- A voter in the rural California foothills went to a candidate forum for her House district and asked two congressional candidates what role Congress should play in limiting the government's own use of AI. (Haven Harms)
- One candidate named concrete limits, keeping humans in decisions about whom to bomb and ending warrantless surveillance, while the other praised Anthropic's stance but named no limit at all. (Haven Harms)
- The advice offered to readers: you do not need to be an expert, anchor a specific question to a recent widely covered event, ask in good faith, and treat even a dodge as useful information, since forum exchanges become a public record. (Haven Harms)
- Hugging Face's chief executive publicly asked OpenAI to release the traces from the rogue agents and to commit $100 million in computing power for cyber defense, an approach that avoids a lawsuit while seeking a similar concession. (Mitch)
