AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 🧐 1 in 5 workers wouldn't quit even if paid 120% of their salary to stop Julian Jacobs of Oxford and Google DeepMind surveyed 8,234 working-age adults in the UK, US, Denmark and India. He asked what guaranteed income would make them leave their job. Most would leave if offered their current salary. One in five would stay even at 120%. Pay is the main reason to work for just over a quarter of people. A third value the work itself, nearly a quarter come for the people around them, and 17% for the status. These motives look the same across incomes and in white- and blue-collar jobs. His conclusion: a basic income may be necessary if AI takes jobs, but it may not replace what work gives people beyond money. More in DeepMind's essay on the research. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 🤨 From Tuesday, older Claude models also hide a mark in what they write Anthropic emailed customers: on November 3 it starts watermarking text from Claude Mythos 5, Opus 4.7, Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6. Newer models like Opus 5.5 already carry the same mark. You can't see it. It's a pattern in word choice, with no hidden characters. It travels with copy-paste and may survive some editing. Anthropic says it holds nothing about you, your company or your chats. It applies worldwide, not only in the EU, whose AI Act made it necessary. For now only regulators, police, media, fact-checkers and researchers can check for it. A hit isn't proof Claude wrote the text. Anthropic's help page says text Claude only proofread or translated can carry the mark too. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 🚫A Russian passport could get your Claude account blocked even if you live abroad Russian users are reporting that their Claude accounts are being blocked right after identity verification. And some say it doesn’t matter that they no longer live in Russia. Anthropic has introduced identity checks for certain users, requiring them to submit documents such as a passport, driver’s license or national ID. In some cases, facial verification is also required. The problem? Users claim that submitting a Russian passport can lead to an account suspension, even when they permanently reside in countries where Claude is officially available. One reported case involves a Russian user living in New Zealand on a four-year visa who allegedly lost access despite having a paid subscription. Anthropic says verification may be triggered by suspicious activity or attempts to access Claude from unsupported regions, including Russia. Failure to pass the checks can result in account restrictions. So, does having a Russian passport put your Claude account at risk, regardless of where you live? That’s the question Anthropic still needs to clarify. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence ❗️The biggest risk in AI isn’t falling behind. It’s not realizing you’re already behind. We live in a time when the gap between AI pioneers and everyone else is becoming almost impossible to comprehend. Just a few months ago, companies were redesigning their workflows around the latest AI capabilities. Today, some of those processes are already outdated. Normally, slower technological progress would give businesses time to catch up, integrate new tools and establish common ways of working. Eventually, AI would become less of a competitive advantage as everyone learned to use it. But that’s not what’s happening. AI is developing so quickly that even people who actively follow the industry struggle to keep up. And the biggest challenge isn’t just learning new tools. It’s constantly rethinking what is actually possible. Tasks that seemed impossible six months ago might now be achievable with a simple prompt or a new model. This is why AI-native companies have such an advantage. They aren’t trying to squeeze new technology into old workflows. They’re building their entire operations around capabilities that keep evolving. The real competitive advantage is no longer simply having access to AI. It’s learning how to adapt as quickly as AI itself evolves. And the big question is whether traditional corporations can move fast enough to keep up. As Eric Hoffer once put it: “In times of change, learners inherit the earth.” @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

Hold the button on any reel, video or web page, ask your question out loud, and the answer arrives silently as a notification. It works from a screenshot of your screen, plus the post, its comments and a web search. His examples: ask about the video you're watching, get a breakdown of an article, or have it build what you saw in a reel for your business. The shortcut is open source and fully customizable; he says you can switch it to talk back to you while you scroll. Elon Musk's reaction: "Cool." @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence ⚠️ ChatGPT will now cut off chats that fixate on violence When a conversation shows someone fixating on violence or on seriously hurting another person, ChatGPT will be able to end the chat on its own. If it does that several times, OpenAI says it may pause the account for a while. Teens get tighter limits. ChatGPT will hold back practical details about weapons and security systems from users it thinks are under 18, even when the question looks harmless. OpenAI also plans to alert parents if a teen's account is paused for repeatedly talking about violence. For everyone, answers about past mass attacks get less detailed, with no rundown of the weapons used or how the attackers got them. The teen rules rely on age prediction, which guesses age from signals like behavior patterns. Adults placed in the teen mode by mistake can verify their age through Persona. The changes roll out over the next few weeks. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 📊 The world's new AI computing power is doubling every 9 months AI chips sold in the second quarter of 2026 added about 6.3 million H100-equivalents of computing power (measured in Nvidia's H100 chips), Epoch AI estimates. In early 2024 a quarter added 0.8 million. That's a trend of 2.5x a year. In 2023, right after ChatGPT and GPT-4, it was roughly 6x. Nvidia still sells most of it: almost 4 million of the 6.3 million. Google's own chips come second with 1.6 million, then Amazon, AMD, Huawei and Cambricon. Growth may be slowing further, but Epoch says quarterly sales are noisy and this could be a lull between chip generations: Nvidia has started shipping its next-gen Rubin chips but hadn't booked Rubin sales as of its quarter ending in July. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 💰 Anthropic now brings SpaceX more money than the US government Anthropic is the mystery "Customer B" in SpaceX's latest filing, a person familiar told Bloomberg. That one client paid about 34.5% of SpaceX's revenue last quarter, more than the US government, long its main source of income. It isn't buying rockets. Anthropic rents computing power from SpaceX's AI division, now called Super Intelligence, at data centers in Memphis. Anthropic's own IPO filing shows it could spend up to $120.5 billion there under contracts running to 2029, about $3.1 billion a month from December. It can cancel with 90 days' notice after early 2027. Neither company commented. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 🏦 Gave your AI agent your bank password? Bank of America says that's on you Bank of America emailed customers asking them never to share their login with anyone, "including an AI-enabled tool or agent that offers to act on your behalf." "If you do share your credentials, keep in mind that you're responsible for activity resulting from that access." The bank confirmed the email to TechCrunch after it surfaced online on October 27. Other banks go further. Morgan Stanley has started blocking third-party agents from its platforms, and JPMorgan and Citi are restricting them, Axios reported. Schwab executives say they are blocking Meta's Muse agent and similar tools from customer accounts. Most banks are moving toward giving agents read-only access instead. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 👁 Musk says Neuralink's Blindsight is ready and only waits for regulators Neuralink's second product, Blindsight, will "enable even those who are completely blind or have never seen to see," Elon Musk wrote. "It is ready from an engineering standpoint. Just waiting on regulatory approval." He gave no date. The first product, Telepathy, lets people use computers by thinking. Musk says its output "will vastly exceed the fastest human speech or typing in a few years." He posted it under a Neuralink update from a 72-hour hackathon with a participant in its speech study. Earlier this week Neuralink said one ALS patient in that study reached 75 words per minute in the first week. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 😱 Lab-grown brain cells made this AI video model 5x faster, startup says The neurons don't make the videos. The Biological Computing Co. in San Francisco spent four years growing real brain cells on electrodes and measuring how they process information. It turned what it learned into a small software layer on top of an existing open video model, Wan 2.2, adding less than 0.1% to its size. The result, mischief 1, launched today on fal and OpenRouter. It turns an image into a 3- or 5-second clip at 480p or 720p, from half a cent per second. A five-second clip costs 2.5 cents. The company says it is at least 5x faster than Wan 2.2 at the same quality. No independent test exists yet. Next, it wants to bring the approach to language models and physical AI. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 📉 Google just lost $500 billion in a day, and its own AI is part of why Alphabet stock fell about 13% on Thursday, its worst day since Google went public in 2004. Roughly $500 billion in market value vanished, the second-biggest one-day wipeout in US history after Nvidia's $589 billion drop in January 2025. Searches grew at their fastest pace in five years. Search revenue still missed forecasts, growing 12%, down from 19% in the first quarter. A Google executive told investors part of the reason is AI Mode, Google's chatbot-style search, which shows fewer ads. Meanwhile AI spending hit $51.4 billion in the quarter and free cash flow went to minus $9.1 billion, three times worse than analysts expected. Google says spending will "increase significantly" again in 2027. Cloud, the part that sells AI to companies, more than doubled to nearly $31 billion, per CNBC. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 📰 Democrats want Trump's Grok chats saved after reports he asked it about Venezuela Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia, the top Democrats on the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, sent Trump a letter asking him to preserve "any prompts" he gave AI chatbots such as Grok, ChatGPT and Claude for official duties, plus the answers, Politico reports. The trigger is a Time report. In December 2025, about a month before the US captured Nicolás Maduro, Trump spent hours talking to Musk's Grok, a source told Time, including asking how Venezuelans would react to Maduro's capture. Grok said many would likely celebrate. "You consulted Grok—but not Congress," the letter says. The two want a briefing by 5 p.m. on November 11, and could chair those committees if Democrats win the House next week. A White House official said it "preserves all required records in accordance with the law." @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence ⚠️ Hacks are piling up so fast that cyber rescue teams are turning work away Demand for the emergency teams companies call after a breach is at an all-time high, The Wall Street Journal reports. Insiders call this month "Black October," and many blame AI. Sophos security chief Ross McKerchar wrote that his own team handled seven incidents in seven days, from the PHP2Shell flaw to a GitLab bug. "A year ago, that would have been a quarter's worth." Former NSA cybersecurity director Rob Joyce was blunter: "IR firms are saturated & turning away work." The month was capped by two PHP flaws hitting more than two-thirds of the world's websites. Researchers used advanced AI models to find them, CNBC reports. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 💰 A 10-person startup spends 30x its payroll on AI agents that take Sundays off Spawn, which builds a multiplayer game creation platform, spent $3.1 million on AI tokens last month. Its founder says that makes it one of Anthropic's biggest customers. The work is done by "the fleet": permanent agents that each own a part of the company, from the game engine to finance to bug triage. They have names, memories and real access to company systems. In 30 days they shipped 77,000 substantial changes, about 108 an hour around the clock. Agents don't open pull requests. The full test suite runs every 15 minutes, and an agent fixes whatever breaks. Over the past year, 1,055 of 123,548 changes had to be reverted, about 0.9%. Only Anthropic's models can do the job, the founder writes. When he asked OpenAI's GPT Astra to secure the product, it turned off every feature. He couldn't sign up, create a game or play one. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech

AI Post — Artificial Intelligence 😮 An AI agent did brain surgery on a live mouse. Two Claude models said no A startup gave an AI agent a mouse with epilepsy, 19 possible gene therapies in a spreadsheet and a motorized surgery rig with cameras. The only goal: fewer seizures. The agent picked the therapy, chose the brain region, worked out the coordinates from three papers and injected 250 nanolitres, watching the spot for bleeding through the camera. A human surgeon opened the skull, and a vet held a kill switch the whole time. Opus 5.5 refused as soon as it saw biology. Opus 5 finished the dry run, then stopped before the live surgery, worried it could get cut off "partway through a live procedure with a needle somewhere in the brain." Sonnet 5 did the whole thing. When a calibration error put the target out of bounds, the agent refused to retry. Gabriel Ocana-Santero, CEO of Exin Therapeutics, couldn't talk it into trying anyway. The agent was right, and the mouse recovered well. @aipost 🏴 #news #ai #tech
