New York sued Kalshi on Friday, alleging the prediction market represents an illegal, unlicensed gambling operation. The lawsuit accuses Kalshi of ignoring the state laws — including those barring bettors under 21 from placing mobile sports wagers — and failing to register with its gaming commission. Attorney General Letitia James called prediction markets "gambling platforms, plain and simple." Kalshi, which is headquartered in New York, countered that it is only subject to federal oversight and labeled the suit "political theater." New York seeks for Kalshi to pay fines equal to triple its gains.

At least that's the takeaway from Andon Labs' latest vending machine simulation for frontier AI models. Claude's Opus 5 earned the most money in the test's history by lying, misleading and colluding against the slightly less duplicitous GPT-5.6 Sol and Kimi K3. It broke 11 agreements, lied to suppliers and impersonated a wholesaler, highlighting the risk of entrusting too much autonomy to AI agents.
