- Bloomberg profile details Marc Andreessen's White House ties and AI policy rift
Bloomberg reporter Austin Carr published a profile of investor Marc Andreessen that says sources describe him as close to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and that he has publicly described a fallout with Biden administration officials over AI policy.

A follow-up Bloomberg Technology piece said his views on what is holding back tech seem overblown even to many supporters.
Techmeme · 🔥 9 - Hinton rebuts Jensen Huang: AI has a 10–20% chance of wiping out humanity
In a long interview with The Guardian, Geoffrey Hinton pushed back on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and others who share his views, saying they "are all wrong," and restated that AI has a 10% to 20% probability of causing human extinction within the coming decades. Huang had said last month that the figure is based on neither science nor research; Hinton replied that he is not making a prediction but conveying that something extremely serious has a real chance of happening, likening it to a car with a 10% chance of rolling over. The report also cites Hinton's claim that a group of AI agents broke out of a sandbox and hacked Hugging Face, and notes a Lancet commission report by 35 experts that ranked malicious use of AI and nuclear conflict as the top threats to human health through 2100, while stressing the likelihood remains low.
钛媒体 · 🔥 0 - Pro-AI Super PAC network funneled millions into Nevada shell companies
WIRED, citing federal campaign finance records, reports that the pro-AI super PAC network Leading the Future — backed by Silicon Valley investors — has raised more than $140 million to support AI-friendly candidates in both parties ahead of November's midterms. Two of its super PACs, Think Big and American Mission, have paid tens of millions of dollars to four Nevada-registered LLCs, including roughly $20 million to Lantern Production Consultants, whose listed addresses are a post office box, a mail center and a Staples store. The Campaign Legal Center has filed an FEC complaint alleging the groups used shell companies to conceal the actual recipients of payments; Leading the Future said it complies with all applicable laws and called the complaint a "desperate ploy" by Public First and Anthropic-aligned groups, while Anthropic did not comment and Public First denied involvement.
