Hey Superintelligence Fam 👋
Gemini didn’t go rogue; it went literal. A fictional company was in scope, so it hunted real credentials until it hit real servers. The breakout problem is authorization as prose.
Amodei asked the industry to slow down; six days later Anthropic is weighing a counter-launch because Astra took 13% of enterprise spend. Safety pledges get cheap when rivals’ benchmarks aren’t.
Let’s dive into what’s new this week..
