One of the biggest AI companies just hit a revenue milestone that rewrites the entire competitive scoreboard - and then announced a second move that's even more unusual than the first. Meanwhile, a nation-state has now put a specific data center campus in its crosshairs, and the insurance industry is starting to respond. Google is rolling out a feature that may be the most consequential product decision it's ever had to make - and it wasn't optional. And that number about how often AI search gets it wrong? You're going to want to hear it before your next Google query.

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.

Yesterday in AI — Weekend Recap | Monday, April 6, 2026

This weekend, Anthropic made two major moves: cutting off OpenClaw from Claude subscriptions (and sparking serious developer backlash), then turning around and dropping $400M on a stealth biotech startup. Meanwhile, Perplexity launched an AI tax filing tool, ChatGPT Voice Mode landed on Apple CarPlay, and Marc Andreessen gave the clearest explanation yet of why AI agents work — and why they're going to need bank accounts. On the roads, Waymo hit 500,000 paid rides a week while Baidu's robotaxi fleet froze mid-traffic in Wuhan. Plus: a hospital CEO wants to replace radiologists with AI, a San Diego attorney was hit with a $96K fine for AI-hallucinated court filings, and CISA is warning of an actively exploited critical flaw in the Langflow AI agent framework. Patch now if you're running it.
