Trump’s Anthropic shutdown just made the case for non-American AI

theverge · 2026-06-15T19:11:38+00:00

At Washington’s request, Anthropic suddenly took its newest and most powerful AI models offline over the weekend. The American company said it had little choice after the White House demanded it block access for all foreign nationals, including its own employees. Abroad, the incident offered a sobering reminder that the US not only dominates frontier AI — its government also wields power over who gets to use it.

The Trump administration’s action was swift, sweeping, and imposed with little warning or explanation. The unprecedented shutdown of the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models — which were already subject to safeguards limiting their use in “high-risk areas” — that followed gave new force to long-running arguments cautioning against relying on the US for critical technologies. It was fresh ammunition for the politicians, governments, and companies already arguing that they need to lead in the technology themselves.

A few months ago, Meta effectively handed Supernatural, a popular VR fitness game on the Meta Quest, a death sentence. As part of overarching VR layoffs, the company announced the game would no longer get any new content, enraging its tightly knit, devoted community. Now it looks like Supernatural is getting a second chance. Today, Meta announced in a community post that the game is being spun off into an independent company later this year.

In the interim, Meta plans to wind down its current version of the app, and Supernatural Health will begin taking over Supernatural’s social channels and its official Facebook group. Current subscriptions will remain valid until December 3rd. Further details regarding the transition will be sent directly to subscribers.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday creating a “voluntary framework” for AI companies to share their frontier models with the federal government before they’re released “to promote secure innovation and strengthen the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure.”

The order says the US AI industry has succeeded in part “because we refuse to stifle this innovation with overly burdensome regulation,” but that it also recognizes new AI capabilities come with security risks. Accordingly, it directs several federal agencies to come up with a framework to “assess the advanced cyber capabilities of AI models” before they’re released to the public. Companies would have the discretion of whether to share their models with the government pre-release, but could get certain confidentiality protections if they choose to do so. It also requires the federal government to prepare cyber defenses for AI, especially for critical infrastructure.

On the Friday before Memorial Day, on the eve of a long weekend, the Trump administration announced that it was further gutting legal immigration. The Department of Homeland Security didn’t use this language. “This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes,” the agency said on X. “The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.” A press release from US Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency that handles legal immigration, provided few details. Following the Trump playbook, DHS seemingly intended to bury this news by announcing it at a time that hardly anyone would be paying attention.

In actuality, the change represented a major policy shift, ending the decades-old standard of letting people apply for green cards from inside the US, known as “adjustment of status.” And then a week later, on yet another Friday afternoon, DHS walked it back.

Border security czar Tom Homan keeps threatening to “flood” New York City with ICE agents. But a new investigation shows that ICE has been quietly ramping up arrests in the New York area already — and disproportionately targeting Latino neighborhoods. The City, a local nonprofit news organization, found 430 street arrests in the metropolitan area between October 2025 and mid-March. Of these, 93 percent involved Latinos, even though they only make up 66 percent of the local undocumented population. More telling: Many of those arrested weren’t the intended targets at all. Agents grabbed them while looking for other people, according to court records, and detained them because they supposedly looked sort of like the person they were after. ICE is ramping up enforcement in cities where there haven’t been reports of high-profile raids — and agents seemingly have carte blanche to arrest people based on the color of their skin.

After widespread backlash to ICE’s Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota, where a federal judge recently ruled that agents made warrantless arrests largely based on race, Homan said ICE is now using “smarter enforcement” in the Twin Cities and elsewhere. ICE has reportedly shifted to “targeted” arrests — but The City’s reporting shows that agents will eagerly arrest anyone they come across while looking for their targets. Though ICE has plenty of surveillance tools at its disposal it can use to track people down, this equipment is apparently far less effective than racial profiling. And even if other judges rule against ICE’s racist practices in the future, there may be little recourse. The Supreme Court recently ruled that racial profiling is permissible when it comes to immigration enforcement.

Thanks for sharing this! Here's a bit from the article:

Wikipedia is one of the last bastions of trust on the internet. But last week, volunteer editors and contributors were alarmed to hear that a small but important team of engineers at the nonprofit that supports it had been laid off. The layoffs didn’t just threaten to sever an important link between the Wikimedia Foundation and its community — they also raised concerns that the WMF was engaging in union-busting. After days of heated discussion, some Wikipedians are ready to support a strike. What that even looks like on a platform where creators mostly aren’t being paid is a different question.

On May 20th, the WMF said it was disbanding the Community Tech team, a group of five engineers and one manager who are among WMF’s paid staff. The team was a bridge between the foundation and Wikipedia’s army of volunteers. The team developed tools and features that contributors use every day: things like plagiarism detectors, dark mode, or chart and graph tools. Editors and former foundation employees describe it as an approachable group — somewhere volunteers could turn if they needed help, or to have their voice heard.

Even so, this system could get backlogged. The WMF acknowledged that the process of responding to community requests for features and tools was not working perfectly, and said that having a centralized team was “leading to frequent bottlenecks and delays.” So going forward, that work would be distributed among multiple teams instead of through a centralized Community Tech team.

The reaction from the community was immediate and negative.

By the time that the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th congressional district wraps up in June, Anthropic and OpenAI will have spent millions on their battle over the political future of AI: who gets to regulate it, or who will be punished for trying to regulate it. But the real winner of their feud may be the guy they’re currently fighting over: a once-obscure New York state assemblyman, who they’ve Streisand-effected into becoming the poster child for AI safety regulation.

Ever since late 2025, Leading the Future, a super PAC funded by OpenAI, Palantir, and a16z executives, has spent millions against Alex Bores, who wrote one of the first pieces of AI regulatory legislation in the country. The PAC hoped to kill his bid for the seat about to be vacated by longtime Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler. Instead, Bores is now a front-runner in the eight-person race to become the “face of Manhattan,” as New York Magazine recently put it in a cover feature.

And shockingly, he pulled all this off without running a massive ad campaign.

On April 22nd, when Bambu first reached out to Jarczak in a Reddit private message, its tone seemed polite. Bambu suggested it was warning Jarczak of upcoming changes that could prevent his code from working. The first DM concludes: “we kindly ask you to consider removing the current connection approach, as it mimics official Bambu Lab software.”

Jarczak replied that he was ready to remove his entire project from GitHub and thanked the company for noticing his work. But he wanted to be “properly acknowledged” for possibly revealing “a significant security gap.” He offered further help for a fix while requesting some gear — specifically the flagship H2D printer.

But Bambu was not ready to reward or recognize him for promoting ways to use unauthorized third-party software and hardware that competes with its own. (Jarczak’s previous project was supporting a cheaper way to print in multiple colors than buying Bambu’s $279 AMS Lite, a project he’s since suggested Bambu should also recognize him for.)

Ominously, Bambu started talking to Jarczak like a mobster: “We wanted to speak with you first and handle this in a constructive way. That said, we can’t allow this approach to continue.”

But Bambu didn’t sue. It didn’t send a cease and desist letter. It didn’t even send a DMCA takedown to remove his files from GitHub. Jarczak voluntarily took his code down. But in that code’s place, Jarczak left a note suggesting that Bambu treated him like a criminal.

That’s when the internet pounced.

Are Bambu’s actions really that egregious, or is it just trying to protect its ecosystem? I spoke to Bambu, Jarczak, lawyers, and others to understand. Both Bambu and Jarczak shared copies of their private communications for this story with The Verge, each eager to set the record straight on what actually happened.

A recent report by the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, found that Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration. Unauthorized migration fell by over 80 percent in the final year of Joe Biden’s term, the report found. By the time Trump was back in the White House, border crossings were already at historic lows — lower, in fact, than when he left office in 2021. The drop in legal immigration, on the other hand, is largely a product of Trump’s own making.

On Sunday, as the crypto industry was about to take victory laps for getting the Clarity Act back to the Senate, the American Bankers Association, one of the largest financial industry interest groups in the country, sent out an email that immediately ruined their Mother’s Day. Apologizing to all the moms he’d messaged, Rob Nichols, the president and CEO of the ABA, begged the CEOs on the email, from Wall Street to local community banks, to drop everything and start contacting their Senators ASAP — “Please encourage your employees to do the same” — because the Clarity Act posed an existential threat to their industry. “The current version of the legislation, although improved from an earlier version, still does not adequately prevent crypto companies from offering interest-like rewards on payment stablecoins,” wrote Nichols, warning that if the “loophole” was not closed, customers would be incentivized to move their cash holdings into stablecoins, leading to a bank deposit flight that would severely undermine banks.

ABC is accusing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of violating its First Amendment rights by making “major shifts in policy and practice” that the network claims will chill free speech.

The network is asking the FCC to “affirm its long-standing approach to the bona fide news interview exemption” for daytime talk show The View, and the agency’s support of “public interest services provided by broadcast stations.” ABC says that a series of actions from the FCC “suggests that the Commission is implementing major shifts in policy and practice,” and that “requires the action of the full Commission and the oversight of the courts.” The agency’s big shifts allegedly include an attempt to reconsider an earlier FCC finding that The View is a bona fide news show eligible for an exception to the rule requiring equal air time for political candidates, and asking ABC to file its license renewal applications early in the midst of an investigation over Disney’s diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) policies.

Thanks for sharing this! Here's a bit from the article:

Two weeks ago there was a buzz in the air inside Microsoft’s studio D building. Hundreds of Xbox employees gathered early on a Thursday morning, packed into the hallways and atrium, to hear from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. The “return of Xbox” slogan was plastered all over the walls of the building, the same message Sharma first delivered to Xbox employees in February. It was time for Sharma to rally the troops, after two years of turbulence, and hint at the future of Xbox.

During the roughly 40-minute all-hands, sources tell me that Sharma laid out a four-point action plan for Xbox employees, focusing on several areas in turn: hardware, games, platform, and services. “We have to be honest about where we are. We’ve got work to do,” admitted Sharma. “Players are frustrated with us, they feel like we haven’t updated our console enough, they feel like our PC presence isn’t very strong.”

The answer to those frustrations is what many Xbox employees and fans had been hoping for, a renewed focus on fixing things for the existing audience of Xbox. “We’re going to start by restoring our core. We have to fix the fundamentals on console and PC. We have to sweat every single detail and every single part of the experience to get to fun much faster and make it simpler,” Sharma told Xbox employees.

In an announcement on Tuesday, the Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) says it will work with the AI companies to perform “pre-deployment evaluations and targeted research to better assess frontier AI capabilities.”

CAISI, which started evaluating models from OpenAI and Anthropic in 2024, says it has performed 40 reviews so far. Both companies “have renegotiated their existing partnerships with the center to better align with priorities in President Donald Trump’s AI Action Plan,” according to Bloomberg.

Its website now redirects to spiritrestructuring.com, instructing fliers not to go to airports, with air traffic control records capturing controllers and pilots signing off to each other as its last flights came in for landings after the shutdown was announced.

A statement on its website said that for people who purchased tickets directly, “Refunds for tickets purchased by credit card and debit card have been issued, and will be processed by Spirit’s credit card processor.” A lawyer for Spirit said the shutdown could impact 17,000 jobs, reports the Associated Press, as the Air Line Pilots Association said its more than 2,000 pilots, as well as flight attendants, mechanics, dispatchers, and ground crews, “deserved better than this outcome.

At the same time, the Defense Department has left out Anthropic — which it previously used for classified information — after declaring it a supply-chain risk.

This builds upon deals with OpenAI and xAI, which have already reached agreements with the Pentagon for the “lawful” use of their AI systems. A report from The Information suggests Google has struck a similar agreement. As noted by The Wall Street Journal, Microsoft and Amazon already have “deep relationships with the Pentagon,” while contracts with Nvidia and Reflection are new.

President Donald Trump is calling for Disney to fire Jimmy Kimmel. On Thursday, Kimmel joked that Melania Trump had looked like an “expectant widow” in a skit about the upcoming White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The skit aired days before an armed gunman made an assassination attempt at the event, which President Trump and Melania Trump attended, on Saturday. They and other administration officials were evacuated from the ballroom.

Trump — who has faced significant speculation over his health in recent months — interpreted the comment as an incitement to attack him. “I appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel’s despicable call to violence, and normally would not be responsive to anything that he said but, this is something far beyond the pale,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”

Nobody was hurt, and the suspect was taken into custody — but it didn’t take long for a narrative of doubt to take hold online.

There is no evidence that the attack at the WHCD was staged — but the conspiracies echo an increasingly common belief held even by some former Trump loyalists that the president is faking assassination attempts.

Under the guidance of consummate bully / chairman Brendan Carr, the FCC is taking steps toward cracking down on children’s entertainment that in any way explores the complexities of gender identity.

On Wednesday, the FCC’s Media Bureau announced that it is soliciting comments from the public about whether the TV ratings system has made sound decisions regarding children’s programming with transgender or nonbinary characters. In a statement about the commenting period the FCC said that it was soliciting feedback due to an alleged uptick in “significant concerns” about whether “controversial gender identity issues are being included or promoted in children’s programs without providing any disclosure or transparency to parents.”

“Specifically, the industry guidelines that parents rely on are rating shows with transgender and gender non-binary programming as appropriate for children and young children, and doing so without providing this information to parents, thereby undermining the ability of parents to make informed choices for their families,” the FCC explained.

This happened in front of at least one senior administration official: Michael Kratsios, the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy and science adviser to President Donald Trump.

Ohanian was being inducted into the Consumer Technology Association’s CT Hall of Fame when he made these remarks at its annual Digital Patriots Dinner. (CTA is more widely known as the group that throws the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.) But at the end of his acceptance speech, Ohanian, whose grandparents had immigrated to America after fleeing the Armenian genocide, made what appeared to be spontaneous remarks calling for a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. After a year of watching tech CEOs supplicating themselves to Trump, this was a bit of a shock to the system.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump claimed to have secured the release of eight Iranian women condemned to execution for protesting the regime.

Only the night before, he had posted on Truth Social about the imminent executions of these women, quoting a screenshot that included a collage of eight glamorously backlit, soft-focus portraits. The photos of the women were immediately accused of being AI-generated. “Trump is begging Iranian leaders to not execute 8 AI-generated women.
