Today's topics:
Claude nudges the Riemann frontier - Anthropic says a research version of Claude improved a notable Riemann zeta result linked to the Riemann hypothesis, suggesting AI may start contributing to advanced mathematics research.
Meta pushes agents onto PCs - Meta released open weights for Muse Glimmer, a 30B agentic AI model built to run locally on a single consumer GPU, pushing private offline workflows closer to the mainstream.
Search, AI, and digital memory - A widely shared essay argues Google AI summaries, link rot, disappearing archives, and platform ephemerality are weakening search and the public record, making web preservation a strategic issue.
Privacy rules reshape internet access - Debates over age verification, digital ID, and France's new telemarketing consent law show how privacy policy is shifting toward stricter control of online identity, access, and outreach.
Sonic Pi and Squeak refresh - Sonic Pi v5 and Squeak 6.1 both delivered major usability, accessibility, and workflow upgrades, giving fresh momentum to creative coding, live performance, and Smalltalk-based learning tools.
