Grok Says Its AI-Generated Version of Is'Not Historically Accurate' Months after Elon Musk declared that the xAI model would outclass Christopher Nolan's mythological epic, the bot itself admitted defeat. You don't hear the defenders of so-called western civilization talk much about these days. Maybe that's because their rabid denunciations of Christopher Nolan's film adaptation of Homer's epic were buried in an avalanche of money. The July blockbuster has grossed nearly $1.8 billion worldwide, silencing the right-wingers who predicted a massive flop due to diverse casting and deviations from the source material. Perhaps the loudest of these preemptive critics was Elon Musk.

Why Anthropic's IPO Prospectus Is Missing So Many Key Figures Anthropic's S-1 filing is hundreds of pages long--and it leaves out quite a few financial details. "Anthropic owes investors more information," one analyst tells WIRED. Anthropic filed its hotly anticipated IPO prospectus on Monday, spelling out parts of the company's business, strategy, and risk profile ahead of its public debut. Though the filing, known as an S-1, is several hundred pages long, it has some notable omissions--namely, certain financial figures. "Claude has experienced the fastest enterprise adoption of any technology in history, as demonstrated by revenue growing from $0 at commercial launch in the first quarter of 2023 to $_____ for the three months ended September 30, 2026," reads the first of dozens of such examples.

The AI giant's new filing calls the promise a "revocable," nonbinding "expression" that depends on market conditions. Dario Amodei, co-founder and CEO of Anthropic, speaks at the Viva Technology conference in Paris, France, May 22, 2024. Get your news from a source that's not owned and controlled by oligarchs. The AI giant Anthropic disclosed its initial public offering filing with the SEC on Monday in what is expected to become one of the largest stock debuts in history. The offering is set to take place around the middle of November.

Anthropic thinks "closing the loop" is the best path to AI triumph--and a recipe for "existential" threats to humanity. Anthropic has officially filed the prospectus for its initial public offering, which means the AI lab has put all kinds of formerly private information on display. While the prospectus contains the eye-popping revenue--and even larger expenditures--you might expect, the biggest section of the filing by far is given over to "risk factors," which are all the things that could squash Anthropic's big plans. While much has been made about the extent to which AI represents an existential threat to humankind, the specific mechanisms by which it could bring about that destruction are largely opaque. If nothing else, the 94 pages that Anthropic's prospectus devotes to risk factors make clear both where it sees the danger coming from, and the ways in which its researchers are running toward it in order to win the AI arms race.

Anthropic's IPO Prospectus Reveals What's Under the Hood Anthropic on Monday filed documents ahead of a blockbuster IPO that offers insight into the company's financials, risk factors, and views on the future of AI. Anthropic filed key paperwork on Monday ahead of a high-anticipated initial public offering, providing new details about its finances and the risks facing its business. According to the filing, the artificial intelligence company plans to go public on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT. The IPO could come later in November, The Wall Street Journal reported . The S-1 prospectus does not include details on how much the company plans to raise or its targeted valuation; The New York Times reported in August that it was looking to raise more than $100 billion with a valuation around $2 trillion.

Two US senators say the Trump administration is breaking the law by withholding the FISA court decision while it presses Congress to renew America's most sweeping surveillance program. Two Democratic senators who have long overseen US intelligence say the Trump administration is illegally withholding a secret court's findings from Congress until lawmakers renew a program that lets federal agents read Americans' communications without a warrant. Seven months ago, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court objected to search filters that let intelligence analysts pull Americans' messages from intercepted data without the approvals, written justifications, or records the law requires. The court approved another year of surveillance anyway. The ruling has never been made public, and Senators Ron Wyden of Oregon and Adam Schiff of California say the administration's own deadline for releasing it passed in September.

Jayden, Sam, and Zack are eagerly pitching editors on reported stories and investigative features. "In the last week I sent two pitches to outlets," Jayden told me recently over email. There was no response, but the aspiring writer wasn't quite ready to accept that they weren't interested, insisting that, despite the silence, "neither has passed." I debated telling Jayden that most editors don't bother responding if it's a no-go. Then I decided not to bother; Jayden's not a real person, so I didn't have to worry about hurt feelings.

This AI Radio Host Speaks Spanish and Backs Immigrants. Coyotec is bilingual, swears, and tells listeners how to defend themselves against ICE. Its popularity comes as more broadcasters are experimenting with artificial personalities. As footage of ICE raids, deportations, and protests flooded social media feeds throughout the summer of 2025 and into the following year, Eduardo Maytorena wasn't sure what his team should do. At the time, Maytorena was the LA station general manager for the broadcasting giant Entravision, which features programming in Spanish and English for Latino audiences.

Paris Marx, author of Hyperscale, has been tracking global data center development for years. The US has a lot to learn from what's happened everywhere from Ireland to New Zealand. Paris Marx's new book couldn't have landed at a better time. The longtime critic of Big Tech and host of the Tech Won't Save Us podcast has been thinking about data centers for years, and Hyperscale: The Ambition and Excess of Big Tech's Data Empires comes out right as opposition hits a fever pitch. "I certainly didn't predict that it was all going to kind of come to a head as my book was coming out," he says with a laugh.

My Smart Home Devices Have Been Secretly Eating My Wi-Fi Data, and I'm Not Alone My Google Home Speaker had been burning through more data than all the rest of my devices combined. As I looked into it further, I found other smart home devices that had the same problem. If you had to estimate how much data your smart speaker was using over the course of a couple of weeks, would you guess three terabytes? That's what one Google Home Speaker user discovered when he checked his home Wi-Fi's usage, according to Reddit posts reported on by 9to5Google. The Google Gemini-powered smart speakers have apparently been downloading huge amounts of data to the device over the past two weeks, which could put a serious damper on your Wi-Fi network.
