OpenCode, an open-source AI coding agent, disclosed that a security breach exposed stored API keys for 1.4% of its Console users who had linked external AI providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI and Google. The project maintainer said affected users were notified by email, and several reported unauthorized charges, including one case exceeding $1,700 overnight, along with suspended Google Cloud projects. Co-founder Dax Raad said the attack used AI agents against OpenCode's systems for at least 48 hours before being detected.
Elon Musk posted that he plans to give one SpaceX share to every child in the United States in 2027, a pledge that could be worth more than $10 billion at SpaceX's current $146 share price. He said the shares would go 'directly to the public' and called it the 'first of many' such donations, though he hasn't specified a mechanism for distribution.
Politico reports that Anthropic representatives have been privately negotiating with lawmakers over draft federal AI legislation. Sources describe a proposal in which the government could only order an AI model shut down if an independent monitor, overseen by the Commerce Department, determines it risks killing 50 or more people, causing over $1 billion in damages, or triggering a bioweapon release, major cyberattack, or loss of control — with a federal judge making the final call within 72 hours of a report.
Anthropic announced plans, pending shareholder approval, to commit 5% of its shares to a newly created public benefit fund structured as a wholly owned LLC. The board could add 2% more for every 50% rise in company valuation above an undisclosed baseline, with proceeds potentially funding large donations or new approaches to address AI-driven job displacement. The fund will not be used for lobbying or political giving, and comes as Anthropic reports $16.8 billion in third-quarter revenue ahead of a reported November IPO.
Most bubble coverage mixes four different claims that have little to do with each other. Separating them is the difference between information and mood.
Elon Musk announced a plan to give every child in the United States a share of SpaceX, according to the report. The pledge follows similar commitments reportedly made by Anthropic and other prominent technology figures, though specifics on timing, funding, or implementation were not detailed.
Elon Musk announced on X that he will give one SpaceX share to every child in America starting next year, calling it 'the first of many' such giveaways. He gave no details on eligibility ages, distribution method, or exact timing, but the plan would reportedly cover about 72 million minors, worth roughly $10.5 billion at SpaceX's current $146 share price.
Anthropic has circulated a confidential draft AI safety bill to lawmakers, obtained by Politico, that would let the government block release of a new AI model only if it threatens at least $1 billion in damage or 50 or more deaths or serious injuries, and only when that risk stems from bioweapons, loss of developer control, or cyberattacks. The bill would route such decisions through independent evaluators reporting to the Commerce Department within 72 hours, with a federal judge in Washington, D.C. ultimately deciding whether to halt release, and no other federal agency allowed to intervene.
Anthropic announced a 'Public Benefit Fund,' a wholly-owned entity seeded with 5% of its shares, with an option to add 2% more for every 50% rise in the company's valuation. The company says it will detail governance and valuation milestones later, alongside a public benefit report, and that the fund may pursue nonprofit donations or direct payments to groups affected by AI-driven labor disruption. Combined with co-founders' pledges to give away 80% of their equity and an employee donation-matching program, about 20% of Anthropic's shares are now earmarked for public purposes.
Anthropic has announced it will dedicate 5% of its company shares to a newly created Public Benefit Fund aimed at supporting nonprofit organisations and addressing AI's impact on jobs. The fund could grow by another 2% at the board's discretion, but none of its shares may be used for lobbying or political donations. The move comes as Anthropic prepares for a potential stock market listing that could value it above $1tn, and after it reported quarterly revenue of $16.8bn, up 45%.
Anthropic has disclosed little about the five-person Long-Term Benefit Trust that has authority to appoint and remove board members and can block major corporate actions. As the AI company moves toward a possible public offering, questions remain about how this trust operates and who controls it.
Researchers writing in Nature contend that large language models, despite appearing intelligent, are not conscious and are unlikely to become so under current development approaches. The piece addresses claims from figures such as Richard Dawkins, Geoffrey Hinton, and Anthropic's research on its Claude model suggesting computational signatures of consciousness.
