The White House opposes a plan from Anthropic to expand access to its powerful artificial-intelligence model Mythos, complicating the rollout of an AI tool capable of carrying out cyberattacks and sowing widespread disruptions online.
Anthropic recently proposed letting roughly 70 additional companies and organizations use Mythos, which would have brought the total number of entities with access to about 120, people familiar with the matter said. Administration officials told the company they oppose the move because of concerns about security, the people said. Some White House officials also worried that Anthropic wouldn’t have access to enough computing power to serve that many more entities without hampering the government’s ability to use it effectively, one of the people said.
The White House is involved in the rollout of Mythos because of the national-security risks posed by the model. Its ability to find and exploit software vulnerabilities has rattled government agencies and companies in recent weeks. The discussions between Anthropic and the White House are meant to address the risks and have served as an attempt to repair the relationship between Anthropic and the government.
Oil prices hit a fresh wartime high on Thursday, surging above $120 a barrel before pulling back in volatile trading on concerns that the war in Iran could escalate, leading to a longer disruption of fuel supplies from the Middle East.
President Trump maintained his stance that the naval blockade of Iran’s ports would persist until Tehran gives up its nuclear program. His remarks to Axios on Wednesday suggested that the standoff over the Strait of Hormuz, the vital trading route for oil and natural gas supplies, was not nearing a resolution.
The average price of regular gasoline in the United States has followed oil higher, hitting $4.30 a gallon on Thursday, up 27 cents in a week, according to data from the AAA motor club.
I didn’t realize it until I was about 15 minutes from the office on the ride home, and decided fuck it, not going to get TBI tonight, I’ll get it off my desk in the morning. Don’t know how I overlooked it except that I was in a hurry to get home and beat the coming rain. I guess it rained pretty hard for a while now, the SuperDuty looks wet, but it has lightened up this morning...
Wasn’t planning on riding in today, instead taking the bus in but I have Pine Bush Dinner tonight, and I need the bike to get there. Twice yesterday the chain slipped off the bike. Got the replacement dork disk for the bike, now I’m awaiting the cassette and chain so I can change that out. Looks like the rain will hold off for a bit, otherwise I’ll put my bike on the bus. It was kind of silly to worry about not wearing a helmet one day, I am sure it’s still in my office, but I was particularly guarded riding home and will be going in today. I am sure it’s still sitting at my desk.
Going to shower and then head in. Just take the shorter route on the bike path as I lack the helmet. I don’t know how I managed to miss that on the ride home, I guess I was so focused on getting home before the rain. Didn’t rain to late but I ended up spending much of the evening in bed reading and listening to podcasts and videos before passing out around 8 PM and getting a fairly decent night sleep. Cut back on pinto beans, theyw were starting to give me an upset stomach. More carrot pancakes this morning, using up the remaining frozen fruit I had at home. Only got one cup of iced Snickerdoodle coffee yesterday in the office as every time I checked the pot it was empty.
Been trying to gurggle my mouth with baking soda, which seems to help a fair bit with the bad breath. And making sure to floss and brush well. Maybe some of it just simple ol’ sugar and cream I like in my coffee at work, or carrot particles the floss isn’t getting out fully. Still I don’t like how gross it makes my breath.
