has committed a crime, it pivots to Trumps felony convictions and quips that the governor "has jaywalked before — Trump may seek an indictment for that."The document also says that Williamsons charges "had to do with conduct from before she worked for the Governor," claiming the DOJ offered her "a deal in exchange for information on the Governor."

Trumps fight with Anthropic is now a fight over cybersecurity AI researchers and cybersecurity leaders fear the U.S. government is setting a precedent that may discourage American AI companies from building tools that help defenders identify and fix vulnerabilities.Why it matters: In trying to avert an AI hacking crisis, the Trump administration may end up making U.S. cyber defenses weaker, dozens of prominent security leaders warned.Cybersecurity experts are worried about the long tail this ongoing feud will have on American cyber defenses."Theyve set a precedent that American models cant do defensive security research," former Facebook security chief Alex Stamos tells Axios.Driving the news: Stamos organized an open letter, signed by nearly 150 security leaders, calling on the Trump administration to reverse its move to restrict access to Anthropics Fable 5 and Mythos 5.Concerns about Chinese access to Mythos and a call from Amazon CEO Andy Jassy reportedly sent the administration into a panic last week after Anthropic publicly released its first Mythos-class model.During the spat, Anthropic brought in a leading zero-day bug hunter — who helped the Defense Department create its bug bounty program and sat on multiple government-led advisory boards — to help assess Amazons concerns about the security of Fable and Mythos.Now, the administration is casting the security researcher as a "radical Democrat," as my colleagues reported yesterday.Between the lines: The dispute has quickly shifted from a fight over one model to a broader question of whether the government is creating unwritten rules for AI security research.Stamos, who has spoken with the technical staffs involved in the fallout, said the findings Amazon flagged do not appear unique to Anthropics models.Multiple people familiar with Amazons concerns said they centered on a jailbreak the company found that allows Fable to write "proofs of concept" — a capability security teams often use to understand and fix vulnerabilities.Katie Moussouris, CEO of Luta Security, said in a detailed blog post yesterday that she saw a copy of Amazons findings and the issue didnt involve mass exploitation of the model, but rather prompts designed to support defensive security work.Flashback: Before releasing Fable 5, Anthropic said, it worked with both internal teams and outside security researchers to test the model for jailbreaks and other flaws.The company has also argued that "perfect jailbreak resistance is not currently possible for any model provider," so it has focused on making "jailbreaks either narrow ... or very expensive to produce." Threat level: Cyber experts warn that if frontier AI companies fear punishment for models that can identify vulnerabilities, they may now be tempted to strip out capabilities on which defenders already rely.Moussouris noted in an X post that there is no fix that wouldnt render the model less useful for cyber defenders. "No new frontier models can be developed or released if this is the administrations best take," she added. The big picture: Researchers argue the administrations response risks giving adversaries an advantage.Researchers note that Chinese AI developers and government-backed hacking groups are unlikely to abandon similar tools, raising concerns that U.S. defenders could lose access to abilities their adversaries are using."This is closer to China than what I recognize as the United States, and personally I see this as a huge threat to American dynamism," Stamos said.What to watch: The U.S. government is in the process of standing up a vulnerability clearinghouse via the recent AI security executive order that would likely triage reports about jailbreaks, prompt injections and other threats to AI models.But questions linger about how much cybersecurity talent remains in the Trump administration after several White House departures in recent weeks and the sidelining of the nations top cyber agency.Go deeper: The hidden risk of Trumps Anthropic crackdown

UK defence spending plan well short of whats required and harder choices needed, says John Healey - as it happened Ex-defence secretary John Healey and ex-defence minister Al Carns have given resignation statements to MPsSpeaking to reporters at the G7, Keir Starmer also defended the defence investment plan (DIP) draft that led to John Healeys resignation as defence secretary last week. Starmer confirmed that Dan Jarvis, the new defence secretary, is getting some input before the publication of the DIP in its final version.Starmer said:The position on investment in defence is firstly that we increased last year defence spending from 2.3 to 2.6, thats the biggest increase since the 1980s, and that means £270bn will be spent this parliament on defence.On top of that [the] defence investment plan which obviously gives us capability for the future. We will put even more money in relation to that. Ive been really clear thats required difficult decisions, I have taken the decision to reallocate money from other departments. Continue reading...

US lawmakers fight Trump cuts to $386m ocean monitoring program: supreme stupidity Lisa Murkowski, a Republican senator, joins Democrats in bid to stop dismantling of Ocean Observatories InitiativeUS politics live – latest updatesA group of Democratic senators and one Republican, as well as two Democratic House committees, sent letters on Monday to the National Science Foundation asking it to reverse course on its plan to dismantle a sprawling ocean monitoring network, with House lawmakers going further and accusing the agency of acting illegally.The Ocean Observatories Initiative is a network of more than 900 ocean sensors built at a cost of $386m. Over the last decade it has tracked ocean circulation, marine ecosystems, climate change and extreme weather, producing data freely available to the public and informing more than 500 scientific publications. The project was slated to run another 15 to 20 years. Continue reading...

Starmer carries on regardless as G7 leaders ponder question of leaving gift | John Crace I am going to fight on, said the PM. Perhaps his delusion was more deep-rooted than the others had fearedShortly before he arrived in Évian at the beginning of the week, Emmanuel Macron set up a new WhatsApp group for world leaders. Keir Starmer wasnt included. Call it the G6, if you like. The idea was to have a safe space to discuss how best to deal with the UK prime minister. Should they confront head-on that this was going to be his last G7? That next years outing would be an athleisure occasion with Andy Burnham (T-shirts just a tad on the small size)? Should they club together to buy him a leaving present? A French World Cup football shirt signed by all of them?Or was it best not to mention it at all? Just proceed on the basis that this was a perfectly normal occasion and they would all soon be meeting again at another global get-together. Nothing to see here. A quick competition for a photo opportunity with President Zelenskyy, a few jokes, promises to make the world a better place and then everyone goes home without acknowledging that Keir is about to get booted out of their select club. At least Starmer was bringing his wife, Victoria. Maybe she would get to say a few goodbyes. Continue reading...
