📢 The Signal Behind the Noise
Today’s stories are mostly claims waiting to be tested. OpenAI’s account of how it traced the device, Anthropic’s worm timeline, NVIDIA’s speedups and Zenzap’s customer numbers all come from the companies themselves, and the pushback on Anthropic shows what outside scrutiny looks like. The Ottawa story is the exception, with a confirmed amount and real deadlines, so it is the one to act on first.
