"The UFC event captures something about this moment in our history.
After all, it’s vulgar, it’s violent, it’s commercial, it’s grandiose, it’s tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

📰 L’IA peut-elle se permettre de tuer le journalisme ?
Bien que les outils d’IA générative dépendent de l’information produite par des journalistes, les entreprises d’IA refusent d’en payer le prix

So Anthropic says now even some of its own employees, who built Anthropic’s most powerful new AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, will not have access to it.
The reason is a U.S. government export control directive that treats giving these advanced models to any foreign national (even those working inside the United States) as an illegal “deemed export” on national security grounds.
Because Anthropic cannot easily verify every user’s nationality in real time, the company had no choice but to disable the models entirely for everyone, including its own international team members.

BREAKING: The US Govt directed Anthropic to shut down its strongest Claude models.
Anthropic received the export control directive on Friday from the government. The net effect is that it must disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all customers to comply.
Because, someone found a jailbreak that could make the model reveal cybersecurity help it was supposed to refuse.
Anthropic says the government has not shown a broad, universal jailbreak that turns the model into an unrestricted hacking assistant.
The shown technique was narrow, found only a small number of already known minor vulnerabilities, and produced capability that other public models can also provide.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick wrote Friday that Anthropic’s Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models would face export limits anywhere outside the United States and for foreign persons within it.
The model must stay restricted until the U.S. government strengthens its national security systems, which could happen within the next few weeks.
Anthropic further said "We suspect that perfect jailbreak resistance is not currently possible for any model provider. Every safeguard used in the industry is vulnerable to non-universal jailbreaks (which can elicit some cyber information in specific circumstances), and it is likely that universal jailbreaks will eventually be found in the future."

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy.
Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes.
The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled.
The conclusion is one sentence.
"At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand."
An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody.
Here is how you get there.
A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself.
Because the workers who were fired were also customers.
When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation.
The loop has no natural exit.
The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements.
Every single one failed in the model.
The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger.
No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it.
Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion."
Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem.
Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it.
Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place.
