Historical examples demonstrate how anticipatory obedience enables authoritarian regimes to expand their power, illustrated by events in Nazi Germany and Austria. Stanley Milgram's famous psychological experiments revealed humans' surprising willingness to comply with authority figures, even when asked to harm others. The text explores how voluntary compliance and adaptation to new rules can lead to rapid societal transformation and devastating consequences.

The UK government secretly ordered Apple to create a universal backdoor for accessing encrypted user data worldwide, challenging Apple's Advanced Data Protection system. Apple may cease offering encrypted storage in the UK rather than compromise global user security, as the order demands unprecedented access to encrypted content across all countries.

NOAA plays a crucial role in U.S. weather forecasting by operating a vast network of satellites, airplanes, radar, and weather stations to collect real-time data that feeds into computer models and analysis. The agency's comprehensive weather observation system, which includes 18 satellites and over 1,300 maritime buoys, provides essential data that private companies and media rely on for their weather products and forecasts. NOAA's publicly accessible data and analysis are fundamental for public safety, business operations, and accurate climate monitoring.

Japanese funding agencies predominantly support research within strict disciplinary boundaries, leading to underfunding of interdisciplinary research and missed breakthrough opportunities. The authors propose five directions to foster interdisciplinary research in Japan, including shifting to researcher-focused funding and embracing high-risk projects, while highlighting successful models like OIST's approach to cross-disciplinary collaboration.

BYD announced it will offer advanced self-driving systems free of charge across all its vehicle models, including its cheapest Seagull model priced at $9,555. The 'God's Eye' ADAS comes in three versions offering features from automated parking to urban autonomous driving, potentially triggering a new price war in the EV market. The move poses a significant challenge to Tesla, which charges $8,000 for similar features in the US, and could impact its already declining sales.

Thomson Reuters won a landmark AI copyright lawsuit against Ross Intelligence, establishing a precedent that using copyrighted materials for AI training can constitute infringement. The Delaware District Court rejected Ross Intelligence's fair use defense, particularly noting how the AI firm aimed to compete with Westlaw by creating a market substitute. The ruling could significantly impact ongoing AI copyright cases and challenge how AI companies defend their training data practices.

Novel research demonstrates how large language models can improve their forecasting abilities through self-play and outcome-driven fine-tuning, achieving 7-10% better prediction accuracy without human-curated samples. The approach brings smaller models (Phi-4 14B and DeepSeek-R1 14B) to performance levels comparable to GPT-4 in forecasting tasks.
