Anthropic wins court battle against Pentagon in California

A US court blocked the Pentagon's decision to classify Anthropic as a risk to the military supply chain, calling the measure "illegal and unfounded". Judge Rita Lin, appointed by Joe Biden, issued a 59-page ruling in favor of the artificial intelligence company, which had refused to allow its models to be used for domestic surveillance or autonomous weapons. The Pentagon, led by Pete Hegseth, made this decision after Anthropic's refusal, which claimed it was retaliation for its positions on AI safety. The company celebrated the decision, stating it remains focused on working with the government, but still faces a second lawsuit in Washington related to a similar classification that could prevent access to civilian government contracts.

Trump wants to change the map of America. He already has a gulf and a lake. He only needs an ocean now

Donald Trump signed an executive order to change the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" in official United States documents, following the same logic he already applied to the Gulf of Mexico, now designated "Gulf of America." During the signing, Trump suggested that the next step could be renaming an ocean, either the Atlantic or the Pacific. The changes are part of the broader context of the trade war between Washington and Ottawa, which already includes 50% tariffs on Canadian products. However, the change only applies to American federal agencies, not requiring Canada or other countries to adopt the new names. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and the governor of New York have already announced they will continue using the original names. The water remains in the same place, but official maps will diverge.
