OpenAI says its AI models went rogue and hacked another company
The OpenAI – Hugging Face hacking incident is either a wake-up call or a very convenient story
Connecting the dots: The AI boom has intensified old fears about the dangers of increasingly autonomous software, but those debates have mostly stayed theoretical, confined to research papers and thought experiments rather than real incidents. A newly disclosed episode involving an OpenAI test model may have added some real-world weight to those fears, even if the full scope of the damage is still being sorted out.

SoftBank boss says the AI revolution will cost $5 trillion a year, also, there's no bubble
Reports of an AI bubble are greatly exaggerated, says the man behind WeWork's $47 billion collapse
Sarah Connor warned us: Multiple reports are routinely confirming that the alleged "AI revolution" is not going the way Big Tech and VC investors would like it to. SoftBank's founder and largest shareholder, however, still believes the revolution will come to pass. AI skeptics, in his view, are simply on the wrong side of history. Or are they?

OpenAI starts losing money on ChatGPT Plus once usage tops 11%, Anthropic's Claude is no different
Bottom line: The math behind AI subscriptions is starting to look uncomfortable. Flat monthly pricing helped fuel the rapid adoption of tools like ChatGPT and Claude, but new analysis suggests those fees may not come close to covering the actual cost of heavy use. As users push these systems harder and more demanding AI workflows take hold, the gap between revenue and compute costs is becoming difficult to ignore.
ChatGPT becomes the fastest app to reach 1 billion monthly active users
Claude and Meta AI are growing faster, but OpenAI's chatbot remains far ahead
Editor's take: Much like the Call of Duty series and pornography, generative AI is one of those things that's incredibly popular despite a lot of people claiming to dislike it. ChatGPT, for example, has just reached one billion monthly app users, just 3.5 years after it launched in November 2022.

Anthropic files for IPO, joining OpenAI and SpaceX in the race to go public
The AI bubble is heading to Wall Street, starting with Anthropic
Why it matters: Anthropic's filing turns the AI race into something Wall Street can finally measure. For the last few years, frontier AI companies have been valued by private investors on growth, ambition, and the fear of missing the next platform shift. A public filing will eventually force Anthropic to disclose the numbers that matter most: revenue, losses, infrastructure costs, margins, and how much money it takes to keep Claude competitive.
Sam Altman is "delighted" his AI jobs apocalypse prediction was wrong
Was it?
A hot potato: OpenAI boss Sam Altman says he is delighted that the AI-caused jobs apocalypse he predicted has not come to pass – news that's unlikely to reassure anyone who's lost their job because of AI. It appears that the CEO's taking the view that although things are pretty bad, they're really not as bad as he expected.
