Anthropic says in its own IPO filing that advanced AI could pose “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity.” Nothing says “please invest in our company” quite like “our product might eventually wipe out the species.”

Canada’s PM Mark Carney unfolds his plan to move away from Starlink to Canadian firm Telestat. Elon Musk has over 11,000 satellites in orbit while Telestat has 15 outdated ones. Good luck with that Canada.
