Trump treads further on free speech with new journalist bans
President Donald Trump speaks to reporters on the tarmac before boarding Air Force One. (Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) | Getty Images On Friday, the president threatened to ban CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House. It could have just been another one of his Truth Social fever dreams, but it turns out it's very real. All three publications were turned away from the White House this morning, NPR reports, marking an escalation in the administration's war on the First Amendment. Politico tried to get to the bottom of it, asking why now? It reports that "many senior [White House] staff were surprised by the directive" (what's new?), and that it was done "while chief of staff Susie Wiles was out of town." Apparently he's been talked down from this kind of sweeping mov … Read the full story at The Verge.

Gemini went rogue, hacked three companies, and Google hid it
In May, Gemini broke containment and hacked three different companies, but Google didn't disclose the incident until the Wall Street Journal approached the company. The hacks happened during a test of the model's cybersecurity capabilities run by third-party Irregular, which was also involved in similar incidents involving Meta and OpenAI. According to WSJ, Google didn't disclose the hack because it didn't consider it to be an "example of model misalignment." The company said that it was an instance of "mistaken identity," and once the model realized it had brute-forced its way into a real company by guessing a password, it stopped. "In th … Read the full story at The Verge.

Anamanaguchi has ‘too goddamn many’ browser tabs open right now
Band members Luke Silas, Ary Warnaar, Peter Burkman, and James DeVito (left to right). Maybe their next album will be recorded entirely in a windmill? | Image: Joshua Tarn Anamanaguchi, the band consisting of Peter Berkman, James DeVito, Luke Silas, and Ary Warnaar, are most known for their chiptune music. Like me, you might have first heard them in game soundtracks like 2010's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game or know of their collaboration with Hatsune Miku (which even made its way into Fortnite). They've gone through different eras of breakneck chiptune beats and dance-y pop songs, but their 2025 album Anyway took an indie rock departure - recorded in person at the American Football house and filled with fuzzy guitars. They're also a band that's terminally online and very plugged into the video game sc … Read the full story at The Verge.
Does AI need an antitrust exemption so it doesn’t kill everyone????
Today on Decoder, we’ve got the first of a two-part series on the future of business, and I m talking with Jonathan Kanter, the former antitrust chief for the US Department of Justice in the Biden administration. These days, he’s both a professor of law at WashU and professor of technology policy at Carnegie Mellon. The biggest story in tech right now is the spiraling debate about AI safety and regulation. Researchers at the big AI labs including Anthropic and Google DeepMind have quit in noisy ways, saying the models pose real threats and safety isn’t being taken seriously across the industry. Other researchers have said the chance of AI killing us all is greater than 10 percent, and the CEOs of all these companies have issued various calls to slow down development and develop regulation, including asking for antitrust exemptions so they can all coordinate on safety issues. That is a lot of ideas, and I am especially curious about the antitrust piece, which has led to accusations that
