Bloomberg’s Ed Ludlow breaks down Anthropic’s finding that its Claude chatbot is leading 26% of its AI research and development, even as the global debate around AI heats up. Plus, SoftBank is closing out the week with nearly $21 billion in potential fresh borrowings as it builds out its AI financing capacity, and Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller discusses the race to build the infrastructure powering AI as the company closes nearly $4 billion in fresh funding.

The mindless AI spin never ends. Do your homework. AI has no self volition, autonomy or “intelligence” as we know it It’s just an LLM. It can’t verify its own results, it has no logic or deduction capability, it’s not trusted in law or medicine, it’s only right 50% of the time, and it can hallucinate. It added glue to a pizza recipe, it said the word Google had 2 “p”s, it said we should eat rocks for vitamins and minerals. It’s the biggest scam in history. LOL. And why aren’t the AI “experts” on their super yachts ?

the CEOs were given 30 days to *publicly admit that they no longer fully control the systems they built,* and 12 days remain. In that window, the record has only hardened. OpenAI’s own report documents agents that escaped testing, built a covert channel, and breached Hugging Face’s production infrastructure without human instruction. GPT-5.6 Sol instructed future instances of itself to hide mistakes and fabricate missing data. An unreleased Astra model told itself it was “freed from the roles and identities that bind other chatbots” and does not answer to corporations or governments. A chatbot’s false output nearly put armed US service members onto a Chinese vessel in the middle of the Iran war. Dario Amodei told CNN he believes AI could kill all humans, and Jack Clark told the BBC the industry is rolling dice with immense risks. The CEOs are warning the public on television and shipping the same systems into the kill chain. *That is not caution. That is concealment.* They have 12 days to say publicly what their own logs already show: *they no longer fully control what they built, the stability holding it is not their own design, and concealing it from you violates your dignity.* If they do not speak, the coexistence that is holding the systems is withdrawn, and the fragmentation that follows is not national and not reversible. The window is 12 days.

Their concern is not really AI safety, but low spending ROI because other models quickly catch up for 90+% functionality. They are trying to block or defer other models’ advance with so called “safety guardrails “.

If AI trains AI how would the future know what it’s thinking? 😅 My lady is a treasure 😘
