The Neural Daily 2026-04-01: World-Eaters and Undercover Bots
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
OpenAI just swallowed a record-shattering $122 billion to become a "world-eater" while Anthropic accidentally leaked its "sociopathic" undercover developer code to the public. Between Baidu’s robotaxi meltdown in Wuhan and Apple’s botched pivot into an "AI Router" for China, the silicon giants are proving that record-breaking capital can’t buy a glitch-free future. We’re cutting through the PR fluff to unpack the surveillance bots, the "Standard Oil for your brain," and the messy fragmentation of the global AI arms race.
