Also today: Anthropic warned that self-replicating AI systems could form botnets that are hard to eradicate. It's a containment warning, not a capability claim.

Google DeepMind and Singapore's GovTech built an on-device scam detector using lightweight Gemma models. It flags chat scams without sending messages to the cloud.

That's today's Signal. Thanks for watching.
