Nice, just hope the show can get back to the better Season 01 vibe. I had very mixed feelings on Season 02. Parts of it were better then Season 01, but overall it was worse IMHO. Awesome addition though.

?Oh, Kathy?s never [played] someone this bad,? Ryan Murphy revealed to TVLine with a laugh at PaleyFest Wednesday night, where he was honored with the event?s inaugural Icon Award. ?Her [character] is a bad, bad woman!?

While most details surrounding the acclaimed actress? buzzy new role are being kept under wraps, Murphy couldn?t help but raise fans? expectations just a teensy bit more by promising that Bates? Horror Story nemesis is ?five times worse than [her] Misery character ? which is why she liked it.

?When I pitched this to Kathy, her mouth was drop-jawed because what I was pitching actually happened,? Murphy continued. ?It?s a true event? You?ll see. It?s some good stuff.?

?Jessica told me in Season 1 that Kathy was a huge fan of the show, so I just put that in the back of my mind,? the prolific producer explained. ?When we were crafting this season, I found this character ? a true-life character ? so I called Kathy and said, ?I don?t know if you want to do TV again, but I?ve got this character?? She said, ?I love you and I love the show. Lemme think for two weeks? ? and then she called me in an hour and said, ?I love it! I?ll do it!? It was great.?

    • Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic has accused Alibaba of using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from Claude on a huge scale. According to a report from Reuters, Anthropic told US lawmakers that operators linked to Alibaba and the company’s Qwen AI team generated 28.8 million exchanges with Claude between April 22 and June 5, 2026. That is a lot of Claude conversations, but Anthropic says this was not ordinary chatbot use. The company believes the accounts were part of a coordinated effort to collect answers that could help train or improve rival AI systems. The alleged campaign reportedly focused on some of Claude’s most valuable skills, including software development, multi-step reasoning, and agentic tasks. In practical terms, that means getting an AI model to plan and complete work across several stages rather than simply answering a single question. This is called 'distillation,' where AI companies use outputs from a larger model to train a smaller and cheaper one. The smaller model learns to imitate useful parts of the more capable system without needing the same amount of computing power. The distillation process isn't automatically suspicious, but the problem comes when one company gathers another provider's outputs without permission and at an industrial scale. Also, this does not mean Alibaba obtained Claude’s source code, model weights, or original training data. Instead, Anthropic claims the accounts repeatedly asked Claude carefully designed questions and collected the answers. Those answers could then be used as training material for another model. Anthropic has made similar accusations against DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax earlier this year. As Neowin previously reported, Anthropic said those three companies collectively generated more than 16 million Claude exchanges through roughly 24,000 accounts. Anthropic says the new campaign produced almost twice as many exchanges in a matter of weeks. Anthropic reportedly told lawmakers that the campaign could help Chinese AI developers approach the capabilities of its Mythos Preview model. Mythos is focused on advanced cybersecurity work, including finding and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities. via Reuters | Photo via DepositPhotos.com

      An Indian manufacturer that assembles roughly one-third of Apple's iPhones and supplies semiconductor components to Tesla confirmed Monday that attackers had stolen and publicly published a 630-gigabyte cache of confidential files — including engineering blueprints stamped "TRADE SECRET," a 52-page quality inspection document for iPhone circuit board components, and cryptographic certificates that security experts say could be weaponized in follow-on attacks. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319019/20260624/apple-tesla-supplier-tata-electronics-confirms-630-gb-data-theft-iphone-specs-dark-web.htm

      I don't think it was ever a big question. In fact, I don't think anyone ever asked about how clocks work on Mars.

      I don't know what the price difference is between a 5GbE and a 10GbE part, but it seems that putting a 10GbE port in might be a bit more 'standard'.
