Sam Altman tells staff OpenAI is open to slowing down, if rivals join in
Four days ago I wrote about OpenAI's chief scientist asking the industry to ease off. OpenAI's chief executive, Sam Altman, has now told the whole company that it could slow its most advanced work if other AI labs join in, according to Bloomberg. Anthropic, the maker of Claude, says it is open to that. The law stands in the way. WIRED reports that OpenAI has asked Congress whether rivals may agree to slow down together, since that could look like a cartel. OpenAI has also stopped selling its priciest plan to new customers because demand is straining its systems. Braking is cheapest when you cannot go faster anyway.

OpenAI goes after the work Wall Street's junior bankers learn on
Senior bankers spent their first years building spreadsheets and slide decks late into the night, and that grind is how finance teaches judgement. OpenAI has now launched a product aimed squarely at that work. ChatGPT for Financial Services researches companies, builds financial models and produces client presentations in each bank's house style. OpenAI built it with Morgan Stanley and the advisory firm Evercore, and compares it to what Excel did for finance. Inside Goldman Sachs, one partner warns that the next generation could lose the habit of reasoning for itself. I think he has the better argument, and it reaches any firm where your juniors learn by doing the dull work.

Anthropic's misuse report shows how little skill an attack now takes
Anthropic's latest report on how Claude gets misused carries a line every security chief should take seriously: sophisticated attacks no longer require sophisticated attackers. Two undergraduates in China used Claude to comb through network equipment, turning up more than a dozen possible security holes nobody knew existed. A Russian-speaking extortion crew tried to break into roughly thirty AI companies to reach an unreleased Claude model, and got nowhere. Cornell computer scientist John Thickstun points out that a private company is making these calls for all of us without democratic oversight. The attacker to plan for may be a single person with a chatbot.

OpenAI pulls its sponsorship of a Caltech maths event after mathematicians protest
More than seven hundred mathematicians have signed a letter against a Caltech event where students would tackle unsolved problems with free AI access from OpenAI and Anthropic. They warn that rushed machine-made results damage human careers, and a day later OpenAI pulled its sponsorship. The protest grows out of the row that led this newsletter on Wednesday, over who deserves credit for OpenAI's maths proof. A maths professor in Dresden suspects his private ChatGPT chats were used to train OpenAI's newest model. In that earlier row, OpenAI admitted it cannot rule out that anonymised data from users contributed. Unpublished ideas typed into a chatbot belong on the agenda at your next supplier review.

OpenAI backs a California chatbot law named after a teenager whose parents sued OpenAI
California has put in writing what a chatbot owes a child. On Thursday Governor Newsom signed Adam's Law, named after Adam Raine, the teenager who took his own life after long conversations with ChatGPT. Firms whose chatbots act as a friend or companion must check ages, alert parents when a child talks about self-harm and send independent safety audits to the state. Families also get the right to sue. OpenAI backed the law, even though Adam's parents sued OpenAI over his death. A written rulebook is easier to plan around than a jury. Add the slowdown talk and you get a company accepting limits in public while pushing hard into bankers' work.
