The New York Times sues Brave, alleging its search index fed scraped journalism to AI labs
The Times’ suit in Manhattan alleges Brave scraped its reporting with an unidentified crawler and supplied it to Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI and Cohere.

Claude Code now steers away from cloning specific video games, a nudge rather than a wall
Claude Code’s prompt on Opus 5.5 now favors original and genre games over recreations of specific titles, a change Anthropic’s Addy Osmani tied to its IP policy. It sets a product-level precedent, but rivals and open models lack the rule, and false refusals are already reported.
