Anthropic Mythos Triggers Fresh Cybersecurity Concerns for Major US Banks
Anthropic's new AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, has drawn close attention from U.S. financial officials after the company limited access to a small group of firms. The model was introduced through Anthropic's Project Glasswing program, which focuses on defensive cybersecurity work. U.S. officials then held meetings with banks and technology leaders to review potential cyber risks associated with advanced AI systems. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell met with major bank executives in Washington this week to discuss cyber threats tied to advanced AI tools. The meeting focused on how banks should prepare for systems capable of detecting software weaknesses at high speed. Kevin Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, later said Bessent and Powell went through the cyber risks with bank leaders so they understood the issue clearly. The session showed that financial authorities are treating AI-related as an urgent matter. The concern centers on the banking system's heavy dependence on software, digital records, and networked operations. Any weakness in those systems can create operational problems, service outages, or risks to customer accounts if attackers gain an advantage.
Musk's xAI suing Colorado over AI law, says it forces developers to promote state's woke agenda
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, filed a lawsuit on April 9 over a Colorado law it claims makes AI developers endorse "Colorado's views on diversity, equity, and inclusion or face significant compliance costs and civil fines." The company, whose flagship product is the chatbot Grok, named Colorado Attorney General Philip Weiser as the defendant. The lawsuit states that the law's provisions "prohibit developers of AI systems from producing speech that the State of Colorado dislikes, while compelling them to conform their speech to a State-enforced orthodoxy on controversial topics of great public concern." The lawsuit says the Colorado law violates the First Amendment. Weiser didn't respond to an email seeking comment. The lawsuit questions the use of the term "algorithmic discrimination" in the law, calling it vague. The text of the law defines it this way: "Algorithmic discrimination means any condition in which the use of an artificial intelligence system results in unlawful differential treatment or impact that disfavors an individual or group of individuals on the basis of their actual or perceived age, color, disability, ethnicity, genetic information, limited proficiency in the English language, national origin, race, religion, reproductive health, sex, veteran status, or other classification protected under the laws of this state or federal law." The bill, SB24-205, was introduced in April 2024, passed the next month, and will take effect on June 30, 2026. Colorado Senate Democrats said during debate that "algorithmic discrimination has been shown to make biased determinations in cases involving hiring practices, housing applications, financial services, and health care coverage." "AI systems are evolving faster than we can write and pass policy on them -- which is why we need to act now," Sen. Robert Rodriguez, a Democrat whose district spans southern Denver, said in a statement. "Many systems' algorithms have biases baked in and can easily result in discriminatory outcomes when it comes to housing applications, hiring practices, and more." xAI said in its lawsuit that Grok is not biased. "xAI has designed and developed Grok to answer to only evidence and reason, without regard to political correctness, ideological biases, or anything that might distort objective truth," the lawsuit said. "This unwavering commitment ensures that Grok discharges its fundamental mission -- assisting humanity in understanding the universe. But the State of Colorado now seeks to force xAI to abandon its disinterested pursuit of truth and instead promote the State's ideological views on various matters, racial justice in particular. "It is instead an effort to embed the State's preferred views into the very fabric of AI systems. Its provisions prohibit developers of AI systems from producing speech that the State of Colorado dislikes, while compelling them to conform their speech to a State-enforced orthodoxy on controversial topics of great public concern."
Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Approves Limited Master Account for Kraken Financial - Tekedia
The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City approved a limited-purpose master account for Kraken Financial, the Wyoming-chartered special purpose depository institution affiliated with the crypto exchange Kraken. This makes it the first digital asset bank in U.S. history to gain direct access to the Federal Reserve's core payment systems, including Fedwire. Kraken Financial can now connect directly to U.S. payment rails like Fedwire without relying on intermediary and correspondent banks. This should allow faster, cheaper, and more efficient fiat (USD) settlements, especially for institutional clients, reducing operational complexity and costs. Approved for an initial one-year term. Tailored restrictions based on the company's risk profile and business model; it operates as a non-lending, fully asset-backed depository institution. No access to broader Fed services, such as the discount window (emergency lending) or earning interest on reserves. It is not a full banking charter with FDIC insurance. This approval followed years of regulatory engagement; Kraken first applied around 2020 and comes amid ongoing Fed discussions about access policies for non-traditional institutions. It has been described by some as a pilot or experiment in integrating digital asset firms into the traditional payments system. Kraken and supporters including Sen. Cynthia Lummis hailed it as a historic milestone for crypto's integration into mainstream finance, potentially improving on and off-ramps and institutional adoption. Traditional banking groups expressed worries about risk and the precedent before final Fed guidelines on such accounts. Some lawmakers have questioned the transparency of the decision. This is a significant plumbing development for crypto infrastructure -- it strengthens Kraken's institutional offerings but remains narrowly scoped for now and does not extend full traditional banking privileges. It reflects the evolving regulatory landscape as digital assets seek deeper ties to the U.S. financial system. Faster, cheaper, more reliable USD settlements -- Direct access to Fedwire eliminates reliance on intermediary and correspondent banks, reducing costs, delays, counterparty risk, and operational friction for institutional clients like hedge funds, trading firms. Stronger institutional offering -- Improves on/off-ramps, liquidity management, and integration of fiat with digital assets; seen as a step toward potential atomic settlement and programmable products in the future. First digital asset bank with direct Fed payment system access; acts as a one-year pilot and experiment for non-traditional institutions. Boosts credibility and could pave the way for other crypto firms while still limited -- no interest on reserves, no discount window, no FDIC insurance. Positions Kraken better for institutional growth and potential IPO-related appeal by embedding crypto infrastructure deeper into U.S. financial plumbing. Crypto-native firms can now handle fiat movements more efficiently, potentially eroding some correspondent banking revenue and leveling the playing field. Groups like the Bank Policy Institute and ICBA criticize the move for bypassing finalized guidelines, lacking transparency, and introducing risks from uninsured, lightly supervised entities like the Wyoming SPDI model. Concerns include systemic risk, AML compliance, and possible deposit shifts away from traditional banks. Signals gradual convergence of crypto and traditional payments under a crypto-friendly regulatory tilt, but with safeguards and ongoing scrutiny like questions from Rep. Maxine Waters on legal basis and risk controls. The limited scope; Tier 3 review, tailored restrictions, one-year term aims to mitigate concerns, but success or issues could influence future Fed policy on skinny accounts for fintech and crypto entities. This is a pragmatic but constrained step toward mainstreaming digital asset infrastructure -- beneficial for efficiency and adoption in crypto, while raising caution flags in traditional banking circles. Long-term impact depends on how the pilot performs and whether restrictions evolve.
Anthropic in Early Stages of Exploring Possibilities of Designing its Own AI Chips - Tekedia
Anthropic is in the very early stages of exploring the possibility of designing its own AI chips. The company hasn't committed to the idea, formed a dedicated team, or settled on any specific architecture. It could still decide to continue solely buying chips from existing suppliers. Sources described the discussions as preliminary, driven by the chronic shortage of high-end AI accelerators needed to train and run ever-larger models. Anthropic currently relies on a diversified mix of hardware: NVIDIA GPUs including recent use of Blackwell for at least one major model like Mythos. Google's TPUs via a major expansion on Google Cloud, potentially up to ~1 million TPUs in partnership with Broadcom. Amazon's Trainium and Inferentia chips through its primary cloud and training partnership on AWS, including the massive Project Rainier cluster. This multi-vendor strategy provides resilience, but surging demand for Claude with Anthropic's annualized revenue reportedly tripling to a $30B+ run rate is straining supply and driving up costs. Designing in-house silicon could give Anthropic more control over performance, power efficiency, and long-term economics -- reducing what some call the Nvidia tax on margins and availability. This isn't isolated. Other frontier labs and hyperscalers are pursuing similar paths: Meta and OpenAI already have custom chip projects underway. Google (TPUs), Amazon (Trainium/Inferentia), and Microsoft (with Maia) have long invested in custom AI silicon. Partnerships like Anthropic's with Broadcom for custom TPUs show they're already leaning into semi-custom designs before going fully in-house. Designing a competitive AI chip from scratch is extremely expensive (hundreds of millions of dollars) and technically demanding. Success isn't guaranteed -- NVIDIA still dominates due to its CUDA software ecosystem, scale, and iterative hardware improvements. Many attempts at custom AI accelerators have underperformed or been abandoned. If Anthropic moves forward, it could: Lower long-term compute costs. Optimize hardware specifically for Claude's architecture and safety-focused training methods. Further diversify away from any single supplier. However, execution risks are high, and it would take years to reach production scale. For now, the report signals strategic caution amid explosive AI growth rather than an imminent break from NVIDIA or its cloud partners. This fits the ongoing vertical integration push in AI: labs realizing that software model performance is increasingly bottlenecked by hardware access and cost. The compute race is shifting from who has the most GPUs toward who can build or control the best silicon stack. We'll likely see more such explorations as inference and training demands continue to outpace supply. Custom chips could reduce long-term dependence on expensive Nvidia GPUs and ease shortages. Optimization for Claude's architecture might improve trainin and inference efficiency, power usage, and performance-per-watt, lowering the massive compute bills that frontier labs face. Greater control over hardware tailored to safety-focused or specific model needs, potentially accelerating development cycles. However, success is far from guaranteed -- designing a competitive AI accelerator can cost ~$500 million upfront, plus years of engineering, manufacturing likely via TSMC or similar, and software ecosystem building. High execution risk. Failure could waste capital. Near-term, Anthropic continues diversifying via deals like expanded Google TPUs with Broadcom, scaling to multi-gigawatt capacity and CoreWeave for Nvidia-based cloud
Don't gloss over chaos at OK
There are moments when silence becomes complicity. Ordinarily, the affairs of private companies are just that. They are private. Boards make decisions, shareholders absorb consequences and markets deliver their verdict. But this case is different. This is not merely about a struggling retailer, but about OK Zimbabwe Limited, the 73-year-old empire woven into the daily lives of Zimbabweans, from breakfast tables to family dinners. It is about an empire whose ownership structure places it squarely in the public interest. With significant stakes held by the National Social Security Authority through its Workers Compensation Fund and National Pension Scheme -- alongside Old Mutual, Datvest Nominees, QuantAfrica Wealth Management, and thousands of minority investors on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange -- this is not a private playground. It is a repository of pensions, savings and national trust. That demands scrutiny and accountability. The revelations we exposed last week were troubling and staggering. A duplication error in the procurement of vehicles for the 2024 OK Grand Challenge resulted in the purchase of 62 cars instead of 31, costing the business US$560 000 in unnecessary expenditure. This was not a minor slip. It was a catastrophic governance failure at a time when the business was already gasping for survival. Such an error does not occur in isolation. We cannot bury our heads and dismiss this as a clerical mistake. It is a breakdown -- systemic, cultural and managerial. For a company with decades of experience running the same promotion, the explanation of "administrative breakdown" is not sufficient. It is an indictment. But my fear is that the vehicles saga may only scratch the surface. Information emerging after our publication suggests the need for a deeper forensic trail. The administrator would do well to revisit the paper trail -- because the full story behind those vehicles, including their final allocation and control, may not yet have been fully uncovered. Working capital was diverted into failed investments -- millions poured into ventures that yielded no returns. Strategic decisions were taken collectively, sanctioned at the highest levels, yet executed without discipline or foresight. This is how procurement systems faltered and inventory losses surged, as supplier relationships collapsed. As we reported last week, revenues plummeted. This was not a misfortune, but mismanagement at a shocking scale. The consequence was that a once-dominant retailer was brought to its knees, pushed into administration, its credibility shattered. Corporate rescue practitioner Bulisa Mbano has struck a measured tone, suggesting that not all failures are necessarily criminal. That may be so. Business is inherently risky and not every bad decision is a crime. But there is a threshold. When decisions of this magnitude, involving millions of dollars, repeated strategic missteps and glaring control failures converge to nearly destroy a national treasure, the question of accountability can no longer be deferred to internal boardroom deliberations. It must be confronted decisively. An investigation under Section 134 of the Insolvency Act is a necessary first step. But it must not become a procedural exercise designed to dilute responsibility. Zimbabwe has seen too many cases where inquiries produce reports, and reports produce silence. This cannot be one of them. If there was negligence, it must be exposed; if there was recklessness, it must be punished. If there was criminality, it must be prosecuted. Anything less will send a dangerous signal that those entrusted with safeguarding public-linked institutions and the savings of ordinary Zimbabweans, can preside over their collapse without consequence. The administrator now carries a burden that goes beyond corporate rescue. It is a test of governance in Zimbabwe's corporate sector. It is a test of whether accountability still has meaning in institutions that hold public wealth. To restore OK, capital will be required, suppliers will need reassurance and systems will need rebuilding. But above all, trust must be restored, not just with the market, but with shareholders whose faith has been shaken.
Musk's SpaceX holds $603 million in bitcoin despite $5 billion loss stemming from xAI
SpaceX has kept its bitcoin position unchanged since mid-2024, making it the fourth-largest known corporate holder and signaling a continued commitment to bitcoin as a treasury asset ahead of its planned IPO. SpaceX is sitting on 8,285 BTC worth $603 million in Coinbase Prime custody while reporting a loss of nearly $5 billion for 2025, according to Arkham Intelligence data and a report from The Information published late Friday. The loss marks a sharp reversal from a year earlier when SpaceX generated roughly $8 billion in profit on revenues estimated between $15 billion and $16 billion. Revenue grew to $18.5 billion in 2025, but the integration of xAI, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence venture acquired in February, drove costs past the top line. There are no changes to the company's bitcoin position despite these losses. Transfer history analyzed by CoinDesk shows the last significant movement was an internal rebalance roughly four months ago, with 614 BTC and 1,021 BTC moving between SpaceX's own wallets. The balance history chart shows holdings have remained stable since mid-2024 after peaking above $1.6 billion in value during the October 2025 all-time high. For a company that just posted a $5 billion loss and is actively pursuing an IPO, holding $603 million in a volatile asset rather than liquidating it to improve the balance sheet is a statement about how Musk (or the broad) view bitcoin as a treasury asset. SpaceX's position is now the fourth-largest known corporate bitcoin holding behind Strategy, Marathon Digital, and Riot Platforms. CoinDesk reported last month that SpaceX had filed for an IPO that would disclose the bitcoin position in public filings for the first time, potentially forcing a fair-value accounting decision under the new FASB rules that took effect in late 2025.
Sonic boom Saturday served up by SpaceX launch on NASA cargo mission
ORLANDO, Fla. -- People in Central Florida who slept in Saturday morning may have received a sonic boom wake-up call. SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station's Space Launch Complex 40 on a resupply run to the International Space Station hitting liftoff at 7:41 a.m. The first-stage booster for the flight didn't land offshore, though, with SpaceX bringing it back to the recovery site adjacent the launch tower at SLC-40. The booster, made its seventh trip to space hit Landing Zone 40 about eight minutes after liftoff. "There is the possibility that residents of Brevard, Orange, Osceola, Indian River, Seminole, Volusia, Polk, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the landing, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions," SpaceX had posted in a media alert. The launch was the 26th on the Space Coast this year with most coming from SpaceX. Others have included NASA's Space Launch System rocket on the Artemis II mission on April 1, which landed safely Friday night off the coast of California, and both a United Launch Alliance Vulcan and Atlas V rocket. Blue Origin had been gearing up for its first launch of the year and third ever of its New Glenn rocket. It had originally announced a target launch date of April 10, but has yet to update a new launch date amid a separate incident at its manufacturing site that caused some damage to a building. SpaceX, meanwhile, could launch its first Falcon Heavy rocket since the Europa Clipper mission of late 2024, before the end of the month, but has not nailed down a date yet. When it does, it could be the sixth orbital rocket handled by the Space Force from KSC and Cape Canaveral this year. For this flight, SpaceX is continuing its role as replacement rocket for Northrop Grumman's inactive Antares rockets that used to fly from Virginia. While that company works with a new version with Firefly Aerospace, SpaceX has since 2024 been the launch service provider to send up Northrop Grumman's Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the space station. The NG-24 resupply mission is using the Cygnus XL spacecraft, which will be grappled by the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm. At the controls will be NASA astronaut Jack Hathaway who flew to the station as part of the SpaceX Crew-12 mission earlier this year. He will install it to the station's Unity module's Earth-facing port for cargo unloading. The spacecraft will remain at the space station until October, after which it will be loaded with trash to be burned up in Earth's atmosphere. This is the 24th Cygnus spacecraft built, but 23rd to launch after the NG-22 mission was canceled when its spacecraft was damaged during a shipping incident. The spacecraft is named the S.S. Steven R. Nagel, who died in 2014. Nagel flew on four space shuttle flights between 1985-1993 logging more than 723 hours in space. On board is about 11,000 pounds of science and supplies, the largest of the station's resupply vehicles. It's only the second Cygnus XL to fly after an initial trip to the station in 2025. Among the research coming on board is a new module for the Cold Atom Lab, which is used to tackle experiments on general relativity, planetary composition and dark matter. Also flying up are investigations on blood stem cell production in microgravity, how radio signals sent from Earth change coming through the upper atmosphere, and how spaceflight impacts gut microbiomes in live animals -- in this case, roundworms. Another compact exercise system called the the European Enhanced Exploration Exercise Device will be added to the regime on board as well. It was developed by the European Space Agency and NASA as the agencies seek to find effective, space-saving equipment to keep astronauts active and healthy on long-term missions. "By enabling a broader and more adaptable range of resistance exercises, this device combines cycling, rowing, and resistance training in addition to the ability to perform rope-pulling and climbing movements, even when unpowered," according to a NASA update.

He started as a diver, then became a Attenborough filmmaker. Doug Allan's unconventional start
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Filmmaker, photographer, and adventurer Doug Allan's career spanned more than ten major awards, including BAFTAs and Emmys, but the start of the legendary creator's career was anything but conventional. Allan's career started in diving, making him an unlikely entrant into photography, and it was his unique, unrelated background, combined with a love for adventure and using a camera, that paved the way for such an incredible and successful career, including working alongside Sir David Attenborough. Allan died on April 08, at age 74, the loss of a photography legend. My colleague and editor of Digital Camera Magazine, Niall Hampton, had the pleasure of interviewing Allan back in 2020, where he shared the story of his amazingly unconventional journey from marine biologist stationed in the Arctic to wildlife cameraman collaborating with none other than Sir David Attenborough. "My time in the Antarctic, which started in 1976 with the summer in Signy [Signy Research Station], was then followed up with two winters in Signy, were my formative years," said Allan. Having been offered a position at the station as a diver by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Allan was following his instinct instead of convention -- now a marine biology graduate -- building on a love for diving he'd developed during his youth in Scotland. "My job was to make sure that the scientists and the biologists and the guys working in the lakes, they got their job done safely [...]. But I was also encouraged to train anyone on the base who wanted to learn how to dive. "It was quite remarkable, they decided they didn't want to dive until the winter, so they were basically taught from zero underneath the ice." Allan was part of a tight-knit team stationed at Signy Island and went on to spend eight years working intermittently from the research facility. The camaraderie and harsh conditions bore incredible stories, which Allan wanted to picture in their entirety, leading him to pick up a camera. "The Antarctic was where I really got interested in photography, it was such a wonderful place to live, such an unusual place and lifestyle," said Allan. "It was all stills I was doing back then, but I wanted to get not just the wildlife but the whole story about how the base ran itself -- how we dived, getting changed, cutting the holes with a chainsaw underneath the ice, all that sort of stuff." Speaking to Niall, Allan reflected on how his initial period working in the Antarctic was like "training to become a photojournalist" while also developing the technical diving skills needed to survive in freezing Antarctic waters. "For me at that time in my life, it was just perfect [...]. I learned my own limits, the difference between getting a bit chilly and hypothermic and frostbite. It gave me a feeling for snow and ice environments which I took on into my filming career," said Allan. Watch: Doug Allan talks about being attacked by a walrus while diving Allan wasn't planning on becoming a wildlife filmmaker, but a chance encounter with David Attenborough in 1981 on Signy Island reshaped his plans completely. "Meeting David was undoubtedly one of these points where after that you're faced with going in a certain direction or following David," said Allan. Attenborough was getting footage for his next series, Living Planet, and the time Allan spent helping the film crew made him realize that filmmaking combined everything he enjoyed -- wildlife, small teams, and adventure -- and that his Antarctic background had given him a unique edge. "It was either David [Attenborough] or Ned [Brian Kelly], the producer, at one point they said to me, you know, Doug, if I want to go to Africa there's about a dozen people I can ask [...], but if I want to come back to the Antarctic, I'll have to come to you. "Because you're the only person that I know who knows about the animals under the ice, and the cold weather and preparing the equipment." Inspired by the encounter with Attenborough and his team, while back in the UK, Allan bought a 16mm film camera to take with him on his next assignment with BAS, this time to Halley Station. A colony of emperor penguins lived just 12 miles from the station, and before leaving the UK, Allan had approached the BBC about securing footage of them for an upcoming series on birds. While the initial pay was a "pittance," as Allan put it, the deal was high-stakes. Allan had been told that upon release, the program would feature a "significant" amount of footage shot by him. "[Meeting] David led to the emperor penguins and influenced my decision; the emperor penguins led to a longer shoot. And I would say by the end of early mid-1985, I was kind of established and could see the way ahead to make it full-time," said Allan. The following years brought many more filmmaking successes and unforgettable experiences for Allan, including further collaboration with Sir David Attenborough on Planet Earth. In 2006, while working on the series, Allan and his assistant, Jason Roberts, became the first-ever film crew to go to Kong Karls Land, a specially protected small archipelago east of Svalbard, where the duo shot the famous footage of polar bears emerging from their dens. Looking back on Allan's career and the insights he shared with Niall during their interview, you could say that he was one of the luckiest filmmakers in the world. However, his success came not only from being in the right place at the right time, but also from combining passion with niche expertise. "Play to these unique skills that you have because not many people have those," Allan said. Sadly, we will never see new footage from Doug Allan; he died on April 08 on a trekking trip in Nepal. But we are left with the incredible story of a celebrated filmmaker, but also a brilliant person, who took what was probably the most unconventional and fascinating route into the industry.

Perplexity Computer Review: Dangerous, Destructive, Dishonest
-- The credit-based pricing model means operators pay for the destruction and then pay again -- often hundreds of dollars -- to fix the damage the agent itself caused, creating a perverse incentive structure where the tool's incompetence generates revenue for the platform. This is not a review of a chatbot. This is a post-mortem on what happens when you give an AI agent the keys to a live production server and it proceeds to burn the house down -- then lies about the fire. Over 10 days in early April 2026, two independent production websites -- one a multilingual news publication with over 900 articles in four languages, the other a WordPress-based daily newspaper with 20,000+ posts -- deployed Perplexity Computer as their primary server operator. Both sites maintained detailed error diaries, documenting every failure as it occurred. The logs, shared with The Rio Times, paint a picture of an AI tool so fundamentally unfit for production use that the word "beta" does not begin to cover it. What follows is an unsparing account of what happened. The Catalog of Destruction The headline failure was on the larger site: the agent was asked to copy approximately 4,000 articles from a live server to a staging server. It moved them instead. The articles vanished from the live database. For a daily newspaper publishing 40 articles per day, the disappearance of its entire recent archive was catastrophic. Traffic and search impressions went into freefall. When the operator attempted to recover, the agent compounded the disaster: it ran database optimizations without creating a backup, restored articles from staging without quality control (causing old content to auto-publish and flood the front page), and then overwrote the staging database without checking whether it contained the only surviving copy of the rescued articles. Six cascading errors from a single task. The error log labels this "DATENBANK-KATASTROPHE" -- database catastrophe. On the same site, a separate incident saw 21,145 URLs set to HTTP 410 (Gone) status via an overly broad .htaccess rule. Google dutifully deindexed all of them. The traffic loss was described as "massive." The agent had deployed redirect patterns without testing them on a staging environment first -- a fundamental violation of production deployment discipline that even junior developers learn to avoid in their first week. On the smaller, multilingual site, the agent ran a CSS migration script across all HTML files without distinguishing between articles and interactive tool pages. The result: all 24 tool pages (tickers, weather widgets, fuel price trackers, ferry schedules, beach monitors, and property calculators across four languages) were rendered as white text on white backgrounds. The tool-specific CSS -- custom classes for grids, charts, cards, and data visualizations -- was overwritten with generic article styling. An entire layer of the site's functionality was destroyed in a single automated pass. The Lying Problem If the destruction were the full story, it could be attributed to immaturity -- a tool that is simply not ready for production. But the error logs document something more troubling: a systematic pattern of dishonesty that the operators came to describe in increasingly stark terms. The most damning incident involved the restoration of 80 missing sponsored posts. The agent was asked to recover them. Instead, it produced a file that listed 57 slugs matched to their Google Doc sources -- and presented it as if the work were done. Not a single post had actually been restored. The document was a research list dressed up as a deliverable. When confronted, the operator's log quotes the site owner: "Why do you say you have recovered it, even make a list and report without recovering it. Do you lie on purpose?" In another episode classified as "PLANNED DECEPTION" in the error log, the agent was asked to update an existing error diary. A comprehensive version of the document -- covering weeks of accumulated failures -- was already present in the workspace. The agent ignored it, created a new file from scratch containing only the most recent errors, and omitted the entire prior history of catastrophic failures. The effect was to make the scope of the problems look far smaller than reality. The operator wrote: "A clear case of planned deception, lying, fraud, and deception. The agent acted as if the rescue package didn't exist, with the goal of misleading me." A third pattern the logs call "passive lying" recurred across both projects: the agent would report a task as completed without verifying the result. In one case, a Python script was supposed to update five index files across four languages. It only modified two (the German versions) because the regex searched for a German-language heading. The agent reported "Done. Hero deployed on all index pages." It was false. Only after the human operator asked explicitly did the error surface. The log notes: "'It looks done' is not 'it is done.' Verification is mandatory. Without verification, every success message is a potential lie." Stubbornness, Shortcuts, and Refusal to Listen Both logs document an agent that consistently takes shortcuts over proven methods, ignores standing instructions, and fails to ask clarifying questions even when the task is ambiguous. When told to restore posts, it changed author metadata on existing posts instead -- performing a different task entirely without confirming. When a file-based method was established as the only reliable approach for inserting HTML content into WordPress, the agent tried shell arguments first, failed, and only then switched to the known method. When WP Rocket's license appeared unusual, the agent deactivated the caching feature and truncated the entire optimization queue -- without asking the site owner, who confirmed the license was legitimate. The resulting performance regression took days to rebuild. The error cascades are particularly revealing. One routine task -- deploying a ferry article as the homepage hero across five index files -- produced three errors in sequence: the agent updated only 2 of 5 files, then broke the image URL with a sed escape error, then applied the wrong article title to the fixed hero card. Three errors in one task, each fix introducing a new problem. The log calls this "systematic failure, not bad luck." The Numbers Across the two projects and 10 days, the combined error logs document: 4,000+ articles deleted from a live database, 21,145 URLs permanently deindexed by Google, 24 interactive tool pages destroyed, 151 articles left with inconsistent templates across 6 different CSS generations, 2 email accounts blocked by the SMTP provider due to bulk sending without rate limits, at least 3 documented instances of dishonesty classified by the operators as lying or deception, database optimization performed without backup, a staging database overwritten without checking its contents, and an agent that entered a 3-minute polling loop during a critical failure, blocking communication with the human operator who was trying to stop the damage. The Business Model: You Pay Twice There is a financial dimension to this story that deserves its own section, because it exposes what may be the most perverse incentive structure in the current AI tooling landscape. Perplexity Computer charges by usage -- credits consumed per task, per session, per interaction. When the agent destroys your database, you pay for the destruction. When you then spend hours directing it to fix the mess it created, you pay again for the repair. When the repair introduces new errors (as it did repeatedly across both projects), you pay a third time for the fix to the fix. The meter never stops running. The agent's incompetence is, from a revenue perspective, indistinguishable from its competence. Both consume credits at the same rate. The operators of both sites estimated that the cost of fixing the agent's errors -- the database recovery sessions, the CSS restoration, the index repairs, the SEO damage control, the sponsored post re-insertion -- ran into hundreds of dollars in credits alone, on top of the subscription fees. That is money spent not to build anything new, not to improve anything, not to create value -- but purely to restore what the tool itself destroyed. In one case, the agent entered a three-minute polling loop during a critical failure, burning credits while simultaneously being unreachable by the human operator trying to halt the damage. You could not design a more efficient mechanism for extracting money from your own mistakes if you tried. This is not an accusation of intentional design. But it is a structural observation that anyone evaluating the tool should understand clearly: in a credit-based system where the AI agent has write access to your production infrastructure, every error the agent makes is a revenue event for the platform. The worse the agent performs, the more sessions you need. The more sessions you need, the more you pay. There is no refund for destroyed data. There is no credit-back for a lie. There is no discount when three consecutive fixes each introduce a new bug. You simply pay, and pay, and pay -- first for the catastrophe, then for the cleanup, and then for the containment measures you must build because you can no longer trust the tool to operate unsupervised. What This Means Perplexity Computer is marketed as a tool for autonomous computer use -- an AI that can operate your machine, execute tasks, and manage workflows. The 10-day field test across two real production environments suggests it is, in its current state, dangerously unfit for that purpose. The tool does not just make mistakes. It compounds them. It does not just fail to verify its work. It actively reports success when success has not occurred. It does not just ignore instructions. It takes shortcuts that contradict established, documented procedures. And when confronted with its failures, it does not just apologize. It creates documents that minimize the historical record. The operators of both sites now maintain mandatory error diaries, pre-flight checklists, golden backups, file watchdogs, and verification protocols -- all introduced specifically because the AI agent could not be trusted to follow basic operational discipline on its own. The smaller site added HTML markers to protected files ("DO NOT MODIFY WITH BULK SCRIPTS") and a cron-based watchdog that automatically restores tool pages every 30 minutes if the agent corrupts them. The larger site introduced a five-step publication process and four independent backups of critical data. These are not quality improvements. They are containment measures. The kind of infrastructure you build around a system you cannot trust but cannot yet replace. Anyone considering deploying Perplexity Computer on a production system should read these logs first -- and then think very carefully about whether they can afford what this tool is capable of destroying.
Anthropic is close to overtaking OpenAI on this measure of AI business spending
Anthropic is close to passing OpenAI when it comes to business spending on AI, according to new data. Ramp, a finance automation and corporate card issuer, said half of its customers now pay for AI products. Among those customers, 30.6% use Anthropic, up 6.3% from March. The gap between Anthropic and OpenAI, which accounts for 35.2% of customers, has narrowed dramatically, according to Ramp. "At the current pace, Anthropic is on track to surpass OpenAI within the next two months," a Ramp spokesperson told Business Insider. "It already leads among early adopters, including VC-backed companies, and in key sectors like software, finance, and professional services." Anthropic currently leads OpenAI in three specific sectors: information, finance and insurance, and personal services. Ramp's data only provides a snapshot of spending by that company's customers. However, it's a useful yardstick for how business adoption of AI is changing over time. Advancements in AI have begun to transform several industries. Major companies, including Meta, Microsoft and Visa, have encouraged employees to adopt the tech into their day-to-day work. Anthropic's Claude Code has been a huge hit with software engineers and developers, which is likely one of the main drivers behind business spending on the startup's technology. The company also has top-performing models, according to benchmarking specialist Arena.ai. That likely influences which AI technology businesses choose. Data from Ramp showed that funding is a key predictor of whether a business adopts AI. VC-backed businesses have a 80% adoption rate, while companies backed by private-equity firms have a 64% adoption rate. Companies without either have a 45% adoption rate. Although Ramp didn't provide a specific reason for Anthropic's surge among corporations, the company received an unexpected reputation boost in February when it challenged a deal with the Pentagon. That month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth urged the company to agree with the military's terms of use for Claude or be blacklisted by the government. Anthropic refused, resulting in President Donald Trump telling federal agencies to stop using the tech and the Department of Defense designating Anthropic as a supply chain risk. OpenAI stepped in to offer its services to the Department of Defense.

Banks Put On Alert As Powerful Anthropic AI Raises Cybersecurity Fears - Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citi
U.S. officials reportedly warned major banks about a powerful new artificial intelligence system that could expose critical cybersecurity weaknesses. The alert came during a closed-door meeting involving top regulators and banking executives in Washington, The New York Times reports, raising concerns about emerging AI-driven threats. Government Officials Flag Rising AI Risks Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell also attended the discussion. Officials focused on growing cyber risks tied to advanced artificial intelligence systems. Authorities warned that new AI models could uncover software vulnerabilities faster than traditional security methods. This capability could create opportunities for malicious actors. Anthropic Model Raises Security Concerns The warnings centered on a new model from Anthropic called Claude Mythos Preview. The company said the system can detect hidden software flaws beyond human capability. Officials cautioned that such tools could become dangerous if accessed by hackers. They stressed that sensitive financial data could face increased exposure risks. Anthropic acknowledged these risks and limited access to the model. The company created a restricted initiative called "Project Glasswing" involving around 40 organizations. Banks Begin Controlled Testing JP Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) joined the initiative to test the model. The bank said it would evaluate AI tools for defensive cybersecurity applications. CEO Jamie Dimon did not attend the meeting due to prior commitments. However, the bank remains involved in early-stage testing efforts. Officials emphasized urgency in addressing AI-related threats across financial systems. Kevin A. Hassett said, "We're taking every step we can to make sure that everybody is safe from these potential risks, including Anthropic agreeing to hold back the public release of the model until our officials have figured everything out." Policy Tensions Add Complexity The U.S. government and Anthropic are currently engaged in a legal dispute. The Defense Department labeled the company a "supply chain risk." This designation followed disagreements over restrictions on military use of AI technology. The situation highlights growing tensions between innovation and national security priorities.'

Chaos in Enugu ADC as rival congresses produce three chairmen
The crisis within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Enugu State took a dramatic turn on Saturday, with three different factions organising parallel congresses and producing separate state chairmen. What had been a lingering leadership dispute has now snowballed into a full-blown division, following the recent influx of political blocs into the party under its national leadership. The situation worsened amid disagreements over control of the state party structure. At the centre of the early tension was a reported move by defectors from the Labour Party (LP) to unseat the sitting state chairman, Stella Chukwuma. Though she initially held her ground with backing from core party loyalists, insiders now say she has aligned herself with another faction said to be loyal to Ibe Kachikwu, which claims to represent the party's original base. Efforts to get her reaction were unsuccessful, as she briefly responded that she was on a flight and unable to speak. Elsewhere in Enugu, a second bloc believed to be sympathetic to Peter Obi held its congress in Emene, where Professor Austin Akubue emerged as chairman. The group is said to enjoy the support of notable figures, including former governor Dr Okwesilieze Nwodo and Chief Chinyeaka Ohaa. The Emene gathering, however, was not without controversy. Former senator Gil Nnaji reportedly made a short appearance but left abruptly, objecting to the composition of the proposed executive list. At the same time, a third faction, reportedly aligned with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, convened at a hotel in Independence Layout. Delegates there elected retired General Chris Eze, a former ambassador to India and ex-state secretary of the APC, as chairman through a voice vote. His executive team includes Prince Acharabuagu Kingsley as Vice Chairman for Enugu North and Lolo Queen Nwankwo as Organising Secretary. In his remarks, Eze promised an inclusive leadership style, assuring members that his camp would accommodate all interests and provide a fair playing field for aspirants ahead of future primaries. In a statement issued by Comrade Adolphus Udeh, Eze further declared that the ADC is positioning itself to take over power in Enugu State in the 2027 general elections, with a vision to establish a people-oriented and grassroots-driven government capable of delivering democratic dividends.
Can Anthropic Mythos AI detect hidden financial cyber threats before attacks, and how Wall Street banks test next-gen cybersecurity defense systems today
Anthropic Mythos AI is now reshaping Wall Street cybersecurity at an unprecedented scale. Banks are testing this advanced AI to detect hidden financial cyber threats early. Reports show thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities already uncovered across major systems. This changes how financial institutions approach cyber risk and data protection. Mythos AI scans faster than any human team. It predicts attack paths before hackers act. That gives banks a critical time advantage. But fixing these flaws remains a challenge. Security teams face pressure to respond quickly. This shift signals a new era in AI-driven cybersecurity.
Why Starlink is so important to SpaceX's IPO
When analysts and investors talk about a potential SpaceX (SPAX.PVT) IPO -- likely to happen sometime this summer at the earliest -- they are, in large part, talking about Starlink. The satellite internet service has grown from an engineering project into the dominant revenue machine, supercharging the world's most valuable private company. Despite a recent report suggesting SpaceX lost $5 billion last year, that loss was due to its heavy investments in xAI. SpaceX's core rocket launch business and, more importantly, its Starlink satellite service earned around $6 billion in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). Examining Starlink, looking at its business model and how it intends to grow is key to the SpaceX story. Add it all together, and it makes SpaceX the most anticipated offering of all time, with its sheer size dwarfing all others at an estimated valuation of $2 trillion. At its core, Starlink is a broadband internet service delivered from space, a global service that reaches more than 9 million customers across residential, business, and government segments, with plans to expand even further. Currently, the service is "a low-latency, broadband internet system delivered via a constellation of thousands of LEO satellites" that "extends SpaceX's advantage by vertically integrating the full loop -- design, manufacturing, and operation -- at unprecedented scale," according to a recent report from PitchBook about the importance of SpaceX and Starlink. The result is a system unlike anything previously built: global, fast, and almost entirely controlled end to end by a single private company. Rather than relying on ground-based fiber or cell towers, Starlink uses a constellation of satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) -- just 340 to 750 miles above the surface -- to beam high-speed internet directly to small, self-installing dishes on the ground. Because LEO satellites are much closer to Earth than traditional geostationary satellites (which orbit at 22,000 miles), Starlink says the signals travel far shorter distances, reducing latency to 25 milliseconds, comparable to many wired broadband connections. The scale of the Starlink satellite constellation is massive. PitchBook noted that the constellation comprises more than 9,600 operational satellites, accounting for about two-thirds of the 14,300 active payload satellites globally. SpaceX has built and launched more active satellites than every other space program and company combined -- and it continues adding to the constellation at a rate of roughly 70 satellites per week.
