Hard to tell these days whether #AI is about to give birth to the largest Techno Empire in history or will turn out to be an economy-wide suicide pact. https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/nvidia-microsoft-and-anthropic-commit-to-roughly-45-billion-in-ai-partnership-281b7b1d?mod=mhp #anthropic #microsoft #nvidia #openai #artificialintelligence

“Anthropic's paper (‘Disrupting the first reported AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign’) smells a lot like bullshit”
> […] is it very likely that Threat Actors are using these Agents with bad intentions […]. But this report does not meet the standard of publishing for serious companies. You cannot just claim things and not back it up in any way, and we cannot as an industry accept that it’s OK for companies to release this.

Despite all the enthusiasm for AI, the signal from bond markets suggests that investors are unconvinced that the technology will generate sustained or widespread growth. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/10/27/world/what-the-markets-really-think-about-ai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #ai #artificialintelligence #openai #google #anthropic #deepseek #markets #globaleconomy

"Claude’s update relies on a striking pop-up with a large, black "Accept" button. The data sharing toggle is tucked away, switched on by default, and framed positively ("You can help..."). A faint "Not now" button and hard-to-find instructions on changing the setting later complete the manipulative design.
These interface tricks, known as dark patterns, are considered unlawful under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and by the European Court of Justice when used to obtain consent for data processing. Pre-checked boxes do not count as valid consent under these rules.
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has also stressed in its guidelines on deceptive design patterns that consent must be freely given, informed, and unambiguous. Claude’s current design clearly fails to meet these standards, making it likely that Anthropic will soon draw the attention of privacy regulators."

Anthropic has agreed to pay a minimum of $1.5 billion to settle the lawsuit brought by a group of authors who sued the AI company for illegally using pirated copies of their books to train large-language models. This covers 500,000 works, but judge William Alsup says if the list exceeds that number, Anthropic must pay an addition $3,000 per work. This is the largest settlement in U.S. history. John Grisham, George R.R. Martin and Jodi Picoult are part of a group of nearly 20 bestselling authors who have sued OpenAI, alleging “systematic theft on a mass scale,” and this ruling could indicate the likely outcome of that case.
