Over the past year, concerns have swirled over the potential dangers posed by artificial intelligence, and debates have raged over the proper path for AI safety. Now, Anthropic appears to have put forth its own vision for how the government might regulate its industry. Politico recently reported that the AI lab has been shopping around a new draft bill on AI safety that it hopes Congress might consider adopting. The legislation posits certain scenarios in which the release of an AI model could be blocked from distribution. Those scenarios involve a “foreseeable, imminent risk” — one in which over 50 people…

The parents of a 3-year-old Bronx girl are facing murder charges after they were accused of starving their daughter to death, while her twin brother, who was also allegedly underfed, was hospitalized for a month as he was nursed back to health, Bronx prosecutors said Tuesday. Essence Gill-Harris’ parents called 911 after the little girl began having trouble breathing inside her family’s second-floor apartment on E. 215th St. near Paulding Ave. in Williamsbridge back on March 3, officials said. Medics rushed the toddler to Montefiore Medical Center, where she died shortly after arriving. Essence’s twin brother was also found severely…

Before you share the Netflix documentary “AI Gone Rogue” with family or friends to help them understand why the AI industry freaked out so badly that leaders called for a slowdown, take note: Clem Delangue, co-founder and CEO of the AI platform Hugging Face, says the film isn’t accurate. He appears in it because it’s supposed to be about the famed attack on his company by rogue OpenAI agents. “Super disappointing, as they went for maximum anthropomorphism of the technology and full doomer mode,” Delangue wrote in a post on X. “I spent more than two hours with them trying…

Anthropic is having trouble securing enough cloud capacity from AWS, Google, and Microsoft, which increasingly see the Claude maker as a competitor rather than a customer, according to an S-1 filing leaked to The Wall Street Journal.  The leaked filing provides more color to the numbers Reuters and the Financial Times reported in late September, including that Anthropic believes it could spend more than $750 billion on cloud contracts, some of which include deals still in negotiation. And still, that is not enough. Anthropic is leasing its own data centers and working with third-party data center operators. But the firm…

SpaceX’s data centers and Grok agents were more profitable than investors expected in the third quarter of the year, as the company leaves its roots as a space company behind to focus on artificial intelligence, which now makes up 52% of its income. CEO Elon Musk’s deep tech conglomerate reported $14.6 billion in third-quarter revenue on Tuesday, according to its regulatory filing. That number was driven by growth in all segments, but especially its renamed “Super Intelligence” business line, which generated $7.5 billion in revenue from the recently acquired Cursor coding tool, Grok bot, and most importantly, the company’s burgeoning…

At the forefront of Black Clover is a boy born with no mana in a world that exclusively revolves around magic. This boy is Asta, and despite the tough challenge laid out to him by fate, he manages to overcome it all and become the strongest Wizard King of all time. Asta rose to power primarily thanks to his overwhelming physical strength honed over years of grueling training, but most importantly, by his acquisition of the Five Clover Grimoire that hosts a low-ranking Devil known as Liebe and grants him the power of anti-magic. Anti-magic allows Asta to cut through…

Eric Schmidt’s fortune is about to get even bigger. The former Google CEO is reported to own about 1% of Anthropic after investing tens of millions of dollars in the leading AI lab’s Series A round in 2021, according to Bloomberg. The startup was valued at $461 million at the time, according to PitchBook data. If Bloomberg’s estimate is accurate, Schmidt’s stake is remarkably large compared with the 2% of the company that co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei holds. Anthropic is widely expected to go public before the end of the year, with top-end market estimates valuing the company at…
