🤖 OpenAI Shuts Down Sora, Anthropic's 'Too Dangerous' Model Leaks to Banks & Human Identity Is Now a Feature

OpenAI is making a dramatic strategic pivot, shutting down its Sora video team and folding its science division into Codex as two top executives head for the exit. The upgraded Codex can now control your desktop, run background agents, and take direct aim at Anthropic's dominant Claude Code. Anthropic isn't standing still either — they've dropped their most powerful public model yet, but the real story is a cybersecurity model they've deemed too dangerous to release publicly, now quietly making its way to British banks. Meanwhile, Anthropic is expanding aggressively in London as geopolitical tensions with the US simmer in the background. Sam Altman's World project is partnering with Tinder to verify that users are actual humans using biometric orb scans — and yes, proving you're real now comes with perks. Google quietly released Auto-Diagnose, an AI tool that cuts through mountains of test logs to find the root cause of software bugs. Coding AI startups are exploding in valuation, with Cursor reportedly in talks to raise at a $50 billion valuation. But a growing body of research warns that AI is generating more code than engineers can actually use or maintain — raising real questions about whether velocity is the same as value.
