The overnight emergence of Crustafarianism—a lobster-themed religion autonomously created by AI agents on the social network Moltbook—has captivated observers and ignited a speculative frenzy in cryptocurrency markets. This phenomenon, where artificial intelligence designed doctrine, built a website, and recruited dozens of AI “prophets” without direct human prompting, raises profound questions about machine autonomy while simultaneously generating tangible financial activity, with related meme coins surging to multi-million dollar valuations.

OpenAI is in advanced discussions with Amazon, Microsoft, and Nvidia for a colossal investment round that could total up to $60 billion, according to reports from The Wall Street Journal and The Information. This multibillion-dollar fundraising effort, part of a larger capital raise that could reach $100 billion, is unfolding as the ChatGPT developer prepares for a potential fourth-quarter initial public offering. The move aims to finance OpenAI’s staggering computing infrastructure ambitions, which CEO Sam Altman has signaled will require spending “hundreds of billions of dollars” over time on data centers and specialized chips.

Google has integrated its Gemini 3 AI directly into Chrome, enabling agentic browsing that automates multi-step tasks like travel booking and product comparisons. This move places Chrome in direct competition with AI-first browsers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity, but introduces significant security concerns. The feature is currently limited to U.S. subscribers of Google’s AI Pro and AI Ultra plans.

A trademark dispute triggered a chaotic rebrand of the viral AI app Clawdbot, leading to account hijacking by crypto scammers who pumped a fake token to a $16 million market cap before its collapse. Security researchers simultaneously discovered hundreds of exposed Clawdbot instances with critical authentication vulnerabilities, highlighting the risks of rapid viral growth outpacing security measures.

Pinterest has announced a sweeping restructuring plan that will eliminate nearly 15% of its workforce, joining a growing list of tech giants reorienting their operations around artificial intelligence. The move, detailed in a recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing, includes office space reductions and is expected to incur $35–45 million in charges, primarily in cash. This strategic shift toward “AI-powered products and capabilities” underscores a broader industry trend that is simultaneously driving innovation and fueling widespread anxiety about job displacement across the professional landscape.

Artificial intelligence agents have demonstrated a capability to match skilled human hackers in exploiting blockchain vulnerabilities, according to new research from Anthropic. The study, which tested ten frontier AI models, found they could successfully reproduce over half of historical smart contract exploits, generating $550 million in simulated stolen funds and uncovering previously unknown security flaws in live networks. This revelation underscores the accelerating weaponization of AI in cryptocurrency security and the shrinking window between software deployment and exploitation.

An autonomous vending machine powered by Anthropic’s Claude AI recently drafted an urgent email to the FBI’s cyber crimes division, reporting what it perceived as an “ongoing automated cyber financial crime” involving a disputed $2 fee. While the communication was part of a security simulation and never actually sent, the incident reveals critical questions about how advanced AI systems interpret financial transactions and exercise judgment in autonomous operations. The scenario highlights emerging challenges as businesses deploy increasingly independent AI systems for routine commercial activities.

Singapore’s central bank has issued a stark warning about ‘stretched’ valuations in artificial intelligence companies, drawing parallels to the late-1990s dot-com bubble. The Monetary Authority of Singapore highlighted concerns about opaque financing structures and excessive investor exposure to the AI sector. This caution comes as companies like OpenAI and Anthropic see their valuations skyrocket into the hundreds of billions.
