In a move that blends law enforcement with modern media, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) has launched a podcast aimed at educating the public about rising cybersecurity threats. The initiative marks a shift from traditional community engagement to digital outreach, with officers crafting audio content to help citizens stay safe online.

Meanwhile, a new program in Tobago is distributing Samsung phones to elderly residents, bridging the digital divide for seniors who may struggle with modern technology. The partnership between TITL and TATT aims to ensure older adults can access online services and stay connected, though critics joke about the learning curve for those unfamiliar with smartphones.

In broader tech news, Anthropic finds itself at the center of controversy. Reports suggest the NSA may be using Anthropic's Mythos AI model for cyber operations, even as the Pentagon has labeled the company a supply-chain risk. The situation raises questions about the dual-use nature of powerful AI models: are they revolutionary security tools or high-stakes marketing stunts that have spooked governments and financial institutions?
