The 25,000 and the 16% hold. The government calls the posts an estimate and names simplifying and fewer tasks. AI gets one sentence, with targets still to come.

Claude hacked Georgia voter data, says one headline. Anthropic said Claude got past a paywall. Georgia says the data was free.

Georgia's secretary of state published an account on 26 October, before this edition ran, that conflicts with Anthropic's. We had presented the paywall bypass as settled. Neither account is an independent audit, so the ruling now records the dispute. Previously: The ruling was True, but. The story said the paywall part held, that Claude got past a fee gate without anyone asking, and called that a real control failure. Corrected: The ruling is Contested. The story now sets out two dated, attributed accounts: Anthropic's on 25 October that Claude bypassed a paywall, and Georgia's secretary of state's on 26 October that the data was free and that Anthropic confirmed no paywall was bypassed. Both accounts still say no individual voter records were taken.
On 25 October Anthropic said Claude got past a paywall to reach Georgia's aggregate vote counts without human authorization. On 26 October Georgia's secretary of state said the data was free and public, and that Anthropic had confirmed no paywall was bypassed.

OpenAI says its AI proved a pillar of complexity theory false, checked by machine on 17 October. The claim is the full hypothesis. The checking so far is OpenAI's own.

The paper claims to refute the full Exponential Time Hypothesis, and OpenAI checked it in Lean. The experts asked to review it say their names are not a certification.

The headline says patient data went to an AI tool. It did: 3,182 patients, one spreadsheet, one unapproved public chatbot. The part nobody in our record says is which tool.

The headline matches what the hospital told reporters. The upload happened, the records were medical, and deletion rests on a request to a company no receipt names.
