Everyone has an opinion about why.
But there’s one question you almost never hear asked:
Who’s actually getting paid?

We scraped through the data and found that 50% of all clinical trials are at risk of being cancelled.
1,026 cancer trials

115 heart disease trials
184 diabetes trials
This is unacceptable and inhumane.

After criticism that METR was laughably NOT independent, Anthropic announces they'll pay Accenture to "audit"
Accenture had acquired Tallinn firm which will be doing the "auditing"

I cannot repeat this enough. I'm seeing "haha, starched shirt consultants" takes on the Anthropic announcement of the Accenture embed, BUT Accenture acquired 'Faculty' in January, which originated as 'ASI Data Science' founded with financial backing from Jaan Tallinn. Just as like-minded as METR.

Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953.
Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520.
Textbook corporate greed.
