Google has announced plans to invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic, the developer of Claude AI. The previous record was $13 billion from Microsoft into OpenAI. Amazon had already given Anthropic $4 billion. Three tech giants are now financially tied to the three leaders of the frontier AI race. Independent players at this level have effectively disappeared. Computing power is controlled by the same cloud providers. Training data flows from platforms owned by the same corporations. Talent is recruited by whoever has the deepest pockets. This is not competition. This is structural monopoly. Anthropic markets itself as a safety-first AI lab with Constitutional AI. The question remains: who writes the constitution? A private company now dependent on Google and Amazon. Corporate oversight of "safe AI" is not neutral academic process. It is the definition of allowable knowledge through the lens of business interests. When you talk to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, your conversations are stored on corporate servers. Official reason: improving models. Default setting: data collection. You can opt out if you find the buried setting. Most users never will. The alternative is not utopian. Open models like Meta LLaMA 4 and Mistral AI can run locally on your own hardware. Ollama and LM Studio provide one-command installation. Local AI means no data collection. No corporate control. No surveillance. Frontier models are more capable. But for most daily tasks, open models are sufficient. The question is not technical. It is structural. And the window for keeping AI as a public good rather than a corporate asset is closing. https://newsgroup.site/google-40-billion-anthropic-ai-monopoly-open-source/ #AI #Monopoly #Google #Anthropic #OpenAI #Microsoft #Amazon #OpenSource #Privacy #LocalAI

Anthropic on nyt maailman arvokkain tekoälyfirma, ainakin sen pohjalta, mitä yhtiön osakkeista maksetaan pörssin ulkopuolisilla kauppapaikoilla Yhtiö keräsi myös jättimäisen, jopa 40 miljardin dollarin sijoituksen Googlelta. Googlen jättisijoitus todennäköisesti estää myös kauan spekuloidun diilin, jossa Apple ostaisi Anthropicin itselleen. https://dawn.fi/uutiset/2026/04/25/anthropic-arvostus-google-sijoitus #anthropic #tekoäly #google #ai #uutiset #talous #teknologia #tekniikka

US Top News and Analysis | AI talent war: Software industry is a new target as top executives jump ship to OpenAI AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Top‑level executives from major software firms such as Salesforce, Snowflake, Datadog and Palantir have recently been recruited by AI powerhouses OpenAI and Anthropic, drawn by generous compensation and the chance to bring established enterprise relationships to the fast‑growing AI sector. Their moves underscore a broader “talent war” as AI companies shift focus toward the lucrative enterprise market—now about 40 % of OpenAI’s revenue and slated to reach 50 % by year‑end—while traditional software giants grapple with falling stock values and looming layoffs amid fears that AI tools will erode the cloud‑subscription model. The poaching of seasoned go‑to‑market leaders highlights AI firms’ strategy to accelerate this segment, even as cultural mismatches and demanding work‑hours pose challenges for some hires.

Anthropic's Mythos AI model sparks fears of turbocharged hacking: Cyberdefenses could be exposed faster than fixes could be deployed. Anthropic’s new Mythos AI model is raising concern among governments and companies that it could outpace current cyber security defenses, turbocharge hacking, and expose weaknesses faster than they can be fixed. 🔓 https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/04/anthropics-mythos-ai-model-sparks-fears-of-turbocharged-hacking/ #anthropic #ai #mythos #hacking #week #it #itsecurity #cybersecurity #weekness

Security — Anthropic's super-scary bug hunting model Mythos is shaping up to be a nothingburger - Hackpocalypse deferred Anthropic's Mythos model is purportedly so good at finding vulnerabilities that the Claude-maker is afraid to make it available to the general public for fear that criminals will take advantage. But early analysis shows that Mythos may not be as dangerous as some would have you believe. 🔓 https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/22/anthropic_mythos_hype_nothingburger/ #mythos #anthropic #claude #danger #ai #aislop #mythos #slop

More breathless, but vague praise for #Mythos. Now #mozilla's CTO has come out with a detail-free, hyperbole-laden blog post. I can't get anything below the surface level on this blog post. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. The blog post itself contains no links or references (except a link to a prior blog post)The Firefox 150 release notes has zero mentions of #Claude, #Anthropic, or Mythos.The security advisories in Firefox 150 lists 41 bugsAnthropic is credited exactly 3 times.The blog post says This week’s release of Firefox 150 includes fixes for 271 vulnerabilities identified during this initial evaluationit is not clear why the blog says 271, the release lists 41 issues, and only 3 acknowledge AnthropicI've tried looking on Mozilla's bugzilla and I have no access to any bug that is named in those release notes. I can't even see the conversation, much less the code change. How is someone supposed to put this blog post's claims into context?

5️⃣ #Anthropic hat bei einer Untersuchung der eigenen Modelle herausgefunden, dass Chatbots bessere Ergebnisse liefern, wenn man nett mit ihnen ist. Sie konnten nachweisen, dass LLMs eine interne Repräsentation von Emotionen wie «glücklich» oder «besorgt» haben, und dies die Ergebnisse beeinflussen kann. So neigt eine LLM zum Beispiel eher zu Halluzinationen, wenn sie am Verzweifeln ist (Anmerkung der Redaktion: Verläuft vielleicht die Korrelation genau umgekehrt?). https://transformer-circuits.pub/2026/emotions/

Has anyone with a @Tutanota@mastodon.social email address also had issues signing up for an #Anthropic account? I've had 2 addresses auto-banned. My only theory is that their system is registering blocked browser trackers, non-mainstream email provider, and immediate subscription as so-fishy-it's-malicious. Support has not responded to any of my requests; but they're totally fine sending those accounts marketing emails 😅😭 #privacy

The Guardian | ‘Too powerful for the public’: Inside Anthropic’s bid to win the AI publicity war by Aisha Down The firm says it withheld an AI model on cybersecurity grounds but sceptics say this was hype to lure investment This week, the AI company Anthropic said it had created an AI model so powerful that, out of a sense of overwhelming responsibility, it was not going to release it to the public. The US treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, summoned the heads of major banks for a chat about the model, Mythos. The Reform UK MP Danny Kruger wrote a letter to the government urging it to “engage with AI firm Anthropic whose new frontier model Claude Mythos could present catastrophic cybersecurity risks to the UK”. X went wild. Continue reading...

yahoo news | Trump name-drops Palantir by ticker symbol, 1st president to hype a stock. It... President Donald Trump broke new ground for a sitting commander‑in‑chief by publicly praising a publicly traded company by its ticker symbol. In a Truth Social post on Friday he wrote, “Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has proven to have great war‑fighting capabilities and equipment. Just ask our enemies!!! President DJT.” The endorsement arrived at the tail end of a brutal week for Palantir shares, which had slipped 14‑16 % over the prior five days and were down about 6 % on Friday before the post. Within minutes the stock rallied roughly 3 % from around $123, though it still closed lower at $128.06, a move that sparked immediate scrutiny from lawmakers and market observers. The steep sell‑off was driven less by Trump’s tweet than by broader pressure on the software and defense‑AI sectors. Anthropic’s release of its Claude Mythos Preview AI model and the company’s rapidly growing ARR raised doubts about Palantir’s AI‑centric valuation, while the Pentagon’s March blacklist of Anthropic forced Palantir to strip Claude from its Maven Smart Systems platform and rebuild portions of its defense software. Investor Michael Burry amplified the panic with a now‑deleted X post claiming “Anthropic is eating Palantir’s lunch,” backed by data showing a surge in corporate spend on Anthropic. At the same time, the Trump administration’s deep connections to Palantir—co‑founder Peter Thiel’s longtime support, CEO Alex Karp’s donations to MAGA Inc. and the White House renovation fund, and a near‑doubling of federal contracts to $970.5 million—highlighted potential conflicts of interest as Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg moved Palantir’s Maven AI system toward Program‑of‑Record status. The episode underscores how a single presidential post can move markets in seconds, echoing previous instances where Trump’s announcements triggered sharp swings in oil futures and other securities. Analysts remain divided: Wedbush’s Dan Ives maintains an Outperform rating with a $230 target, citing 70 % YoY revenue growth, while Burry continues to hold long‑dated puts, labeling the stock “wildly overvalued.” Lawmakers have noted the lack of clear insider‑trading rules for a president who name‑drops a ticker, and the White House has warned staff against using nonpublic information for trades. As Palantir’s share price fluctuates, the episode raises fresh questions about the influence of political figures on publicly traded companies and the need for transparency in such disclosures.

Times of India | Meta's most-popular former employee and father of AI Yann LeCun calls Anthropic's latest model that has everyone scared, as 'Drama' Yann LeCun, Meta's former chief AI scientist and deep learning pioneer, has dismissed the panic around Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview as "BS from self-delusion." While the model's reported ability to find vulnerabilities in every major operating system and browser spooked Wall Street and triggered an emergency Fed meeting, LeCun and other AI researchers argue the threat is overhyped—though cybersecurity firms using Mythos disagree.
