Anthropic just published a support page that should terrify anyone holding its shares on the secondary market. "Any sale or transfer of Anthropic stock, or any interest in Anthropic stock, that has not been approved by our Board of Directors is void and will not be recognized on our books and records." Void. Not restricted. Not pending review. Void. That means if you bought Anthropic shares through Forge, Hiive, or any other secondary platform without board approval, you are not a stockholder. You have no stockholder rights. Your transaction is invalid. It gets worse. Anthropic says it does not permit SPVs to hold its stock. Any transfer to an SPV is void. Investment funds claiming to offer indirect exposure are "most likely relying on mechanisms that attempt to circumvent our transfer restrictions." Forward contracts, tokenized securities, synthetic exposure products, all of it potentially worthless. Their advice to investors: "Assume that it is invalid." There is a multi-billion dollar secondary market in Anthropic shares right now. Platforms are pricing the stock at $265-$1,400+ per share based on a $380 billion valuation. Real people have put real money into these positions. And Anthropic just told them none of it counts. This is the purest possible illustration of counterparty risk. You can buy a share of a company and have the company itself declare your ownership void because you bought it through the wrong channel.



On our way to OpenAI!







DOWNLOAD YOUR UDIO SONGS NOW! Udio's downloads window has opened. You have 48 hours to download any songs made before 29th October. (MP3s and videos for free users, plus stems and WAVs for subscribers). They have suggested bulk downloading MP3s via folders, see the instructions below and I'll post the link to the page in the first comment. I cannot see a way to bulk download the stems or WAVs. Note: they do NOT have plans for another downloads window, so grab your songs in the next 48 hours or they could be locked forever. Anything downloaded in this window is yours to do with as you wish, they come under the old ToS according to Udio. They are also apparently NOT fingerprinted! You have the option to bulk delete (50 a time) or delete your whole account.





1/ The future of general-purpose robotics will be decided by one major question: which flavor of data scales reasoning? Every major lab represents a different bet. Over the past 3 months, @adam_patni, @vriishin, and I read the core research papers, spoke with staff at the major labs, and mapped the talent pool. This has completely changed how we think about general-purpose robotics. Our paper builds intuition, step-by step, across the 2025 frontier: from architectures → evals → data → industry dynamics. Each layer reveals a different bottleneck, but they all converge on one truth—data decides everything. Our takeaways + process below👇 If you want access to our graph (sound on), comment or DM me
