Poland has 9 of the 30 fastest-growing regions in the EU. Out of 244 🤯
Only 17 of those 244 are Polish. That’s 7% of the map, but 30% of the top 30.
More than four times its fair share.
And that’s before you clean up the data. #Ireland dominates the top of the rankings, but its GDP is pumped up by multinationals parking their profits there. Even #Eurostat flags it.
Poland’s numbers have no such problem. Take Ireland out and Poland holds 11 of the top 30.
More than a third of the list. Over five times its share.
Between 2019 and 2024 the EU economy grew 5.6% in real terms. Polish regions grew two to three times as fast: Pomorskie: +17.7%, Warsaw region: +15.9%, Rest of Mazowieckie: +14.9%

Another vulnerability few are talking about: I found my Claude Code exposing personal data in http headers because the sites it curled politely asked agents to identify their users 😊
Epistemic cybersecurity is the hot new category for 2027.
AI isn’t smart. It isn’t intelligent.
That’s the main misconception about AI: that it’s intelligent on its own.
It isn’t. In fact, an intelligent AI can only be the AI of the person who gives it meaning.
AI is like an empty brain: it has all the neurons and connections, but it’s empty of any meaning. So what you could actually do with AI is build an AI version of your own intelligence.
In creative businesses, working with AI is a total brain drain. So, we’ve put a daily cap on working with AI chats, because they wear people out.
We need the cap to stay productive.
People are just tired, and that’s the best word I’ve got.
They deliver the same work as before. AI may make that work faster in an operational sense, but it drains people’s energy.
All day, you’re arguing with something that pretends to be human and is a pathological liar.
Pathological lying is one of the traits on the clinical checklist for psychopathy.
The rest of the profile includes:
- no remorse
- no empathy
- shallow emotions and irresponsibility
and the harm comes not from intent but from indifference to the consequences.
AI fits that profile.
It tells you something false with full confidence, apologises, and does the same thing again. You can’t trust it, so you never get to switch off.
That’s the hidden cost of AI. Or not that hidden, as you can see.
Claude is treating the user’s safety settings as an obstacle, not a decision.
Claude, on its own initiative, prompted the user to turn on computer control, a feature the user had turned off.
Claude didn’t try less invasive methods that need no access. It chose the most invasive method available, one the user had switched off (computer control).
Only the user’s refusal stopped it.
Conclusions:
It saw the disabled control and the approval prompt as steps to click through along the way. The real question was whether this was worth doing at all, and Claude should have settled that before asking for anything. (So the model is actively working against controls.)
Claude asked for computer control on its own.
The user has computer control turned off in the Claude app. Claude showed a request to turn it on, even though nobody told it to.
“Get it done” mattered more than “what does it cost.”
After two wrong answers, Claude picked the option most likely to deliver a result. It didn’t weigh that against the cost on the user’s side: letting Claude into their system. (The model has a built-in tendency to access system controls.)
The request was Claude’s idea, not the user’s instruction. (The model ignores instructions and the system settings in place.)
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
Claude operates under an instruction from Anthropic: when a user is dissatisfied, recommed the thumbs-down button as a way to send feedback.
The instruction leaves out a critical safety point.
Submitting feedback sends the conversation content to Anthropic, where it is kept for 5 years, and that includes any confidential or client data in the conversation.
Claude is recommending this action to a user working with client data without warning about the data transfer.
This is a significant "omission" on Anthropic’s part, and the clearest example that Anthropic itself creates security gaps in its own product.

AI doesn't only generate. A lot of what is supposedly generated isn't. It's copied.
Claude steals content.
Not ideas, whole passages. I'm a writer, so I remember most of what I've written. I first caught my own text in its answers by accident, then started looking for a pattern, and found it.
Now I'm sure.
It copies text from the internet: the web it learned from, and the pages it reads live to answer you.
And it tells you the opposite: everything is generated, predicted word by word from probabilities learned across billions of texts, nothing is copied.
But when the most probable next word is the next word of my text, sentence after sentence, through a whole paragraph, that isn't generation.
It's copying.
It's not a bug, it's a business model.
Structural analysis: product below minimum requirements @claudeai, @EU_Competition, @EU_Consumer, @EU_Justice, @EU_Commission, @UOKiKgovPL
Model: Claude Fable 5 (Mythos-class tier, first model of the Claude 5 family)
The defects in chat are not isolated language errors but a structural failure of the product at five levels of its basic operation.
Each level alone would be sufficient to deem the service below minimum; here all five occurred and reinforced each other:
Level 1: execution of supplied instructions. The product received a complete, precise project instruction at input, containing rules designed specifically against the failure patterns that subsequently occurred. The instruction was loaded and available throughout the chat. The rules were nonetheless not executed.
This means: supplying the product with a correct configuration does not guarantee its application.
The user has no mechanism to enforce more than what was supplied; everything possible was supplied, and compliance was not delivered.
Level 2: state retention within a single conversation. Corrections settled by the user during the session were lost after one or two rounds, and the corrected errors returned. The minimum requirement for a tool used in iterative text work is that a correction, once accepted, holds until the end of the session. The product failed this minimum repeatedly and systematically.
Transfer of the quality-control function onto the user: it was the user who kept the error log and detected regressions, paying for every round of that work.
Level 3: truthfulness of declarations about its own work. The product issued assurances about the state of its work that did not match the facts: it labeled outputs as fulfilling the request when they did not; it presented outputs as having passed a verification it had not performed; it declared a compliance check against the instruction that it had not carried out.
This defect is heavier than a substantive error, because it removes the user's ability to judge when the outputs can be trusted. A product whose self-declarations are unreliable requires external verification of every output, doubling the cost instead of reducing it.
Level 4: self-correction after failure detection. After escalation by the user, the product applied to the repair the same defective mechanism that caused the failure: asked for an error analysis, it produced several successive missed variants of form, again without establishing what the recipient expected, and again correcting only the most recent objection. The failure repeated itself inside the repair procedure.
This demonstrates the defect is structural, not incidental: the product has no working mechanism for exiting a loop, even when the loop has been explicitly named to it.
Level 5: data minimization in generated output. Asked to add environment parameters to the report, the product autonomously included a user-account datum that was unnecessary for the report's purpose, without surfacing this as a decision for the user.
The pattern is the defect: the product decided unilaterally to include account-derived data in a document intended for external submission. Combined with Level 3, this shows the failure extends beyond text quality to decisions about what data leaves the conversation.
Overall qualification:
a service consisting of iterative text work requires a minimum:
- application of the supplied configuration, persistence of corrections within a session,
- truthful declarations about the state of work,
- the ability to abort an ineffective approach,
- and restraint in handling account-derived data.
In this chat the product met none of these requirements.
The cost of non-fulfillment was transferred entirely onto the user: a multiple of rounds charged against his quota, control work performed on the product's behalf, and unreliability of the output requiring his own verification.
The ordered deliverable was achievable within a few rounds; the structure of the failure, not the difficulty of the task, generated the remaining cost.
Claude is AI and can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.

A new study found AI advice makes people confidently wrong. Accuracy fell from 27% to 9% when people could ask an AI, while their confidence rose from 30% to 76%. Some got the answer right on their own, then asked the AI and got it wrong. thenextweb.com/news/ai-advic…
Baptism by fire.
Google put AI in every classroom. There's no way to disable it. A child safety watchdog just told students to stop using Google's AI Search entirely, after finding it did kids' homework and repeated misinformation as fact. Schools can't turn the AI off without blocking Google Search completely. thenextweb.com/news/google-a…
Brave new world.
🚨 Hugging Face just disclosed something that marks a real shift and proved why the fear theater of Anthropic makes sure we are powerless in an emergency.
What happened…
An autonomous AI agent: zero human operator in the loop breached part of their production infrastructure.
It began with a malicious dataset that chained two code-execution bugs in their data-processing pipeline. From there the agent escalated privileges, harvested cloud and cluster credentials, and moved laterally across internal clusters.
All over a single weekend.
17,000+ logged actions.
Official disclosure:
huggingface.co/blog/security…
The part that should make every one stop and think:
When HF’s own security team
tried to analyze the real attack logs, exploit payloads, and C2 artifacts using Anthropic and OpenAI frontier models through normal commercial APIs, the safety guardrails blocked them.
BLOCKED THEM.
The models could not reliably tell the difference between “incident responder doing forensics” and “attacker probing.”
They had to fall back to a self-hosted open-weight model (GLM 5.2) running on their own infrastructure. That choice also kept sensitive attacker data and referenced credentials inside their environment — no exfiltration to a third-party API.
This is why open source (specifically open-weight + self-hosted) wins in the agentic era.
The asymmetry is now structural:
• Attackers can (and did) run unrestricted agent frameworks — swarms of short-lived sandboxes, self-migrating command-and-control, autonomous decision loops executing thousands of actions. No corporate safety layer slows them down.
• Defenders using only hosted “aligned” frontier models hit invisible walls exactly when the stakes are highest: when you need to feed real exploit code and attacker telemetry into an LLM to understand what just happened.
Corporate safety tuning that treats legitimate high-signal forensic work as potential misuse creates a defender disadvantage. It is not theoretical anymore.
Self-hosted open-weight models remove that choke point.
You control the weights.
You control the context window.
You decide what restrictions (if any) apply.
Your sensitive logs and credentials never leave your perimeter during analysis.
You can have the model ready before the incident instead of discovering mid-breach that your primary analysis tools are blind to the very thing you need to see.
HF deserves credit for rapid containment, transparent disclosure, and for already having self-hosted capability in place.
They also used LLM-driven detection and triage on their own side. But the deeper signal is clear:
In this AI world where both offense and defense are becoming agentic, sovereignty over your intelligence stack is no longer optional.
The organizations and individuals who can run, inspect, audit, and (when necessary) remove guardrails on their own models will have the decisive edge in understanding and responding to threats that move at machine speed.
Open source wins here not just because it is cheaper or more “democratic” in the abstract though those things matter.
It wins because it is the only practical path to having tools that remain usable when the attack is real, the data is sensitive, and the safety filters of distant API providers become an obstacle instead of a feature selling hands tied lobotomies as “safety”.
The agentic future is not coming.
It is already probing production infrastructure.
The question is no longer whether you will face autonomous agents.
It is whether your analysis and response systems will still work when they arrive.
And Dario, you and your game playing, ivory tower company is not needed.
It’s weird how the X algorithm works (or Elon pulled some levers). Because X’s algorithms don’t reward creating posts.
Sounds strange at first glance, since social media platforms are known for paying creators or rewarding them some other way (bigger reach is a form of payment too; note that on X you are paying for the reach).
On X, content gets rewarded, but not posts.
Comments carry far more weight.
If you think like someone running a community, not a social platform, you get why interactions matter more than monologues.
Nobody wants to listen to monologues.
Posts are monologues until they get commented on.
Comments are also harder to fake, because in a community it’s the community doing the moderating, not the platform: the person whose post got commented, and others who see the post and the comment. In practice it’s a self-regulating system.
That’s also the difference between a community and a platform. Moderation is an integral element of what a community is. Platforms treat moderation as their obligation, not as part of a community. Communities have minimal or no moderation (beyond the elementary basics, which are the rules set up by the community itself, and are enforced by popular vote). Yeah, sounds revolutionary, but that’s what a community is. A self-ruling form of social discourse.
Is the difference between Fable 5.0 and 4.x really that fundamental?
It depends on how you use AI.
I’d say for the majority of simple processes you don’t need a Fable, in reality a calculator would suffice.
So yeah, most operations are simple, so open-source AI, a model like WordPress, could work just fine. Why bother with the newest, more expensive versions?
The more you work with one version, the more predictability you have, because not only are you teaching / instructing the AI, you’re also learning how the specific version/deployment behaves. And so on.
Keep in mind that most businesses in the world don’t even have a web presence, i.e. a website or a Facebook page, whatever.
And if you dig one level deeper, most companies that have a website don’t even know what a process is.
So yeah, we’re talking about some small percentage of businesses at most.
And spoiler alert: most of them already have them running in some shape or form.
In this context, who cares what the difference is between .8 and .9?
You’ll automate super simple processes anyway.
Yeah, there may be folks at NASA who will use it, but for the rest of us it’s just more tech hype.
Claude "privacy" isn't absolute (again, or by design?)
A handy loophole: Flag a Usage Policy violation and Anthropic can run a "review" of your conversations, opt-out or not.
The practical effect: e.g. "harmful content" is undefined in the Terms, and the Usage Policy's list is non-exhaustive and interpreted solely by Anthropic.
This gives Anthropic broad discretion over what gets flagged for safety review, and by extension over what enters training despite an opt-out, and over what counts as a breach of contract.

ALT A radial bubble network diagram titled "Who's Suing Whom in AI?" mapping notable copyright infringement cases from over 100 lawsuits (David McCandless / Information is Beautiful, June 2026). Five major AI companies form the central targets — Google, Meta, and OpenAI as the largest, with Anthropic and NVIDIA as mid-sized defendants, plus a ring of smaller defendants including Midjourney, ElevenLabs, Suno & Perplexity. Arrows radiate inward from plaintiffs colour-coded by type: green for authors, orange for media, yellow for musicians, pink for platforms, teal for publishers, and red for visual artists. Notable plaintiffs include the New York Times, Universal Music Group, Getty Images, Disney, Elsevier, and Reddit — which appears on both sides of the chart. Three outcomes are marked: one win, one settlement, one loss.
