The Department of Defense, known under the Trump administration as the Department of War, has just officially designated AI company Anthropic a "supply-chain risk" to national security. But Anthropic isn't buying it.

"We do not believe this action is legally sound, and we see no choice but to challenge it in court," Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wrote in a statement responding to the ongoing dispute. Amodei also emphasized that the designation does not affect the majority of Anthropic customers.

Anthropic is "proud of the work" it has done alongside the federal government in "supporting frontline warfighters with applications such as intelligence analysis, modeling and simulation, operational planning, cyber operations, and more," Amodei said.

The dispute began over the potential use of Anthropic's AI technology to carry out mass domestic surveillance, and to power autonomous weapons like drones. The relationship between Anthropic and the U.S. military deteriorated last week, after the AI company won a $200 million contact from the federal government — but sought guarantees that its technology would not be used for surveillance, or weapons that can fire without humans in the loop.  

The U.S. government would not agree to Anthropic's terms and threatened to designate the company a supply-chain risk, which it has now done. Trump also issued an executive order that tells every federal agency to stop using Anthropic's AI.

Amodei apologized for the leak of an internal memo, and confirmed recent reports that Anthropic and the Department of Defense have re-entered negotiations. If the two sides can't come to terms, Anthropic will assist the government in a transitional period, Amodei said.

The CEO also referenced the U.S. government's deal with OpenAI, made in the wake of the Anthropic dispute. Even OpenAI "characterized" its deal with the U.S. government as "confusing," he said.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was forced to address the deal after receiving significant blowback from users.

"Our most important priority right now is making sure that our warfighters and national security experts are not deprived of important tools in the middle of major combat operations," Amodei wrote. "Anthropic will provide our models to the Department of War and national security community, at nominal cost and with continuing support from our engineers, for as long as is necessary to make that transition, and for as long as we are permitted to do so."

As the Wall Street Journal previously reported, the U.S. military has already used Anthropic's Claude models to aid in carrying out strikes in Iran.

Two-factor authentication is a popular way to add another security measure to an online account. Unfortunately, an alarming number of services, applications, and websites still use SMS authentication for 2FA, which is one of the most insecure approaches around. If you can avoid using it, you should.

Some people have apparently fallen for chatbots so hard that there's a new sexuality forming: "AI-sexual."

That's according to AI companion company Joi AI. In a survey the company conducted last month of 2,500 Gen Z and millennial adults who actively use AI tools, 55 percent report considering themselves AI-sexual, or "more than open to experimenting with AI in a sexual or intimate context."

The dominating reason why these folks turn to AI for sexual exploration is that it feels easier and more comfortable to express their desires with AI as opposed to a human being (60 percent of participants said this).

While concerning, this makes sense given the research. Last year, when discussing why some Gen Z-ers would marry AI bots, clinical neuropsychologist Shifali Singh told Mashable that young adults with social anxiety may turn to AI to have a judgment-free interaction.

But as Kinsey scientist Justin Garcia told Mashable earlier this year, an important component of human relationships is the give-and-take. AI relationships are likely more transactional.

Joi AI found that AI-using young adults don't just get freaky with AI because it's less stressful than human interaction, though. Thirty-seven percent use it to practice flirting and dating scenarios, while 31 percent explore new kinks before trying them IRL. A quarter (25 percent) explore kinks they'd never try offline, too.

More than half of respondents (61 percent) said sexually exploring with AI has actively improved their "actual" sex life, while 65 percent said it's made them feel more sexy IRL.

It's also being used as a discovery tool, as 60 percent said AI has helped them discover sexual interests they didn't know they had. Twenty-nine percent said they use it to get ideas for partnered sex. Meanwhile, some people are into the sci-fi element of getting dirty with an AI (28 percent) — which is the Her factor of it all. Nearly half (49 percent) said they'd definitely consider having sex with an AI if the tech allowed for it.

Seeing as some AI users (even with human partners) are hooking up with their bots, it was only a matter of time before it became part of their sexual orientation. Even still, though, take this survey with a grain of salt — it was done by an AI companion company and a survey of those who actively use AI, after all.

I can’t be the only one who gets a small rush of accomplishment when I see the achievement pop-up appear while playing a game. I’m not exactly a completionist, but these bite-sized rewards help motivate me to keep going and to experiment with a game’s world and systems.

Hybrid vehicles are often associated with long-term savings, but the upfront price of a brand-new model can still be a major barrier for many buyers. The latest versions of the Prius offer impressive efficiency and modern technology, yet their price tags have steadily climbed in recent years. For shoppers focused on value, that makes the used market an increasingly attractive alternative.

Microsoft Outlook received a total redesign on Windows in 2023, based on the Outlook web app. Almost three years later, it’s still playing catch-up to the legacy Outlook client, and now Microsoft is delaying the full rollout for enterprise customers.

2025 was another year of movie magic, but only 10 films made the cut in the Academy's eyes to earn spots on the Best Picture Oscar nominations list. We found narrowing the best movies of the year down to only 10 to be impossible, instead opting for a list of the top 25. So, of course, there were bound to be a ton of snubs (and some welcome surprises) this year. (Zero nominations for Wicked: For Good? Nothing for Chase Infiniti or Paul Mescal? Preposterous!)

Even though we're a bit flabbergasted that a few of our favorites didn't make the list, the ones that managed to nab the nomination are definitely worth watching.

Want to get familiar with the best films of the year (at least by the Academy's standards) before the Oscars on March 15? We've rounded up how to watch all 10. Queue 'em up for a movie marathon that's sure to be one for the books.

Bugonia

The dynamic duo that brought us Poor Things — director Yorgos Lanthimos and actor Emma Stone — is back with Bugonia, a conspiracy caper that'll make you question everything. It also stars the fantastic Jesse Plemons as Teddy, a bike-riding beekeeper and conspiracy theorist who believes aliens live among us and are to blame for the current state of the world — one being the practical big pharma CEO Michelle Fuller (Stone). He and his cousin enact a plan to kidnap Michelle and uncover the truth.

Bugonia was one of Mashable's top 25 movies of 2025, coming in at No. 11, so we're not surprised the Academy gave it a nod for Best Picture. It also picked up nominations for Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actress in a Leading Role.

There are also significant discounts available for students, young adults, military personnel, first responders, medical professionals, and teachers. Of course, you can also rent or purchase the film at digital retailers like Prime Video for as low as $5.99.

F1

Perhaps the biggest surprise on this list, F1: The Movie stars Brad Pitt as legendary Formula 1 driver Sonny Hayes. After nearly three decades, he comes out of retirement to mentor a young hotshot rookie (Damson Idris) and lead a struggling team to victory. While it didn't earn a spot on our favorite films of 2025 list, audiences were obsessed with the film, flocking to theaters and giving it glorious reviews (currently a 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes). Besides Best Picture, it also picked up nominations for Best Film Editing, Best Sound, and Best Visual Effects.

Frankenstein

Guillermo del Toro has brought everyone's favorite monster back to life with a stirring new adaptation of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel. It stars Oscar Isaac as the titular doctor who is trying to overcome the childhood trauma of losing his mother (Mia Goth) by resurrecting an exquisite corpse (Jacob Elordi). As Mashable's Kristy Puchko writes in her review, "This misfit monster becomes a radiant analogy for self-love, as he is both horrid and beautiful, misunderstood and full of potential and love." Cracking the top five on our list of the best movies of 2025, we're happy the Academy gave Frankenstein its flowers. Beyond Best Picture, it's also nominated for Best Supporting Actor, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Sound, and Best Production Design.

Hamnet

Cracking the top 10 of Mashable's favorite films of 2025 list, Hamnet finds Academy Award–winning director Chloé Zhao back in the Oscar race. It's a heart-wrenching historical drama, based on the novel by Maggie O'Farrell, that offers a view of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and his mystical wife Agnes (Jessie Buckley) from a different lens. "When they lose their youngest son Hamnet (Jacobi Jupe), the pair weather their grief in vastly different ways," writes Mashable entertainment reporter Belen Edwards. Be sure you have a box of tissues nearby. In addition to its Best Picture nomination, Hamnet also earned six other nods, including Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Costume Design, Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Casting, and Best Directing. Unfortunately, our favorite sad boy, Paul Mescal, was snubbed.

Marty Supreme

Directed by Josh Safdie and distributed by A24, Marty Supreme is a major contender this awards season. Chalamet already won the Golden Globe for his performance and is now hoping to grab his first Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role. In the sports comedy, he stars as Marty Mauser — a man with a dream to achieve greatness and bring ping pong to the masses. It also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma (aka Tyler, the Creator), Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher. Besides Best Picture and Best Actor, it's nominated for Best Production Design, Best Film Editing, Best Directing, Best Cinematography, Best Casting, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Screenplay.

One Battle After Another

Part political thriller, part parenthood comedy, Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another is an absolute gem. As someone who has a hard time watching movies over 1.5 hours, this three-hour journey had me glued to the screen from start to finish. It's inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland. One Battle After Another follows Bob Ferguson (Leonardo DiCaprio) as an ex-revolutionary who's living off the grid with his teen daughter Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his former nemesis and military antagonist Col. Steven J. Lockjaw (Sean Penn) resurfaces and Willa goes missing, Bob is forced into action to find and protect her. It's our second favorite movie of the year, "not only for what it brings to cinema in terms of spectacle and spirit, but also what it has to say about America today," as Puchko puts it. It also scored the second-most Oscar nominations of any film: Best Picture, Best Directing, Best Supporting Actor (x2), Best Lead Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Casting, Best Cinematography, and Best Film Editing.

The Secret Agent

Directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, The Secret Agent was described by UK Editor Shannon Connellan as a "time-jumping political crime thriller" that follows Marcelo (Wagner Moura), a tech expert in his early 40s, who's "justifiably paranoid in his mission to escape his country's authoritarian regime." She cheered, "It's a heavy topic explored with humanity, boasting such a compelling script, impeccable acting, and striking 1970s aesthetic that it's impossible to look away." It also picked up nominations for Best Actor, Best Casting, and Best International Feature Film.

Sentimental Value

A riveting family drama, Sentimental Value follows the reunion of sisters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) with their estranged father Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård), a charismatic, once-renowned director. Gustav offers Nora a role in his hopeful comeback film, but when she turns it down, he gives the part to a young Hollywood actress (Elle Fanning). The story navigates the complicated relationships and dynamics that arise and dives deep into human emotions. Beyond Best Picture, it's also nominated in several other categories: Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress (x2), Best Original Screenplay, Best Lead Actress, Best Directing, Best Film Editing, and Best International Feature Film.

If you want to catch it before the Academy Awards, you can rent or purchase it at digital retailers like Prime Video and Fandango at Home for $5.99 or $19.99.

Sinners

Black Panther director Ryan Coogler is back with another smash hit. Puchko called it "easily one of the best movies of the year" back in April, and it ended up earning the top spot on our list in December. It's set in the 1930s Jim Crow-era South and stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twin brothers who return to their hometown with the goal of setting up a juke joint. The juke joint's grand opening is disrupted by something ominous (and blood-thirsty). With bits of horror, history, and musical theater all sprinkled in, it's a genre-fluid movie in every sense of the term. Sinners took the Oscars by storm with a record-breaking 16 nominations. Essentially, every award it could be nominated for, it is.

Train Dreams

Based on Denis Johnson’s 2011 novella of the same name, Train Dreams follows a man's search for meaning as the 20th century arrives. Joel Edgerton stars as Robert Grainier, who grows into adulthood among the Pacific Northwest forests, where he helps expand the nation’s railroad empire. As Mashable's reviewer writes, "it's a steady, meditative, and at times devastating journey with many a conversation around the fire." It's also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Song.

AirDrop is amazing, and iPhone owners everywhere use it regularly. However, its biggest limitation is that it only works on Apple devices. And while Google recently broke through that wall and got AirDrop working on Pixel devices, my Samsung Galaxy doesn't have that luxury. I don't need it, though, because this open-source alternative already exists.

Prime Video might not have the ever-rotating roster of documentaries and docuseries that Netflix has, but with a little digging, you can find some unique and quirky options that are worth your time without feeling like homework, like some docs can.

OpenClaw has taken the AI industry by storm over the past few months, inspiring a new AI term for personal AI agents — claws. It's now so popular that even Google can't ignore it.

If you're a Google Workspace user, Google has now released a command-line interface (CLI) that officially gives developers a way to integrate third-party AI agents like OpenClaw into the Workspace platform. This means that OpenClaw and other AI assistants can connect to a user's Google Workspace services such as Gmail and Google Drive.

Google published the Google Workspace CLI on Github just days ago alongside specific documentation on how to integrate OpenClaw. The documentation also includes guidance on how to connect MCP (Model Context Protocol) compatible apps such as the Claude Desktop app and the Gemini CLI.

As PCWorld noted, OpenClaw and similar claws could already connect to Google Workspace. However, this involved workarounds and the use of multiple APIs to integrate AI assistants into Google's services and platforms.

While the Google CLI is an official Google release, the company shared that it's “not an officially supported Google product" and is more for developer use than the average Google user.

Still, this is a notable move from Google. It's a first step in Google basically embracing claws and giving developers a legitimate way to integrate them into their Google Workspace account.

OpenClaw went viral earlier this year and basically became the standard-bearer for agentic AI tools. Last month, OpenAI hired OpenClaw's founder Peter Steinberger, who joined the company with a goal "to build an agent that even my mum can use."

The Art of Unix Programming (TAoUP), by Eric S. Raymond, is not a tutorial or how-to book. Instead, it is a book about the history and philosophy of Unix. But no other book has had a greater influence on my approach to Linux and macOS, or my everyday use of it. Here are just a few of the things it has taught me.

The popular open-source firmware for routers and other networking equipment, OpenWrt, just released a new major update. OpenWrt 25.12 is now available after “over one year” of development, with new features and more supported devices.

By the end of the week, my brain is usually running on fumes, and I need some stimulation to fill it up again. Something cool and interesting I can use to spark a conversation with my friends or someone in line at the supermarket. Netflix's documentary shelf is basically a library for that.

While we've historically named the slightly smaller Marshall Emberton III the speaker with the "Best Design" on the market, the Woburn III takes that iconic, stripped-back vintage-amp look and scales it up for your home.

It's a plug-in unit that delivers 150 watts to produce what Marshall calls a "home-shaking" signature sound. Plus, it's incredibly versatile — you can connect directly via Bluetooth, or hook it up to your TV or record player using the HDMI, RCA, or 3.5 mm inputs.

Several other sizes of each of these TVs are also on sale, so be sure to click through on the product pages for more details.

A specialized TV designed for outdoor viewing, Samsung's The Terrace is in a class of its own. Even in bright daylight, this 75-inch QLED 4K TV will look sharp and cut through the glare. So you can watch sports while tending to your garden or catch up on your favorite shows while enjoying some sunshine. It also boasts an IP56 weatherproof rating to protect it from rain and dust. It's truly the ultimate patio upgrade. There's only a few left in stock, so if you're in the market and can afford it, we recommend adding it to your cart ASAP.

$4,999.99 Save $1,501.99   Get Deal Why we like it

Sony's 83-inch Bravia XR A80L is an older model from 2023, but it's still a great pick — especially since it's currently over $1,500 off. Mashable's UK team named it one of the best TVs for gaming, particularly for PS5. It boasts features like Auto HDR Tone Mapping, Auto Genre Picture Mode, Variable Refresh Rate, Auto Low Latency Mode, and a dedicated gaming menu for customization. It's also selling out quick, with only a few left in stock at Amazon at the time of writing. In other words, act fast if you want to secure the deal.

$24,996.99 Save $5,000   Get Deal Why we like it

Mashable's sister site PCMag has tested hundreds of TVs with highly specialized equipment and named the LG G5 evo "one of the most gorgeous TVs you can buy." It's incredibly bright, with the wide and accurate colors, and a "phenomenal picture." It easily took home their Editors' Choice award for the best OLED TV last year. The one downfall? It's wildly expensive. This massive 97-inch LG G5 OLED TV is basically the price of a new car, but if you can afford it, it's actually on sale for its best price to date (believe it or not). We don't usually recommend buying from a third-party seller at Amazon, but it's technically $3 cheaper than Best Buy and LG's website, making it the best deal.
