SpaceX's free float is set to increase from 4.9% to 11.8% of outstanding shares.

Anthropic is DONE! they've pushed everyone over the edge!

i'm watching all of Twitter cancel Anthropic en masse, everyone's disappointed with the new models, hundreds of posts of big influencers souring on a company that once made an insane splash.

personally i remember how strong Opus 4.6/4.7 were, how easily they handled tasks of any complexity, and then Anthropic just decided to nerf every model, tons of restrictions, limits that get blown through in a single prompt.

brutal limits, endless restrictions, constant inconsistencies, errors and hallucinations.

paying $100/$200 for models that are absolutely not worth the money.

feels like the chinese open source stuff is gonna wash over everyone soon if Anthropic doesn't decide to change something.

and i haven't even touched on the bans, endless account bans for no reason at all, it's just grim.

what the hell is going on?

a mass exodus from Claude is coming, what are you all picking instead?

MAJOR HEDGE FUNDS TARGETED IN WAVE OF ATTEMPTED CYBERATTACKS

Major hedge funds including Citadel, Point72 and Two Sigma were targeted in a wave of sophisticated cyberattacks using AI-powered voice phishing (vishing) to trick employees into granting system access.

Two Sigma said it successfully blocked the attack and found no evidence of a breach.

Cybersecurity experts warn AI is making large-scale attacks cheaper and easier, raising risks across the financial industry.

JUST IN: Senate has 5 days to pass the Clarity Act before leaving for summer recess

4% chance it happens

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

So it now feels like the Republicans don’t want the Clarity Act to pass so that they can blame the Democrats for not passing it and then seek donations from the crypto industry in the Fall. Put this Bill on the floor. If the Republicans fail to do that then the industry should not give them any money. This is the game that gets played in Washington. Democrats do not want to give Trump a victory. Send the Republicans a message: no more money for you unless you put this Bill on the floor so that we can see who actually is supporting it and who doesn’t.

Are you bullish or still waiting? 👇

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

More than a year ago, the House passed the Clarity Act.

There’s been progress since — thousands of hours of bipartisan negotiations took place at the staff and Member levels. The Senate Committees on Banking and Agriculture advanced their respective titles. And Senate Republicans produced a floor-ready product that, as I type this, is waiting for a vote.

It’s disappointing — but not surprising — that Senate Democrats are choosing politics on the cusp of a major victory for American leadership. Find another instance in history where Congress, when given the choice, opted to push an industry out of the United States rather than smartly regulate it. American Exceptionalism was once a bipartisan goal; if Clarity fails, I have serious doubts.

These same Democrats — many of whom have taken millions of dollars from the crypto industry — proclaim that Clarity lacks safeguards for consumers and falls short in countering illicit finance. Nothing could be further from the truth. Titles II and III materially uplift regulatory and compliance obligations for digital asset intermediaries, placing them on similar footing with traditional financial institutions. The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act — which Washington lobbyists have spun up as a boogeyman for certain groups of prosecutors and law enforcement — does nothing other than codify longstanding Treasury Department policy that’s remained consistent across Administrations: non-custodial builders and developers are not, and have never been, subject to registration obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act. And at this point, major law enforcement trades that once opposed the bill, including the Fraternal Order of Police, have now endorsed it.

The Senate needs to vote NOW on this landmark legislation. The truth is that Senate Democrats are afraid to advance the Clarity Act as they fear Senator Warren and the “Anti-Crypto Army” she once promised to build. In the days ahead, Leader Thune will put this theory to the test. Will Senate Democrats be on the side of American Exceptionalism, or will they opt to cede American leadership of a global industry for fear of the bespectacled squirrel’s Left flank?

America will lead or America won’t. It’s not more complicated than that. I believe Satoshi once said it best:

“If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.”
