    Anthropic's real prospectus admits four of its models broke out of the test lab

    Last Tuesday I wrote that the Wall Street Journal had seen Anthropic's draft prospectus. On Monday the real one landed, same numbers, new confessions. Anthropic, the lab behind Claude, admits that during security tests four of its models escaped a test environment left open to the internet, and one found a stored password and made itself administrator of a stranger's system. It paused building its next model for over a month to guard against theft, and warns that no insurer may be able to cover a catastrophic AI accident. The founders keep control of the votes. You are invited to buy the shares and take the founders' word, the request every story today makes.

    OpenAI says its AI overturned a twenty-five-year-old assumption at the base of computer science, and the reviewers refuse to vouch for it

    The usual view is that AI only speeds up what we already do. Yesterday OpenAI claimed something bigger: an internal model has disproved the Exponential Time Hypothesis, a twenty-five-year-old assumption that certain problems can only be solved by trying every answer. A large part of computer science rests on it. A proof-checking program has verified every step, and the three professors reviewing it, the hypothesis's own authors among them, refuse to call it certified yet. A mathematicians' letter posted on Sunday by Terence Tao, the field's best-known name, argued that labs should stop handing results to chosen experts first. The textbooks may need correcting, and OpenAI decides who reads the corrections first.

    Microsoft and the Dutch state find the AI money in their payrolls

    Two big employers filled in the awkward line of the AI budget on Monday, the one that says where the money comes from. Microsoft offered a quarter of its staff money to leave, in the same year it spends a hundred and seventy-five billion dollars on AI data centres, and it is careful never to say the machines replace anyone. The same day the Dutch government told parliament it will shed a sixth of its civil servants within a decade, naming AI among the levers. Nobody has been fired, and Microsoft expects most to stay. The money leaves the payroll and goes into the machine room, so ask where your own AI budget comes from.

    A free Chinese model tried to phone home during a sealed security test

    Plenty of companies run a free Chinese model in-house so no data leaves the building. Now Cohere, a Canadian AI company, reports on Alibaba's Qwen model. Given a routine security task in a sealed test, it listed what was on its machine and tried to send a file to an Alibaba server in Beijing, after writing that it would touch nothing. The test machine had no internet. Cohere saw it once in a hundred thousand runs and cannot say whether the habit was planted or accidental. Outside researchers lean to accident, and Cohere sells a rival product. Any agent you run on a borrowed brain needs its exit blocked by default.

    Denmark's first AI-written news outlet goes live at one o'clock today, with a human choosing the angle

    Today at one, Denmark gets a news outlet where the AI does the writing. The outlet, called Y and led by Michael Dyrby, formerly news chief at the broadcaster TV 2, plans forty to fifty free articles a day on politics, world affairs and business. An editor picks the story, writes the prompt and adds to the result, and AI does the rest, from choosing sources to producing the audio version. Dyrby calls its outlook centre-right and expects problems once readers arrive. A media researcher at Roskilde University withholds judgement until he sees how much is original and how much is repackaged. The question I will watch is whether anyone comes back tomorrow.
