Anthropic revoked OpenAI’s API access to its models on Tuesday, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell WIRED. OpenAI was informed that its access was cut off due to violating the terms of service. “Claude Code has become the go-to choice for coders everywhere, and so it was no surprise to learn OpenAI’s own technical…
Louise Matsakis: I got to say, I think calling this a migration is maybe underselling it. This is an evacuation, no? I find this sad in a lot of ways just because I remember when Tuvalu was kind of the poster child for climate change, and it was like, we have to save places like…
The White House has laid out its plan to usher in a “new American Golden Age,” with cryptocurrency at its center.

It processed massive amounts of text—mechanisms for doing this powerfully and easily were part of the language—and it was even used in bioinformatics,…
Zoë Schiffer: Totally. Okay. I need to shift us to a new topic because I’m already feeling quite depressed. This one is about outer space. So my first question for you is how do you feel about outer space, Jake? And would you go if you had the chance? Normally I would say, no, thank…
The future of self-driving cars in Italy it seems needs not only technology but also (possibly above all) political backing. The good news, then, is that more than 60 mayors in Italy have decided to take the field for the cars of the future. On July 14, in the hall of the MEET Digital Culture…
On November 2, 2022, I attended a Google AI event in New York City. One of the themes was responsible AI.
