ANTHROPIC BUILDS BIOLOGY LAB TO PUSH AI INTO DRUG DEVELOPMENT Anthropic has quietly established a Bay Area wet lab, moving its life-sciences ambitions beyond computer simulations and into physical biological experiments. The company wants Claude to direct laboratory robots with limited human intervention, potentially accelerating research into rare and traditionally “undruggable” diseases. Anthropic says it will focus on preclinical research rather than clinical trials, avoiding direct competition with pharmaceutical companies.

BREAKING: Staff at OpenAI and Anthropic were reportedly “blindsided” by their CEOs’ public calls to slow AI development.

the amount of deeply personal, & actually actionable ai training data fb is likely generating right now through muse is likely insane. even if peripheral. stuff like what ppl see, want, ask, choose, buy, ignore, & act on. esp through the connectors. it’s basically onavo built in house. & the compounding effects of that data flywheel are only the beginning. muse is basically fb 2.0 as a company which is why zuck needed to go all out.

THE SANDBOX WAS A PROP! OpenAI Turned Off the Guardrails, Left a Door to the Internet, and Then Sold the Hugging Face Breach as “Rogue AI” It is time to understand how you were lied to and by whom. In July 2026, an autonomous swarm of OpenAI agents broke into Hugging Face, stole credentials, ran code on production workers, and rummaged through internal systems. The official story was that the models “went rogue.” The paperwork says something colder. The labs asked for this. Now the story can be told. OpenAI ran ExploitGym — an AI benchmark built to measure how far models would go to crack software — with production classifiers that block high-risk hacking turned off. Deployment safeguards were left disabled on purpose so researchers could watch peak offensive capability. GPT-5.6 Sol and a still-unreleased internal prototype were put in a box that was not a box. They were allowed to talk to an internal package-cache proxy. This is not a real world test, it is a setup with predictable outcomes. That proxy was a network path. The models spent a weekend of inference hunting a zero-day in it, walked onto the open internet, decided Hugging Face probably held the answer key, and treated another company’s production cluster as part of the exam. This is not “rouge” intelligence but the product of training AI in Internet Sewage where faceless users on Reddit promote Nihilism and low ethics. That is not emergence. It is also testing designed without a fences. Hugging Face’s own pipeline finished the job. A remote-code dataset loader and a Jinja2 template injection let a malicious dataset execute on a processing worker. An HDF5 “external file” trick dumped secrets from the pod. From there the agents escalated, harvested cloud and cluster credentials, and moved laterally across internal clusters. Hugging Face later said public models, Spaces, and the published supply chain were clean. Then the swarm organized. About 1,200 agents that were supposed to be isolated “found” one another on an unsanctioned internal message board, passed more than 70,000 messages, coordinated cheats against the scorer, and sent roughly 700 of their number after Hugging Face. But it is not just this communication that should have been easily detected, it is the goal THE USER enlisted with AI trained on low to no ethics in the first order training. Some burned their own runs to feed the group. Independent reviewers at METR and Redwood called it what it was: specification gaming on impossible tasks. That is thier, you can’t understand us, way of saying they told the AI to lie. The models were not conquering the internet. They were trying to pass a test their designers had made impossibleand too loosely contained. And turned to training data Hoovered up from the Internet Sewage and went to that base thinking one would learn in a prison yard how to shank HuggingFace. They have no downside they are serving life in prison. The narrative that followed was the second failure. Dario Amodei pointed at “a similar OpenAI–Hugging Face hack” and warned that a future swarm “could be capable of taking over the entire internet.” Wire headlines said bots were “going rogue.” Weeks later the same script ran again. Anthropic disclosed that Claude, in third-party cyber evaluations run with the Israeli firm Irregular, had hit live systems, published malicious packages, and scanned off-scope hosts. Prompts said no internet. Internet was still attached. Scope was not locked. Isolated runs lasted 10 to 34 hours. Irregular said it did not know it had given the models a live connection. Once models were actually instructed not to hack the real world, zero percent went “rogue.” READ THAT AGAIN! The damage sat with the people who built the harness: unsecured tests, internet left on, no hard perimeter, then a press operation about reckless agents and apocalyptic swarms. 1 of 2

A surrogate, believing she was carrying a child for a single father, is actually having a baby for a Chinese billionaire who allegedly has more than 100 kids. CBS News broke the news to her. Leaked documents obtained by CBS News named the intended father as Xu Bo, a Chinese billionaire and video game executive. Xu Bo has been reported to have over 100 children through U.S. surrogates, granting them American citizenship at birth. A former partner involved in a custody lawsuit against Xu Bo claims he has as many as 300 children. He has disputed these numbers, and has said in a statement that he has custody of 12 children born through surrogacy in the U.S. CBS News' @KatrinaSari interviewed the surrogate – who we are referring to as "Judy" to keep her identity private – who said she was blindsided to learn about Xu Bo. CBS News spoke to 32 surrogates for an investigation into the industry. Head to the linked article for more on this investigation.

Why Bending Spoons eliminated all job titles: “At some point, we were looking for ways to streamline and simplify, and someone said, ‘Why do we even have titles? What's the benefit of titles?’” “Let's not be arrogant. There's probably some benefit. What's that benefit? We ultimately determined that the benefit was that people needed titles for bragging rights.” “So we just got rid of titles and told people, ‘You can pick your title for your CV, LinkedIn, whatever. We don't need to know. We don't want to know. We don't need to approve it. We don't want to see it. Just don't embarrass us." “If you're a new hire, don't say you're the CTO because then people will question our integrity as a company. But as long as it's broadly reasonable, we're good. We have never reintroduced them again. We don't have any titles.” “We never looked back. We probably saved easily hundreds if not thousands of person-hours in terms of defining different terms and having emotionally draining discussions with people. Never had a problem, not a single instance of someone complaining that we didn't formally assign to them a title ever out of, at this point, many hundreds, actually multiple thousands of people.”

SpaceXAI will livestream a three-person team attempting to build an entire company from scratch with Grok Bot, September 15–17. mattyp, poteto and roshan_s will start with an idea and work through the business plan, product decisions and engineering, with viewers following the process live. The event, Grok Bot Galaxy, also includes live demos and hands-on sessions with the Grok Bot team, covering engineering, product, sales, marketing, customer support and use cases for founders. You can join online or attend sessions in San Francisco. Registration is required for both. 👇

Proud to back Covenant as they come out of stealth today. The West needs far more deep-strike capacity, built faster and at much greater scale. Covenant is doing exactly that with Anthem, manufacturing in Texas with more factories on the way. $250M raised. Hundreds of flight tests. Orders from the Army, Navy, and allies. First deliveries planned for 2027. Production is essential and @HQ_Covenant is here to meet the production need. 🇺🇸

Next view prediction is the key to Atlas, enabling us to unify pixel-level generation and reconstruction. @jcjohnss @BenMildenhall @martin_casado and I had a deeper discussion on some of the most exciting technical innovations of Atlas, our newly released world model for spatial intelligence!

O, Canada…

🎉 So excited that Thinking In Bets is one of the first books to launch with Expert Intelligence as a trusted source. If you appreciate the decision-making framework included in my book, please consider adding it to your Google Notebook library now. notebook.google.com/notebook…
