## Resource

A wave of AI-powered shopping scams is tricking consumers into buying from convincing fake websites, prompting OpenAI to roll out a new Lockdown Mode for ChatGPT. A fabricated speech falsely attributed to Namibia's president went viral across two continents — not just because it was convincing, but because it said what people wished their real leaders would say. Meta's new AI-generated content feed is already producing fabricated images, including one featuring two Queen Elizabeths. States are fighting back against AI's explosive infrastructure demands, with New York poised to become the first state to ban new large-scale data centers entirely. Communities in Utah and Indiana are also clashing with billion-dollar data center projects in dramatic fashion. In Washington, the Trump administration is reportedly in talks to take an equity stake in OpenAI — an unprecedented move that could reshape the relationship between government and commercial AI. Apple is gearing up for another major Siri reveal at WWDC 2026, with a lot to prove after its last AI promises fell flat. And Anthropic made a stunning announcement this week — calling for a potential pause on AI development while simultaneously revealing Claude is approaching a capability that safety researchers have long feared.
