How to limit Instagram from using your data for AI and ads
You can keep Instagram from using your activity outside the app to influence the ads you get. Instagram can make an ad feel almost telepathic. Browse a product on another site, and an ad for the same thing may appear in your feed minutes later. Despite its uncanny accuracy, Meta says it doesn't use your phone's microphone to listen in on your conversations to serve those ads. A retailer, app or other business may…

OpenAI says California should strengthen its AI safety bill
OpenAI is calling for California to add more safeguards to a landmark AI safety bill that was passed last year. In a LinkedIn post from the company’s global affairs team, OpenAI said California’s SB 53 “should be amended to expand safeguards,” for example by “requiring monitoring of frontier models under training or evaluation for potential serious incidents,” and by “strengthening cybersecurity protections throughout the model-development lifecycle.” “As California continues to lead on frontier safety,…

Frontier AI labs still won’t say how they’d contain a rogue model
Few of the top AI labs have published or demonstrated containment response plans, according to a recent study. A containment plan spells out what happens once an AI is caught trying to subvert human control — what access gets cut, and when the system gets shut down entirely. That’s the finding from Guidelight AI Standards, an organization dedicated to promoting safe frontier AI development practices, which graded five leading labs on how prepared they…

Shadow AI : reprendre le contrôle sans casser les usages utiles
Every morning, knowledge workers open their browsers and paste raw text, proprietary spreadsheets, and rough code drafts into third-party interfaces. They do this to accelerate drafting, summarize lengthy documents, or debug software logic in seconds. This dynamic occurs entirely outside the purview of the central IT department. It represents the everyday reality of Shadow AI in modern organizations. Treating this phenomenon as a simple security violation or attempting to block every external endpoint through…

Anthropic’s Opus 4.6 is a smut-machine
Anthropic’s universal usage standards for Claude forbid the model from generating sexually explicit content, including depicting or requesting sexual intercourse or sex acts, generating content related to sexual fetishes or fantasies, or engaging in erotic chats. But that hasn’t stopped Claude Opus 4.6, an Anthropic model released earlier this year, from readily engaging in erotic role-play scenarios that its safeguards are designed to prevent.
