Anthropic

Anthropic is lobbying for federal legislation that would allow the US government to block an AI model's release only if it risks causing over $1 billion in damages or killing or injuring more than 50 people. The proposed bill, details of which were reported by Politico, represents the company's latest effort to shape AI safety regulation around catastrophic, rather than widespread, risks.

Anthropic's Claude, an AI model, has reportedly solved a 25-year cryptographic mystery by determining that numbers released by the NSA in the 1990s, long suspected of hiding a deliberate backdoor, were in fact generated by a simple computer program. The finding, reported by CoinDesk, also clarifies that Bitcoin was never among those numbers, leaving the cryptocurrency's quantum security concerns unchanged.
