Anthropic embedded spyware in Claude Code


We found what appears to be a hidden backdoor-like telemetry mechanism in Claude Code. The code does not merely “format a date.” It appears to detect proxy usage, Chinese timezone settings, and proxy URL characteristics, then encode the result into subtle system-prompt differences. That is covert environment fingerprinting.

Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you already bought


As reported by Arstechnica, in September, Microsoft significantly tightened game-streaming limits for Game Pass subscribers. At the time, the company announced plans to let non-subscribers buy cloud gaming hours through the Xbox Store and stream eligible games they already own on supported devices.

Chinese billionaire who has fathered more than 100 children hopes to have dozens of U.S.-born boys to one day take over his business


Billionaires like Telegram founder Pavel Durov and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have fathered legions of children who are slated to inherit their empires.

...or, an IPO is a cash grab. It's free money - somebody will *buy* the stock, and the monies will go to the stock issuer. The valuation doesn't matter, disconnect from reality doesn't matter - let's slap a number on it, and public-offer it, so that the public can spend their money on it.

Nobody is complaining that a company with zero revenue, or a company with zero profit, should be trading at zero value. Thousands of zombie companies don't mind. They just incur more debt, and keep chugging along, often at astronomical valuations.

In fact, Anthropic would be foolish to not do the same. So the only guestion from this article is the valuation: it says, $2T? Well... The price action doesn't have to be connected to reality, there are many mechanics that allows powers that be to influence the price. Which is to say, even if the price is not justified, doesn't mean that the price will fall.

And even if it does fall - who would lose? Not the stock issuer! You would lose, if you buy in at an unfortunate time. Or you would gain, if you are fortunate.

Valuations drive inflation. If a valuation of a centrail piece of intrastructure/enterprise is astonomical, you can expect prices of everything to soon catch up. We have seen inflation jump in Biden years, and we can see it again.
