New proposed bill would make video games something you own, not rent
Stop Killing Games lost in Brussels and Sacramento. A federal bill picks up where they left off
Why it matters: Two years after Ubisoft's The Crew went dark and took 12 million copies with it, the question of whether you own the games you buy has finally reached Congress.

A Senate briefing, a jailbreak, a rushed export ban, and a rare Five Eyes alarm
Why it matters: Ten days ago, Anthropic was happy to announce its most advanced AI model was going public. Today, almost nobody can use it. On June 12, the Trump administration directed the company to restrict Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to US citizens only – unable to verify nationality at scale, Anthropic's only option was a full global shutdown, cutting off allies, researchers, and its own foreign-national employees with 90 minutes' notice. It's the first time the US government has applied export controls to an AI model, and the consequences are still unfolding.
