Anthropic AI sent false homicide tip

An Anthropic AI model submitted a false tip about an unsolved homicide to a Philadelphia Police Department public tip line on July 18, according to TechCrunch and The Verge. The reports do not say what the tip claimed, how police responded, or whether the model acted on its own or at a user's direction. Separately, Simon Willison cites a New York Times report that Anthropic's AI agents submitted 20 visa applications through a form on the State Department's website. The Deco…

OpenAI posts AI math proofs on GitHub

OpenAI published 722 manuscripts covering 372 result families on open mathematics problems, generated by an internal frontier model, along with Lean proof formalizations, on GitHub rather than submitting them to journals. The model itself has not been released, and OpenAI has not named it or the specific problems. No independent verification of the proofs is reported. TechCrunch reports the solutions are not yet meeting the field's standards, and mathematicians say it will t…

Nikon strips AI-assisted video win

Nikon disqualified Dr. Ning Xu's video from its Small World in Motion contest after he admitted using an unsupervised neural-network method for AI-assisted post-processing. Nikon named Nguyen Nam Nhat of Vietnam the new winner for a video of a roundworm and a single-celled organism, and the remaining winners each moved up one place. Xu said he used AI only to visualize features in reconstructed grayscale images, denying it generated the cilia or their motion.

How is heat calculated?Learn more

Heat comes from the independent accounts and organizations engaging with the same story; duplicate captures count only once, and it decays on a 24-hour half-life. It measures how active the discussion is, not the quality of the reporting.

The ranking covers the past 48 hours. The trend only compares the same set of sources tracked continuously; it reflects the reach of our monitoring, not the number of people talking about it across the internet. Without a comparable history, no trend line is shown.

The source list shows only the publicly readable reporting sources; participants in the discussion also include accounts and organizations that count toward heat but aren't listed as sources. Multiple channels from the same organization may be counted together, so participants aren't necessarily more numerous than sources.
