Anthropic and the US government are once again at odds, this time over the Claude Fable 5 model that either is, or is not, or might be, far too dangerous to release to the world. The Verge's Hayden Field explains what's going on with Fable, Mythos, and the whole idea of American AI exceptionalism
I'm not switching from GNOME anytime soon, but KDE Plasma 6.7 is looking pretty great.
Herdr is an agent runtime that runs inside your terminal. Keep your shell, SSH setup, fonts, and keybinds; add tmux-style persistence, mouse-native panes, blocked, working, and done agent state, and an API agents can drive.
There’s a handmade, retro-looking radio sitting in our office that plays only four pre-programmed stations, none of which are run by humans. This is our latest project at Andon Labs, where we’re exploring what happens when AI runs real businesses autonomously. In the past, we’ve let our AI agents run a store, a cafe, and various vending machines. Now, though, we wanted to see if they could run a company in the media sector.
247,000 GitHub stars. Active commits. A loud subreddit. And a huge chunk of OpenClaw's early users have already quietly quit. This is the rise and fall of the fastest-growing open-source project of 2026 — and what the Twitter coverage mostly skipped.

I always try to avoid falling into Software Brain mentality, but it's not always easy.
I was working on a personal project, debugging a Native Messaging helper I had written for it. In the process I needed to check what Brave Browser had registered on my laptop. What I found was a file I had never put there. It was not mine. I had not installed it. I had not authorised it. I had not even been told about it.
It was from Anthropic.
Have you heard about this new app called BoopSnoop? It launched in the first week of January 2020, and almost immediately, it was downloaded by four people in three different time zones. In the years since, it has remained steady at four daily active users, with zero churn: a resounding success, exceeding every one of its creator’s expectations.
Why is Mastodon the best social medium in 2026? Picture 1: If I share a post with some objectively good news, it gets 97 boosts and 140 likes. Picture 2: If I share the same post on Threads, it gets zero interactions — zero! — because it contains a link to the competing social medium YouTube, and on Threads, Mark Zuckerberg has decided that the algorithm should not promote such content. Threads is where the rich decide what we can talk about. On Mastodon, we decide.
Brevity was always a discipline. Now it’s a statement. When everything around you is excessive by default, choosing fewer words takes courage. It says: I thought about this. I edited. I respected your time more than I needed to show my work.

It’s time to admit, before God and the good readers of Ars Technica, that I have a problem. I love roguelikes. Reader, I can’t get enough of them. If there’s even a whisper of a hot new roguelike on Steam, I’m there. You may call them arcane, repetitive, or maddeningly difficult; I call them heaven.
