Meta is stepping up the fight against scams on its platforms by filing multiple lawsuits targeting companies and individuals in Brazil, China, and Vietnam who used deceptive tactics to run scam ads. The company said it has taken technical enforcement actions in these cases, including suspending payment methods used in the scams, disabling accounts linked to those operations, and blocking domains associated with scam sites. Meta shared this information with industry partners so other platforms can block the same offenders.

In 2011, NASA scientists met at the jet propulsion laboratory in California to do something very important: name the most and least scientifically plausible movies ever made, with the aim of nudging Hollywood towards doing a better job of depicting science. They decided that the most scientifically plausible movie ever made was Gattaca, the 1997 film about a future where gene editing had become commonplace.

The previous version focused on how Bing indexes and ranks websites. The rewrite extends that to Copilot and grounding API results, treating “grounding results and citations” as additional eligibility outcomes. New Meta Directive Guidance For AI Previously, the guidelines covered robots meta tags in general terms. Now Bing spells out how each directive affects AI-generated experiences.

Trump’s comments came just over an hour before the Pentagon’s deadline for Anthropic to allow unrestricted military use of its AI technology or face consequences — and nearly 24 hours after CEO Dario Amodei said his company “cannot in good conscience accede” to the Defense Department’s demands. Anthropic didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment to Trump’s remarks. At issue in the defense contract was a clash over…
