Anthropic recently took its two newest AI models offline due to an export control order from the Trump administration, prompting broad debates about AI policy and digital sovereignty. On the latest episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Sean O’Kane, Rebecca Bellan, and I discussed what actually prompted the administration’s moves against Anthropic, and what this might mean for the broader AI ecosystem. As Sean put it, “Anthropic has not had the best relationship with the Trump administration in a way that stands apart from the other leading AI labs,” so perhaps other Anthropic’s rivals don’t need to worry about a similar…

The Marlins have designated first baseman Christopher Morel for assignment, according to multiple beat writers.  The move creates space on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters for Griffin Conine, who has been activated from the 60-day injured list.

Which of these is still safe to use? Does coffee creamer go bad? The short answer: Yes, but the timeline varies significantly depending on the type.
