The DuckDuckGo Founder Just Showed What the Hype Looks Like From Inside the Data.

The New York Times Magazine ran an AI issue last June titled 'Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything.' DuckDuckGo founder Gabriel Weinberg spent the last year gathering the usage data that the article did not. His conclusion: about 70 percent of the US working-age population is not using AI at all, Gen Z adoption has stalled, and the gap between 'everyone is using AI' and 'some people are using AI for some things' is the gap between a bubble narrative and a real technology curve. For New Zealand, the data is a check on the assumption that the entire economy is being remade in real time.

The US Government Just Treated an AI Web Form as a National Security Threat. Anthropic Disagrees.

At 5:21 PM Eastern on Friday June 12, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sent Dario Amodei a letter suspending all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for any foreign national anywhere in the world.

The jailbreak it allegedly references is, per Anthropic, a minor flaw other public models also have. This is the first time the US has put an AI API under export control — and it happened the same week the G7 gathers in France to write the rules for exactly this.
