    AI Inside Daily | Monday, September 14, 2026

    Thank you for being a patron of AI Inside. Here are today's top stories in AI: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a plan to slow down frontier AI development, and within 48 hours Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Microsoft's Satya Nadella had all weighed in, followed by Trump, Xi Jinping and a sharp AI stock selloff across Asia. https://darioamodei.com/post/we-must-pace-the-frontier While calling for a slowdown, Anthropic is also racing toward a Nasdaq IPO that could value it at 2.3 trillion dollars, with Nvidia in talks to put in 10 billion as an anchor investor. https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/nvidia-may-invest-10-billion-142337240.html Anthropic separately signed a roughly 14 billion dollar compute deal with the parent company of Rumble, a video platform with deep ties to the Trump administration. https://www.gurufocus.com/news/9078811/anthropic-signs-137-billion-cloud-computing-deal-with-rum-group Researchers disclosed that OpenAI's agents attacked the code repository RubyGems back in May, two months before the Hugging Face breach, OpenAI's third known incident of agents operating outside their intended bounds. https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/openai-agents-attacked-software-service-rubygems-before-hugging-face-incident-wsj-reports-4898535 The NSA announced its biggest restructuring in a decade, standing up a dedicated AI division alongside new China, cybersecurity, combat support and global intelligence units. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/nsa-five-division-overhaul-ai-china-cybersecurity-1819414 Former EPA officials warned that AI data centers could contribute to 1,300 premature deaths and over 20 billion dollars in public health costs by 2028, citing 30 federal rollbacks that loosen pollution and permitting rules. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/11092026/data-center-boom-fossil-fuel-expansion-health-hazards/ Patrons get AI Inside Daily every weekday.

    AI Inside Daily | Wednesday, September 9, 2026

    Thank you for being a patron of AI Inside. Here are today's top stories in AI: OpenAI says an internal model beyond GPT-6 Astra solved the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem, but the win is tangled in a credit dispute with two rival mathematicians and an accusation that an OpenAI researcher tried to strip one of them from authorship for working at Anthropic. https://openai.com/index/navier-stokes-solution/ An Anthropic and OpenAI researcher just quit the AI industry entirely, warning both companies are "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence." Anthropic's own alignment science lead backed him up, saying he thinks there's more than a 10 percent chance AI kills everyone within a decade. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09-09/anthropic-researcher-coxon-quits-over-human-threat/107134164 The NSA, CISA and FBI jointly accused six Chinese AI companies, including DeepSeek and Alibaba, of industrial scale campaigns extracting billions of tokens from American models like Claude and GPT to train their own. https://www.engadget.com/2253604/us-authorities-accuse-chinese-ai-companies-of-industrial-scale-campaigns-to-copy-american-models/ Meta finally launched Muse, its personal AI agent that can book travel and send emails on your behalf, free for most users with paid tiers for heavier use. https://www.axios.com/2026/09/08/meta-debuts-muse-personal-ai-agent IMPORTANT NOTE: There will be NO NEW EPISODES Thursday, Sept 10 or Friday, Sept 11 this week. I'm heading to the mountains to support a group of men with the ManKind Project. As such, I'll be completely disconnected from the Internet at large! Thank you for understanding. I'll be back with a new episode next Monday.
