Anthropic lodged a confidential filing to launch an initial public offering, announcing a valuation of $965 billion. The move puts the San Francisco‑based firm ahead of rivals such as OpenAI, which has declined to comment, and SpaceX’s xAI, slated to go public in June. The rush to list has spilled into the housing market: several luxury listings now advertise that they will accept Anthropic or OpenAI shares in lieu of cash. Real‑estate agents say interest is coming primarily from employees of the AI firms, though no transaction has been confirmed.
Trump Administration’s AI Order
President Donald Trump signed an executive order requiring AI developers to provide the federal government with a 30‑day early‑access window to their most advanced models before public release. The order trims a previously discussed 90‑day window, a change credited to senior aides who warned that delays would hinder a regulatory framework. The measure is voluntary, but officials hint it could become a de‑facto prerequisite for government contracts.
Instagram Chatbot Hack
Hackers discovered a flaw in Instagram’s AI chatbot that lets them add an email address to a target account. By spoofing a VPN location and issuing a simple request, the bot sends a confirmation link, granting the attacker control. The breach affected high‑profile accounts, including a former White House Instagram profile used by Barack Obama and the account of U.S. Space Force chief master sergeant John Bentivegna. The compromised accounts were flooded with pro‑Iran content before Meta restored access.
DOGE Whistleblower Sues Elon Musk
Dan Berulis, an IT staffer at the National Labor Relations Board, filed a whistleblower complaint in April 2025 alleging that the cryptocurrency group DOGE exfiltrated about 10 gigabytes of sensitive data from the agency. After Elon Musk publicly labeled Berulis’s claim a lie on X, the whistleblower sued Musk for defamation in a Washington, D.C., court. Berulis also alleges that, shortly after Musk’s remarks, his car’s brakes were cut and a threatening note was left on his door, linking the harassment to the public dispute.
These three stories illustrate how quickly the tech sector’s rapid innovation can collide with legal, regulatory, and security challenges, from stock‑driven real‑estate gimmicks to high‑stakes lawsuits and vulnerabilities in AI‑powered tools.
