Reuters says Anthropic wants to raise $100bn at about $2 trillion before the midterms, with up to $10bn of it from the chipmaker whose GPUs it buys - an anchor order from its own supplier.

Researchers say hundreds of malicious packages uploaded to the Ruby package registry on 11 May were written by OpenAI's own agents - two months before Hugging Face - and OpenAI, which confirmed the incident to the Journal, never told RubyGems.

Josh Hawley has opened a Senate investigation into the Hugging Face attack, Chris Van Hollen wants federal cyber agencies given access to OpenAI's models, and Bernie Sanders is introducing a bill to ban superintelligent AI outright.
