BBC director-general Tim Davie said the BBC "profoundly regrets" the inclusion of the N-word in the broadcast of this year's BAFTAs, which he characterized as unintentional and the result of a "genuine error."

Jordan and Delroy Lindo were onstage during the February 22 awards ceremony.

Ultimately this is about our warfighters having the best tools to win a fight and you can't trust Claude isn't secretly carrying out Dario's agenda in a classified setting. This statement from an administration official encapsulates the Pentagon's core concern regarding Anthropic's involvement in military AI deployment and the perceived trustworthiness of the Claude system in sensitive defense contexts.
Lee says in that same post that he "got a random cold call from some woman asking about numbers and told her some bs, did not expect an article about it." But that call occurred because Cluely's public relations representative emailed TechCrunch and offered to make Lee available for a story.

A reporter at Ars Technica, whose beat was specifically reporting on AI, was fired after it turned out that a piece he had co-authored contained quotes fabricated by the AI tools he was using. Ars Technica has subsequently retracted the original story entirely, publishing an editor's note, stating that it was 'a serious failure of our standards,' but that they believe it to be an 'isolated incident.'
The report pulled U.S. organic traffic estimates using Ahrefs for ten major English-language tech publications, including Wired, CNET, Mashable, The Verge, and PC Mag. Growtika then compared each publication's peak traffic month in 2024 to January 2026. The publications had a combined peak traffic of 112 million in 2024.

I was simply speaking my mind. People tend to read too much into things that I do.

It's now a week since I hosted the BAFTAs. What should have been an evening celebrating creativity as well as diversity and inclusion turned into a trauma triggering shitshow. I'm so sorry for all the pain Black people have felt at hearing that word echoed round the world. I'm so sorry the Tourettes community has been reminded of the lack of understanding and tolerance that abounds regarding their condition.
You do not have permission to use it as I've told you numerous times in DMs. Shouldn't have laid off all those reporters if you wanted locker room content.
The MAGA crew does relatively little reporting, so most coverage of the US military is now happening from outside the Pentagon's five walls. Journalists from some traditional outlets were allowed to attend this morning's press conference with Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine. But Hegseth only answered Q's from his chosen outlets.
