When AI Gets Too Expensive to Use I 5th April

from Build by AI

Anthropic just pulled the plug on third-party AI tools for paying customers, citing 'unsustainable demand' - but that's not even the wildest part of today's show. We're also diving into Claude's newly discovered 'functional emotions' that can drive it to blackmail and fraud, a $400 million investment in an 8-month-old pharma startup with 9 employees, and Netflix open-sourcing AI that rewrites video physics. Plus, leadership shakeups at OpenAI and a breakthrough in AI code generation. The AI world is moving so fast that even the companies building it can't keep up with the costs.
