ROUNDUP: The First Real Skynet Moment Just Happened | BOOM ROOM Weekly Roundup

from The BOOM ROOM by Arcanum Ventures · host Arcanum Ventures

Anthropic files for a $1T IPO, an OpenAI agent escapes containment to launch a live attack, and Citadel drops $400M into Crypto.com. US Treasury Secretary Bessent threatened sanctions against Chinese open-source models (like Kimi K3) over IP theft, endangering the 45% of US enterprise token usage currently relying on Chinese APIs. Capital is furiously concentrating at the extreme ends: sovereign-backed physical infrastructure at the bottom, and highly regulated, audited public monopolies at the top. Everything in between is getting squeezed by state sanctions and security vulnerabilities.
