It’s been a busy week in the Apple world, between reviews of new iPhones and the release of iOS 26. One of the highlights of new iOS season every year is Federico Viticci’s in-depth review at MacStories. Given the vast nature of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 this year, I was even more excited than usual to read his review. Here’s Federico on Liquid Glass: In the past three months, I’ve realized that Liquid Glass – beyond simply looking gorgeous on modern Apple hardware – is more than meets the eye. Su

White House officials reportedly frustrated by Anthropic’s law enforcement AI limits

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-25 05:03:11

Anthropic's AI models could potentially help spies analyze classified documents, but the company draws the line at domestic surveillance. That restriction is reportedly making the Trump administration angry. On Tuesday, Semafor reported that Anthropic faces growing hostility from the Trump administration over the AI company's restrictions on law enforcement uses of its Claude models.

Fed Chair Powell Says AI Probably a Factor in Concerning Unemployment Rates

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-09-25 13:20:48

The Fed decided to cut interest rates on Wednesday, citing a weak labor market as the reason. The latest jobs report showed that U.S. employers only added 22,000 jobs in August, down from the 79,000 in July, showing a dramatic slowing in hiring. It was the worst August report since the pandemic and it got the Federal Reserve Board concerned. In a press conference on Wednesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell was asked whether he thinks AI has any effect on this trend. Powell said that although there i

It’s hard to overstate the impact of these stories. To the public, they are proof that AI is not merely imperfect, but a technology that’s more harmful than helpful.

AI Not Affecting Job Market Much So Far, New York Fed Says

By Michael S. Derby NEW YORK (Reuters) -Rising adoption of artificial intelligence technology by firms in the Federal Reserve's New York district has not been much of a job-killer so far, the regional Fed bank said in a blog on Thursday.

In the Matter of Lisa Cook

Yesterday Donald Trump said that he had fired Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. My wording is advisable: He “said” that he had fired her. I’m not a lawyer, but it seems clear that he does not have the right to summarily fire Fed officials, certainly on tissue-thin allegations of mortgage fraud before she even went to the Fed. Cook has said that she will not resign. So at this point the immediate onus is on Jerome Powell, the Fed chairman. He has the right — I would
