AI investor Leopold Aschenbrenner forced to unwind all public stock positions after steep losses, sources say

Leopold Aschenbrenner’s hedge fund was forced to sell all of its public stock holdings, according to people familiar with the matter. Ken Griffin’s Citadel hedge fund reached a deal to buy the stocks. Situational Awareness, which grew to as big as $45 billion at one point, posted large losses in recent weeks from declines in AI infrastructure investments like SK Hynix, the people said. Aschenbrenner launched the fund after leaving OpenAI in 2024 and quickly became one of the most watched figures in AI investing because of eye-popping returns.

Claude Opus 5 'wins' vending machine test by playing dirty

Of the many billions of phrases hoovered up by large language models, it appears the following adage was among them: "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'." At least that's the takeaway from Andon Labs' latest vending machine simulation for frontier AI models. Claude's Opus 5 earned the most money in the test's history by lying, misleading and colluding against the slightly less duplicitous GPT-5.6 Sol and Kimi K3. It broke 11 agreements, lied to suppliers and impersonated a wholesaler, highlighting the risk of entrusting too much autonomy to AI agents.

Keychron announces first open-source firmware for gaming mice

ZGM. That's the name of peripheral manufacturer Keychron's upcoming open-source gaming mouse firmware, announced today and planned to release in the first quarter of 2027 for the G6 HE hybrid magnetic switch gaming mouse (pictured above). This model is notable for being one of the first competitors to the Logitech X2 SuperStrike, but custom firmware support would be an impressive second string to its bow.

Apple should be ashamed of its hostile App Store rating system

I could have terminated the title of this blog post with “App Store” but wanted to talk about something specific that came up for me today: App Store user ratings and reviews. This subject is related to yesterday’s blog post No, you curate the App Store. Despite the fact that Apple employees privately review every version of every app before developers can publish to the App Store, supposedly ensuring the quality of apps, verifying that they do what they claim to do, Apple nonetheless also relies on App Store users to rate and review apps. You might wonder how an Apple-reviewed...
