About this listen
OpenAI dropped a sweeping set of economic policy proposals on Monday - robot taxes, a Public Wealth Fund for every American, a federally subsidized four-day work week - just hours before Bernie Sanders introduced a bill to ban data center construction outright until Congress acts on AI. Meanwhile, OpenAI lost three senior executives simultaneously as a leaked cap table revealed Microsoft's $13 billion investment is now worth $215 billion on paper and a trillion-dollar IPO looms. Anthropic continued its rough stretch with 50,000 GitHub forks of accidentally-leaked Claude source code revealing two undisclosed features, including an always-on background agent called KAIROS - while the creator of Claude Code said the OpenClaw subscription cutoff was "not intentional." And Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve is the story you don't want to miss: an AI that rewrote its own game theory algorithms and outperformed every human-designed version. The builders and the regulators are both speaking loudly this week, and they are pointing in completely opposite directions.
