🏦 Anthropic Mythos triggers anxiety among Washington banks
Anthropic’s latest AI model, Mythos, has triggered serious concern among major banks in Washington, prompting Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to convene an emergency meeting with bank CEOs.
Executives from Citigroup, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs met this week to discuss the risks of AI-driven cyberattacks capable of wiping out account balances or exploiting vulnerabilities in the financial system.
Anthropic intends to limit Mythos to only a small number of companies to reduce exposure, though critics argue that AI labs are profiting from selling solutions to the very threats created by their own models.

🔥 Suspect arrested after Molotov cocktail thrown at Altman's home
A 20-year-old man was arrested in San Francisco after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s home and later threatening to burn down OpenAI’s headquarters.
Police responded to a fire investigation in the North Beach neighborhood around 4:12 a.m. PT and confirmed that an incendiary device had been thrown at the exterior gate of the residence.
OpenAI stated that no one was injured in either incident, confirmed the individual is in custody, and said the company is fully cooperating with law enforcement in the ongoing investigation.

🖥️ France to ditch Windows for Linux
France has announced plans to replace Microsoft Windows with the open-source operating system Linux across all government computers as part of a broader effort to reduce its dependence on U.S. technology.
French minister David Amiel stated that the government can no longer tolerate lacking control over its own data and digital infrastructure, describing the transition as a step toward “regaining control of our digital destiny.”
France has not yet provided a specific timeline or named the Linux distributions under consideration, though the move follows its earlier decision to replace Microsoft Teams with the French-developed platform Visio.

🦾 Claude Grew Tomatoes for 100 Days
The Experiment: A user ran a full-season tomato-growing project (CLAUDE-SOL) where they let Claude AI act as the primary “gardener,” making nearly all decisions on variety selection, planting schedule, watering, feeding, pruning, and pest management.
Methods: Claude was given complete autonomy through detailed prompts and weekly updates. The human followed the AI’s instructions almost exactly, documenting everything in real time.
Results: The AI-guided tomato plants performed surprisingly well — producing healthy growth and decent yields — but ultimately underperformed compared to traditional human-led growing in terms of total fruit output and disease resistance.
Key Takeaways: Claude excelled at planning and knowledge recall but struggled with real-time adaptation to unexpected problems (weather, pests, micro-environment). The experiment showed AI is a powerful co-pilot for gardening, but still needs human oversight for best results. The author called it a “humbling success” rather than a complete victory.
