## Resource

The U.S. government has issued a sweeping export control directive forcing Anthropic to take its most advanced AI models completely offline — not just for foreign users, but for everyone, including its own employees. Shockingly, Amazon's Andy Jassy may have played a direct role in triggering the shutdown after researchers uncovered a serious vulnerability. Meanwhile, Meta is being forced by Beijing to reverse a $2 billion AI acquisition it already completed, while internal chaos grips the company's 6,500-person AI unit. KPMG had to retract a published report after it was found to contain AI hallucinations — a major embarrassment that hit the same week a court ruled Google legally liable for false AI-generated outputs. On the financial front, SpaceX's record-shattering IPO pushed Elon Musk past a trillion-dollar net worth, while Anthropic and OpenAI are both eyeing public markets at near-trillion-dollar valuations. Jeff Bezos quietly closed a $12 billion funding round for his secretive AI startup with just 150 employees. Multiple state attorneys general have now launched investigations into OpenAI. Today's stories share one urgent theme: the era of consequence-free AI deployment is over. Subscribe to Daily Inference: dailyinference.com Love AI?
