CHINA IS ASSHOE: Anthropic disrupts Russian, Chinese AI campaigns targeting its Claude models.
Anthropic on Thursday said it had disrupted several alleged malicious uses of its Claude models over the past eight months, including a suspected Russia-linked cyber espionage campaign and efforts by Chinese AI firms it accused of trying to extract and replicate Claude’s capabilities.
Cybercriminals and state-backed hackers were increasingly using AI not just to assist with tasks but to orchestrate and execute large portions of cyberattacks, Anthropic said in its latest Threat Intelligence report, adding that humans were often overseers rather than hands-on operators in the campaigns.
“A majority of the operations … were enabled by AI via direct execution or orchestration. The use of AI went beyond simple questions and responses from a chatbot but rather involved the use of multi-agent frameworks executing” tasks, Anthropic said.
Anthropic said it had disrupted what it described as attacks from seven China-based labs during that period. Among the labs Anthropic named were tech giant Alibaba, Moonshot, DeepSeek and Xiaomi.
More: “Anthropic said it observed more than 151 million exchanges it attributed to Alibaba between May and July 2026, peaking at nearly 3 million per day from more than 3,500 accounts it described as fraudulent.”

NOT UNEXPECTED: US Treasury yields surge as $6 billion bond buyback disappoints markets.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose above 4.85%, its highest level in nearly three years, before easing slightly.
The yield on the 30-year bond stood at 5.29%, up from 5.26% a day earlier. It reached 5.33% in August, its highest level since 2007.
Treasury yields influence interest rates across the US economy, meaning sustained increases can make mortgages, business loans and other forms of borrowing more expensive. Higher borrowing costs can also slow economic growth and weigh on share prices.
The rise came after the Treasury Department said it would buy back up to $6 billion of bonds maturing in 10 to 20 years on Thursday. This is three times the size of its previous long-dated buyback operation.
Bessent can play around on the margins — or maybe “rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic” is more apropos — but it’s hard to see rates coming down so long as Congress adds another two trillion dollars to the country’s MasterCard every years.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Any Moral Equivalence About 9/11 Is Pure Evil. “I’m glad I’m on the side that remembers the horror of 9/11 and still calls it a horror. The side that’s not electing politicians who think we had it coming. The side that doesn’t have Palestinian flags displayed in their United States congressional offices.”

AT LEAST NOBODY MENTIONED THE WAR: Nice Little Election You Won There – It’d Be a Shame If You Acted Like It Changed Anything.
There’s even been some surprising blowback on sainted figures within the German establishment once the smoke cleared and people could think somewhat calmly again.
Mutti Merkel might have a heavy heart over the results…
…but it’s not stopping accusing fingers from pointing in her direction, something that would have been nearly unthinkable in public before Sunday’s disaster. Merkel might well be Germany’s affectionate ‘Mutti’ or ‘mother,’ but she also literally gave birth to the AfD through her policies while chancellor.
It’s also a sign of the times that the slippery Merkel now claims never to have been a fan of the firewall, where she ripped Merz for reaching over it to pass a bill in January of 2025.

LAWRENCE PERSON: My Friend Was Murdered On Labor Day. “Andrew Wimsatt, a friend for over thirty-five years, a regular member of the Saturday Dining Conspiracy (and the movie night afterwards) and an all-around standup guy, was murdered on Labor Day.”
More:
I looked into whether some of the themes covered by this blog applied to Andrew’s murder, but as far as I can tell Ogbodiegwu was not an illegal alien and does not appear to have been released on bail for previous offenses in Travis County.
Even more, from another old online acquaintance:
Andrew was my friend. My heart is broken and I’m full of rage. He did not deserve to die like this. Fuck that piece of shit and everyone responsible for Andrew’s murder. FUCK THEM https://t.co/saEoTlp2QA

“Based on preliminary evidence and information developed so far, investigators believe the attack was a random act and that the victim and suspect were not known to one another,” according to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office.
UPDATE: He was a friend of David Burge, too. It seems like everyone in and around Austin knew and liked Andrew.
I am very saddened to learn that my friend @ajwimsatt was incomprehensibly murdered Monday. He was a gentle and generous soul, a frequent contributor to Dave's Car ID Service, and a big supporter of my son's music. He will be greatly missed.https://t.co/iAf4XZcv0A

Same goes for Brussels:
After the AfD's election win in Sachsen-Anhalt, Brussels is openly discussing freezing the state's EU funding — roughly €2.95 billion in the current budget period, about €500 million per year, making up ~20% of the state's investment spending.
The precedent is real.

SALENA ZITO: Flight 93 crash in Shanksville on 9/11: ‘The first Americans to fight back against terrorists happened here.’
In the days, months and years that followed, it was discovered that the passengers and crew of Flight 93 believed the plane was heading toward the White House or the Capitol and, to stop that tragedy, they revolted against the four hijackers in midair. All 40 of them died along with their captors.
Duppstadt and her sister-in-law closed the store early that day and went straight to the local school to collect her three children. She went home and held them close.
“You never think something would happen in a place like here. You hope if it does the community comes together.”

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS: A Remarkable Coalition Is Standing Up to the ‘Genocide’ Lie About Israel.
DOJ: Report Illegal Aliens Or Lose Welfare Funding. “With Trump47, normal Americans are back in charge again, and illegal aliens are being deported just as the law requires. Now the DOJ is telling state welfare agencies that if they want to keep receiving welfare funding, they have to report illegal aliens on their rolls.”
Maybe we’ll find out what those rolls are really worth.

NOVEMBER PREVIEW: Beto Talarico Was Outraged That Texas ‘Ignored God’s Messengers’ and Refused to Limit Gun Rights.
They rejected former U.S. Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke at the ballot box in 2018 when he ran against U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz on a platform that included strict gun control. National Democrat voters rejected him again in 2020 when he tried his hand at a White House bid. That campaign went so badly for him that he was forced to drop out before any primary election ballots were cast. Then he was crushed in the 2022 gubernatorial race against incumbent Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, with Texas voters again rejecting him by more than 10 points.
It turns out that yelling, “Hell yeah, we’re going to take your AR-15s,” from the debate stage isn’t a particularly effective way of winning over Texas voters.
Now, in 2026, Texas Democrats are once again running a candidate who proudly spouts the “ban modern sporting rifles” gun control mantra, hoping that maybe this time Texas gun owners will somehow vote differently.
Yeah, I have a hard time believing polls showing Beta-But-Weirder neck-and-neck with Paxton.
