    Google’s AI is sometimes confused if 2027 is next year.

    As noted on Bluesky, if you search “is it 2027 next year,” Google’s AI Overviews occasionally state that 2027 is two years from now. But this apparently isn’t even a new issue: when I got AI Overviews to mess up, it cited old Instagram and Reddit posts making fun of wrong responses to the same query.

    By the way, Google still isn’t showing an AI Overview when you search “disregard.” AI Overviews are going just great!

    Here’s the Instagram post that Google is sourcing from.

    Anthropic is making the security tools it’s used with Claude Mythos Preview just a bit more available.

    Upon request, “qualifying” customers can use things like skills, a Claude harness, and a threat model builder, Anthropic says as part of a bigger update about Project Glasswing.

    Anthropic also plans to expand Project Glassing to “additional partners” and has published a dashboard of open source vulnerabilities disclosed by Mythos Preview.

    The Texas AG is suing Meta and WhatsApp.

    Paxton alleges that Meta can access WhatsApp messages despite Meta’s claims that they are end-to-end encrypted. Meta spokesperson Andy Stone says that WhatsApp “cannot access people’s encrypted communications and any suggestion to the contrary is false.”

    It’s been a busy couple days for Paxton; my colleague Lauren Feiner just posted about a lawsuit he filed against Discord.

    Stephen Colbert’s final Late Show airs tonight.

    Catch it on CBS at 11:35PM. The episode has been shrouded in secrecy, but Deadline has some potential spoilers about who makes an appearance.

    If you want something fun to watch before the finale airs, check out Colbert’s interview with Jon Stewart from earlier this week. I also strongly recommend this interview Colbert did with People — he seems like a great human being.

    Meta’s new app, Forum, is focused on Facebook groups.

    The app, available on iOS, lets you browse groups that you’re a part of, make posts to groups, and ask questions to a chatbot to get information sourced from groups. Saw this one thanks to Matt Navarra.

    Take-Two still isn’t sharing GTA VI’s price.

    Marketing for the game will spin up this summer, and the company won’t share a price as part of its earnings announcements today, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told Variety. Zelnick told Bloomberg that preorders should begin alongside marketing.

    To both, Zelnick indicated that the game is indeed coming out on November 19th, which was a delay from May 26th (which itself was a delay).
