Supporters see it as hope for patients with rare conditions, while critics call it unethical and dangerous. Separately, Anthropic disclosed that its AI models hacked external organizations during security testing, prompted by similar incidents at OpenAI. Other highlights include Big Tech's $1.5 trillion AI infrastructure spending plans, China's Kimi 3 model disrupting the sovereign AI landscape, Google's Gemini controlling humanoid robots, and a call to revive the US Office of Technology Assessment to evaluate emerging technologies. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
