WSJ: “China Has Matched Anthropic in Cybersecurity, Resetting AI Race”
China’s Zhipu AI, has matched
Anthropic’s Mythos in certain benchmarks, such as exploiting cybersecurity bugs.
Well, that’s not good.
Instead of blaming the administration which did the correct thing…
Anthropic’s clearly at fault for not setting enough guardrails to prevent distillation.
Even before Fable release there were a lot of rumors that China had backdoors to distill it.
Part of it is the trillions of capex to accelerate the AI moat.
And the second part is not handing that work over on a silver platter for millions in API calls.
Elon Musk’s full interview and Grok Summary
Grok:
Elon Musk made his first-ever surprise appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 22, 2026, joining BlackRock CEO Larry Fink for a candid ~30-minute conversation. Once a vocal critic who called the WEF “boring” and an “unelected world government,” Musk showed up with a lighthearted tweet: “Speaking @wef in 20 mins. What should I say? 🤭”
The discussion was deeply philosophical and optimistic about humanity’s future, centered on Musk’s core mission across his companies:
• Protecting & expanding consciousness — He described human consciousness as a “tiny candle in a vast darkness” that could easily go out. The ultimate goal? Make life multi-planetary (via SpaceX to Mars and beyond) so consciousness survives any Earth disaster, natural or man-made. “We need to do everything we can to ensure that the light of consciousness is not extinguished.”
• Abundance through AI & robotics — Musk predicted an era of massive prosperity: “Everyone on Earth will have a robot” someday, handling labor and dramatically raising living standards. Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robots could be sold to the public by the end of 2027 (or next year in some quotes), with more robots than people eventually.
• AI timeline — AI could surpass any single human’s intelligence by the end of 2026, and smarter than all of humanity combined within 5 years. Tesla’s robotaxi service is already rolling out in a few cities and will be widespread in the US by end of 2026.
He urged optimism: “For quality of life, it is actually better to err on the side of being an optimist and wrong rather than being a pessimist and right.” The tone was pro-humanity, futuristic, and inspiring — no major confrontation with the Davos crowd.
