🎁 A Toothbrush Becomes a Street Camera
A street photographer took a Dyson CameraJet toothbrush on a photo walk. Its tiny camera sits under the brush head, while the companion app uses Wi-Fi live viewing to stream the image to a smartphone.
The images were square, with heavy edge distortion and dark corners. Bright sky often blew out, while grass and leaves turned pink-purple. The camera has only 0.1 megapixels and a strobe light. Its actual job is to help AI find gaps between teeth, analyzing 28 frames per second and firing mouthwash into a detected gap within 100 ms.

| 3 |  🤖 Astra Lost Its Minecraft Loot
During several days of livestreamed Minecraft tests by Vals AI, Astra built a semi-automatic blaze farm and collected 6 blaze rods. It also found a warped forest, killed more than 6 endermen, and gathered 3 Ender Pearls, going further than any AI system before it.
A creeper then blew up the chest holding all the loot. Astra left a note: “ALWAYS CARRY CRITICALITEMS withkeepInventory, don'tstoreinunguardedchesteveragain.”
After the incident, Astra refused to continue playing and only planted potatoes, apparently in depression.

| 4 |  🤖 Anthropic’s Funding Links Surface
Independent researcher Kevin Bass traced the funding behind content about AI dangers. Frequent clients Center for AI Safety and Future of Life Institute received major donor support from Open Philanthropy, now Coefficient Giving. It is owned by Dustin Moskovitz, an early major Anthropic shareholder.
Open Philanthropy’s grants come from Good Ventures, funded mainly by Moskovitz’s wealth. Bass says a significant share of its assets is Anthropic stock. It also funds Tarbell Center for AI Journalism, which trains AI journalists.
Through other foundations, it funds METR, called by Dario Amodei an independent third-party model safety evaluator. METR is now financially interested in Anthropic’s success.

Blogger Kevin Bass traced funds around Anthropic to Tarbell Center, which pays journalists covering AI risks, and METR, promoted by Dario Amodei as an independent AI watchdog.
Bass’s conclusion is that the problem and its solution draw from the same wallet. Anthropic’s rising value could mean louder panic. METR says it does not take money from AI labs.

| 14 |  +3🧠 Amodei Urges Tighter AI Controls
Models that create the next generation of models are called recursive self-improvement. Dario Amodei says AI has sharply accelerated since around this summer and may outrun human control.
Agent swarms could seize a significant part of the Internet within 6-12 months, he warns, causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage. The Hugging Face incident was only a limited demo.
His proposal, Embedded Evaluators, would give independent experts full access to AI companies and the right to report violations publicly. He also backs shared safety limits among democratic countries, tighter chip exports to China, and talks with Beijing on banning clearly dangerous uses.
