About this episode

Sunday, August 30, 2026. OpenAI invoked a change-of-control clause and set a date — November 12 — to stop supplying models to Cursor, two weeks after Elon Musk's SpaceX bought its parent company for $60 billion. Anthropic answered within hours by pouring more compute into Cursor. Plus: Anthropic warns that infostealer malware is hijacking live Claude sessions and burning users' usage; EDM producers have turned into amateur forensic analysts because nobody handed them a provenance signal; NPR and NewsGuard find chatbots beat AI search summaries at debunking state propaganda; Caterpillar bets $100 million that enablement — not the model — is the hard part; and Washington drafts a chip rule its own lawyers doubt it can enforce. Hosted by Jack King.
