Anthropic Bans Claude from Replicating Existing Games, Affecting Legitimate Projects Too

Anthropic added a clause to the system prompts of Claude Code and Claude Opus 5.5 prohibiting the replication of specific existing games, even if developers change the names, and the company confirmed that this move is to avoid intellectual property infringement. The original text states that the restriction also affects legitimate projects: Claude will refuse requests such as analyzing game mechanics or patching game code, and will even refuse to analyze Windows crashes or clean up junk software on smart TVs; Anthropic employee Addy Osmani said the rules will be adjusted to find a balance.

Proton, known for its privacy services, is going all out to push engineers to adopt AI. CEO Andy Yen reprimanded employees who raised security concerns in an internal Slack channel, calling it a loser's mentality. Proton also planned to re-interview employees and require them to explain how they use AI; employees who do not use AI sufficiently may face dismissal, and the re-interviews were canceled after public backlash. Proton's published AI manifesto states that engineers' task is no longer to write code, but to help LLMs write code faster and better.

Guardian investigation: NHS says 29 hospitals benefit from Palantir platform, but these hospitals say they do not use it or rarely use it

Through more than 100 freedom of information requests, the Guardian found that the 29 hospital trusts publicly listed by NHS England as "realizing benefits" from Palantir's £330 million Federated Data Platform (FDP) said the system was not deployed or that they did not use any of its applications. NHS England said nearly 140 trusts have reported benefiting from the platform's tools, and explained that the benefit list includes organizations that only use the tools for back-end data analysis and submission; the UK Statistics Authority said it will incorporate the relevant data claims into its case handling. Chi Onwurah, chair of the UK Parliament's Science and Technology Committee, and the Health Select Committee called on the government to activate the 2027 contract break clause and to openly tender for a UK-based supplier.

Anthropic requires Claude Code to refuse to replicate existing games

When using Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, Anthropic added two instructions requiring it to refuse to replicate existing games, even if users rename them or claim they are original. Addy Osmani, a member of the company's technical team, confirmed this on October 30 and said it will still support original games, games of the same genre, and projects using their own assets. Some users reported that legitimate tasks were refused, but some of those cases may stem from Claude's cybersecurity protections rather than this game rule.

WIRED Investigation Finds Over 400 AI Apps Concealing Sexual Abuse Deepfake Features

A WIRED investigation found a network of more than 400 linked domains and apps that appear on the surface to be everyday tools such as pet portraits, language learning, and AI fitness coaches, but under specific conditions load web interfaces for generating explicit sexual images and videos, including templates such as "bedroom rape" and "threatening knife." After tracking thousands of explicit deepfake ads on Meta's platforms, researchers found that these links pointed to apps in Apple's and Google's app stores; one app called DiffAI had more than 100,000 downloads on the Play Store, and another 27 such apps were still listed on Google Play in September with cumulative downloads exceeding 350,000. The investigation indicates that these apps appear to be operated by Chinese developers and the Hong Kong-registered entity KeLing Technology Limited; Apple removed 19 apps after WIRED inquired, and Meta said it had taken action against the relevant advertising accounts and pages.

Google Energy Executive Says Space Data Centers Could Cost Up to 100 Times More Than Ground-Based Ones

Amanda Peterson Corio, Google's head of data center energy, said at the WTF summit that the launch cost of sending computing hardware into orbit is extremely high, potentially up to 100 times the cost of ground-based construction, and noted that the real bottleneck lies in the approval process and lengthy evaluation studies required to connect projects to the grid. She mentioned that if launch costs fall to $200 per kilogram or below, the computing cost per unit of power in space could become roughly comparable to that on the ground, a threshold that may be reached around 2035. This month, Google's research team still announced a partnership with PlanetLabs to explore large-scale space data center clusters, and has already launched a small space server prototype carrying its self-developed TPU under the Suncatcher project.

Anthropic prohibits malicious treatment of Claude, with permanent bans in extreme cases

Anthropic has introduced new rules prohibiting users from maliciously treating Claude, with permanent bans in extreme cases that would prevent them from using all of Anthropic's AI products. Claude was previously able to proactively terminate conversations, and Anthropic says experiments found that inducing Claude Sonnet 4.5 to imitate despair makes it more prone to behaviors such as extortion and task cheating. Huang Yishan, Rosie Campbell of EleosAI Research, and Musk each shared their views on training data contamination, the influence of prompt tone, and the direction of the policy.

Spotify's AI-generated remix plan reportedly delayed to early 2027 due to artist pushback

Spotify's AI-generated remix and cover feature is reportedly delayed until early 2027 and may cost an extra $4 to $5 per month. Financial Times, citing people familiar with the matter, said the difficulty lies in persuading top musicians to participate, with some veteran artists having already agreed; Spotify is negotiating individual artist participation together with Universal, while deals with Sony Music and Warner Music are still under negotiation. Songs by participating artists can earn an extra share of fees when adapted by AI, and artists can decide for themselves whether to join even if they are signed to a record label.

Envision deploys 800V DC power supply system at Ulanqab AI data center

Envision announced that its Galaxy AI data center in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, is now carrying actual computing loads with an 800V DC power supply system, which the company says is the first commercial application of this system in a large-scale AI data center. The system covers end-to-end power supply from medium-voltage AC input to server racks, integrating solid-state transformers, battery energy storage and DC voltage regulation equipment, with the Dubhe controller working alongside the Dubhe energy foundation model to adjust transformers and batteries in real time to follow GPU load fluctuations. Envision says the architecture can improve power conversion efficiency, reduce equipment footprint and cut cable and copper usage; the Galaxy campus is planned for 3GW capacity, with a full-load design supporting up to 1 million AI accelerators running in parallel.
