Anthropic Model Safety Controversy Escalates, Amazon Accused of Being the "Hidden Force" Triggering Regulatory Intervention
the U.S. government's export controls and access restrictions on Anthropic's models, Fable 5 / Mythos 5, were partly driven by Amazon's cybersecurity research and AWS CEO Andy Jassy's communications with the White House.It is understood that research submitted by Amazon indicated that through a series of prompt tests, researchers could induce Fable 5 to output sensitive information potentially usable for cyberattacks, raising security concerns. Subsequently, Andy Jassy reported these findings to the U.S. government level, prompting the White House to implement further restrictions, including banning foreign users from accessing the model.Meanwhile, former U.S. Commerce Department official Kate Koren revealed that the White House's existing policy stance towards Anthropic may have also influenced this decision. This is because Anthropic has disagreements with the White House over the boundaries of AI safety, including refusing to use its models for mass surveillance or lethal autonomous weapons systems. Although the two sides had eased tensions and expanded cooperation earlier this year, this incident could reignite strained relations between them. (The Wall Street Journal)

New York bar spends $5,000 on Kalshi to hedge against Knicks free drink promotion
The Jeffrey, a bar on Manhattan's Upper East Side, launched a promotion during Game 1 of the NBA Finals: if the New York Knicks won, all customer drinks for the night would be free. The bar simultaneously invested $5,000 on the prediction market Kalshi to establish a hedging position, purchasing "Knicks Win" contracts. If the Knicks won, the bar would have to cover customer tabs, but profits from the Kalshi contracts would offset those losses. If the Knicks lost, the bar would not need to comp any drinks and would only lose the hedging cost. Bar owner Andy Freedman stated that this approach allows them to execute bolder marketing campaigns while maintaining risk control.
