wow these Gen AI companies are really leaning into their new scam that AI is alive "In a series of private meetings, the company consulted religious scholars to help instill morality into its A.I. models — and make the case that Claude could be conscious" www.nytimes.com/2026/…

  • Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah urged his company to skip Pope Leo XIV's May 25 encyclical launch over a passage rejecting machine consciousness.
  • The 40,000-word Magnifica Humanitas kept its line that AI has 'no moral conscience' despite private lobbying of the pope's advisers.
  • Since fall 2025, Anthropic has flown religious scholars to its offices under NDAs to debate whether Claude has moral standing.

A shipment of rare books was tracked by 404media... it ended up at an Amazon AI training facility, where they scan and destroy books. At worst, we are losing invaluable works. Regardless, they are stealing decades of knowledge without attribution. This needs to stop.

AI Weekly's analysis →
  • 404 Media hid an Apple AirTag in a roughly 1,000-book order sold on Biblio and followed it to an Amazon warehouse in Las Vegas.
  • The shipment terminated at Amazon's LAS8 site at 5801 Nicco Way, home to a team called VGT3 whose logo is a Tyrannosaurus rex clutching an open book.
  • Amazon told the outlet it 'purchases books through commercial channels'; the company classes its Nova family of models as 'frontier.'

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/…

Hack Reveals Suno AI Music Generator Scraped YouTube, Deezer, and Genius 404media.co
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • Leaked logs quantify scraping per platform: 2M+ YouTube clips, 62,117 Pond5 hours, 12,287 Deezer hours, 17,615 Genius hours, and roughly 1M podcast hours.
  • Suno publicly called the breach 'limited' and 'quickly contained' while withholding notification from customers whose emails, phone numbers, and Stripe records were exposed.
  • TechCrunch flags a distinct DMCA angle: deliberately circumventing YouTube's anti-scraping protections is a separate violation from copyright infringement in the underlying suits.

We devoted the entire (penultimate!) episode of Hard Fork to METR's investigation of the Hugging Face attack, and before I even woke up @deepa.bsky.social has scooped a *second*, previously unknown rogue OpenAI agent swarm attack www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Recent commentary

I'm trying out Duck Duck Go this week. I've been looking up best practices for SQL and Python lately. With Google, I'd eventually give up and see what the AI overview was referencing. Duck Duck Go has been pointing me to useful and relevant resources..which is what a search engine should do.

A new donut shop is opening by us. I was curious and went to look at their menu and was presented with a chatbot! Is everyone losing their mind?

My husband works for a healthcare org and we were talking about AI. The org's stance on AI is that you can use it as a tool but you have to verify the output. If anything goes wrong, then your license is on the line. My husband was irritated that tech people have no licensing and standards.

As I started working on switching from Software Engineering to Data Engineering, I had my doubts. Lately, I'm feeling better about my decision. Most of the Data Engineers I learn from don't push Gen AI. Instead they caution and emphasize on learning the fundamentals. They seem to be more realistic.

A study of 22K Data Engineering job posts show that only 7% ask for AI skills. Glad to hear it!

My 8yo's school had an open house today. We met her new teacher. I asked about computer usage in the classroom. She said "All computer usage will be purposeful. Btw we will not be using AI. AI has no place in 3rd grade." I was happy to hear that!

Heard a new term at the RightsxTech panel today: "tech solutionism". It is where people think that all social issues can be solved with tech. Something a lot of AI and tech founders need to keep in mind.
