The U.S. government must stop saying 'AI'

Our take: when the word in a survey changes, the numbers can change too. The Census Bureau already reworded this question once, in November 2025. Before you trust a chart about AI use, check the question, not the headline.

RUMORRUMOR: Anthropic's site listed Mythos 5.5, then deleted it

Our take: a new Mythos model is probably close, but nothing is confirmed. And if you see "leaked weights" to download, don't: Hacker News already removed one such link over malware concerns.

The best AI scored just 12% on real expert work

Our take: when a headline says AI beats experts, ask how the test was built. Finding the right context is a big part of real work, and that's where AI still struggles. GDPx is one firm's benchmark, so treat it as one measurement, not the final word.

New malware asks an AI how much you're worth

Our take: your saved logins are the real prize. Use a password manager, turn on passkeys or two-factor, and never keep a seed phrase in a text file. Already hit? Change your passwords and log out of every session.
