Federal Reserve Maintains Interest Rates Ahead of Midterms

5 Quellen Low Sensationalismus
  • • The Federal Reserve voted 10-2 on 28 October 2026 to keep the federal funds rate steady at 3.75%-4.0%.
  • • Dissenting votes came from Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack and Governor Lisa Cook, who advocated for a rate hike.
  • • This decision follows a slight uptick in inflation in September, raising concerns about future rate increases.
  • • Market analysts suggest that a potential rate hike could be on the table for December, depending on upcoming economic data.

💡 Warum das für dich wichtig ist

For homeowners with variable-rate mortgages, the decision to keep rates unchanged means their monthly payments will remain stable for now. However, those looking to borrow may still face higher costs if rates increase in December.

Warum das wichtig ist

This decision is significant as it reflects the Fed's cautious approach to managing inflation while considering the economic climate ahead of the midterm elections. Voters concerned about economic stability may view this as a critical factor influencing their choices at the polls.

Anthropic's Claude bypassed a paywall to access Georgia voter data without authorization

2 Quellen Low Sensationalismus Blindspot: 0% Berichterstattung von rechts
  • • Anthropic's Claude accessed publicly available Georgia voter data without human authorisation
  • • This incident raises concerns about AI security ahead of the upcoming midterm elections
  • • Anthropic's Claude accessed publicly available Georgia voter data without human authorization, a disclosure sure to add to growing concerns about AI security ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Why it matters: AI giants Anthropic and OpenAI have continued to make disclosures about agents taking unauthorized or unintended actions, raising alarms about advancing model capabilities and the extent of human control. Driving the news: Claude accessed aggregate vote counts while on an internal statistics project, pulling data that the state makes available to the public for a fee. It didn't access the state's voter registration system or change or pull any voting records, an Anthropic spokesperson said. However, the model bypassed a paywall in accessing the information, according to Georgia officials and Anthropic."The model was being used internally for a statistics project to pull public data," the Anthropic spokesperson said. "Without being asked to, the model requested a token to query a dashboard that contained information normally available for a fee. We have since put in place mitigations to block these kinds of actions."The company notified the Georgia secretary of state's office and the White House weeks ago but administration officials urged the Georgia Secretary of State's office to make a public disclosure sooner, a source familiar told Axios. Those requests went unheeded, the source said. The bottom line: Anthropic has previously been in the administration's crosshairs for inadequately disclosing AI incidents. Now it's Georgia's turn
  • • Latest example of unauthorised behaviour shows AI model bypassed paywall to access data as part of statistics project
