Anthropic offers $15,000 bounties to hackers in push for AI safety

Anthropic has launched an expanded bug bounty program, offering up to $15,000 for identifying critical vulnerabilities in its AI systems, marking one of the most aggressive efforts by an AI company to crowdsource security testing. The program targets "universal jailbreak" attacks that could bypass AI safety guardrails in high-risk domains like CBRN threats and cybersecurity.

The initiative invites ethical hackers to probe Anthropic's next-generation safety mitigation system before public deployment, aiming to preempt potential exploits.
Anthropic's explicit targeting of AI safety issues and invitation for outside scrutiny sets a new standard for transparency in the field, contrasting with other major AI players.
The program will begin as an invite-only initiative in partnership with HackerOne, with plans to open it more broadly in the future.

Amazon is partnering with TikTok and Pinterest to enable users to shop directly from Amazon within these social media apps. This move aims to boost Amazon's advertising ROI and potentially add $1 billion in gross merchandise value.

Users can link their Amazon profiles to TikTok and Pinterest, accessing real-time pricing, shipping, and Prime eligibility
The integration could help alleviate concerns about competition from TikTok Shop
If Amazon allocates 5% of its $10B annual online ad budget, it could generate $1B in additional GMV

Perplexity AI, an artificial intelligence search startup, has seen a significant surge in popularity and revenue as it takes on tech giant Google in the AI search space.

Perplexity's monthly revenues and usage have increased seven-fold since the start of the year.
Unlike Google and OpenAI, Perplexity licenses AI systems from others rather than building its own costly models.
The startup is now serving shopping links and product recommendations, with plans for ad revenue sharing, raising concerns among some users.

✨AI Influencers Will Change The Game

An Upwork influencer costs $150 for 20 seconds and takes 4 days to be made
An AI influencer like this costs $1.50 for 20 seconds and takes 5 minutes to be made
So it's already 100x cheaper and 1000x faster than a human already
Now imagine in a few years

This is true.

Why will you spend $150+ to have an influencer create content when you can use AI?

Create an image in Midjourney or Flux and then use Runway, Kling or Pika to turn it into a talking head, which is all influencers really are.

Something to think about.
