Cybersecurity teams worldwide are rushing to patch critical flaws in PHP, a language some estimates say is used by nearly 70% of websites. Researchers at Google's Wiz and AI firm Calif found the major vulnerabilities in August using advanced AI models from OpenAI and Google, and as warnings spread, governments and businesses scrambled to respond. Figma's John Milinovich said several dozen cyberattacks in just two days would each have been the worst of an entire year, while Anthropic's Jason Clinton warned the landscape will likely get “a lot worse” and that the sector must hold on for about 18 months. Former director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Chris Krebs said smaller businesses may struggle to fix serious bugs, and noted that 3% of all critical vulnerabilities ever discovered were found in the past month.

- Why OpenAI could be in trouble if Anthropic's IPO doesn't go well
Manhattan Venture Partners managing partner Jared Carmel says OpenAI's decision to stay private this year may be a strategic misstep, since if Anthropic's upcoming IPO in November does not go well, OpenAI could find it much harder to raise money, especially at its current valuation. He questions whether Anthropic will get the same benefit of the doubt Amazon received in its early years despite years of losses. He points to a shift in token spending, with about 80% of dollars once going to foundational models now moving to open-weight models over the past few weeks. He says this is a longer-term issue to watch over the next 24 months rather than something to resolve today.
- The case for why 'load-bearing' AI companies should not be bailed out
Ed Zitron, CEO of EZPR, argues on The 8:30 that OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) and Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) are 'load-bearing' for Microsoft, Google, Amazon, CoreWeave and Nebius but should be allowed to fail rather than be rescued, and should not go public. He says record stock ownership among Americans makes a 'too big to fail' bailout possible, which he calls 'capitalist socialism'. He argues the market depends mainly on continued GPU spending by large tech firms, noting Nvidia is guiding to 670 billion for fiscal 2028, so the market could still fall even if the two AI companies survive. He describes OpenAI and Anthropic as now largely symbolic, with GPU sales as what keeps the market going.
- Why Anthropic Is Racing to IPO While OpenAI Waits Until 2027
Anthropic is reportedly planning an IPO as early as mid-November and could file as soon as Friday, after reporting third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion, up from $11.5 billion in Q2 and $4.7 billion in Q1, along with adjusted profitability for a second straight quarter. OpenAI has postponed its 2026 IPO plan and is now seeking a private funding round of about $30 billion at a $1.4 trillion valuation. CEO Sam Altman earlier called going public at this moment 'ill-advised,' while OpenAI's operating loss widened to $12.3 billion in Q2. The next key step is Anthropic's public S-1, expected this week, with its roadshow possibly starting November 9; if the S-1 is not public by October 25, the IPO may be delayed again. OpenAI is still expected to go public in 2027.
- OpenAI expands ChatGPT Ads to 26 new countries as diversification push accelerates
OpenAI will roll out ChatGPT Ads to 26 more countries, bringing the total to 89, including free users and Go subscribers in places such as Argentina, Peru, Nigeria, South Africa and Ukraine. According to the company, the ads are separate from ChatGPT's responses, do not influence its answers and are clearly labeled. OpenAI says its ad business reached a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate in August, up from $100 million in March, and that more than 100,000 advertisers have run campaigns. The ads were first tested in the U.S. in February, a move rival Anthropic ridiculed, and Anthropic has pledged to keep its Claude chatbot ad-free. Both companies are widely expected to go public, with OpenAI executives signaling a 2027 listing.
- Trump's FTC Subpoenas OpenAI and Anthropic. Inside the $500 Billion Threat Faced by Microsoft, Amazon, and Google
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission sent civil subpoenas to OpenAI and Anthropic on Oct. 15 as part of a consumer-protection probe, according to Axios. The demands seek documents on security incidents, safeguarding practices, marketing materials and privacy policies, and the FTC reportedly plans to have top AI executives testify. The combined stakes held by Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet in the two labs total about $554 billion at recent valuations. The article argues the bigger financial risk lies in how the investigation could affect the price the labs fetch when they go public.
- OpenAI seeks to accelerate fundraising ahead of Anthropic IPO , sources say
OpenAI is racing to secure investor commitments for a round of about US$30 billion that could value it above US$1.4 trillion, ahead of rival Anthropic's expected public debut in mid-November, according to two people familiar with the matter. SoftBank, MGX and other existing backers are in talks to join, and some investors see the move as a way to lock in capital that might otherwise go to Anthropic's IPO, since the two labs tap a similar investor base. OpenAI says its annualised revenue reached US$50 billion and expects US$70 billion by end-2026, while Anthropic's annualised revenue was roughly US$65 billion by July and its third-quarter revenue hit US$16.8 billion. After Anthropic's third-quarter results fell short of expectations, some existing and prospective investors reportedly argued for a valuation closer to US$1.5 trillion instead of US$2 trillion. OpenAI was last valued at US$852 billion in March, and several companies preparing to go public have reportedly delayed their plans until after Anthropic's IPO.

- SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is 'one of one': Will the market give Anthropic's Dario Amodei the same leeway?
The article asks whether the market will give Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei the same leeway it has given Elon Musk at Tesla and SpaceX. Jared Carmel, co-founder of Manhattan Venture Partners, said Musk is 'one of one' with a rock-star persona that earns him more leeway, while calling Amodei's business amazing; Manhattan invests in both SpaceX and Anthropic. Anthropic is reportedly preparing to publicly file its S-1 prospectus soon, and leaked draft details show first-half 2026 revenue of $16.3 billion versus $1.1 billion a year earlier, but also an $80.7 billion first-half net loss. Investment bankers are reportedly targeting a listing valuation of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion, and the company could debut before the end of November.
- SpaceX's Launch Business Wasn't Profitable Last Quarter, but Here's the Hidden Upside
SpaceX's space segment posted $1.8 billion in revenue in Q3, up 6% year over year, but a $7 million operating loss versus $259 million in operating income a year earlier. The article attributes the loss mainly to $1.2 billion in R&D spending, which also supports the connectivity segment, the most profitable business. Connectivity revenue rose 69% to $5.2 billion and operating income rose 99% to $2.4 billion, accounting for most of SpaceX's $2.8 billion operating income for the quarter. Starlink had 13.6 million consumer subscribers at the end of Q3, up from 12 million at the end of Q2. The article argues that viewing space and connectivity as a package makes more sense, since launch capacity supports the Starlink network; once Starship is used commercially, a single launch carrying V3 satellites could add 20 times the network download capacity of a Falcon 9 launch.
- 72 hours of tension: Russia and China deploy ships and aircraft, one country 'squeezed', this time not Ukraine
ABN24, citing Sohu, says Japan faced Russian activity to its north and Chinese activity to its south within 72 hours. Russia announced a 5-day bombing drill with live fire on Iturup (called Etorofu by Tokyo) from October 13 to 17, and closed airspace over the disputed islands from October 10 to 16; Japan protested through diplomatic channels on October 13, while Anadolu reported that as of October 15 neither side had officially confirmed the drill. In the south, China's Liaoning carrier group passed between Okinawa and Miyako and entered the Philippine Sea, prompting Japan to deploy the destroyer Yugiri, P-1 and P-3C patrol aircraft, and scramble fighters. China's Defense Ministry said the drills were not aimed at any country or specific target. A Chinese business delegation from Heilongjiang Province also visited Iturup to explore aquaculture, seafood processing and tourism, and Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said Tokyo was verifying the reports.
- Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $636 Million as October Turns Red Again
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs shed a net $635.6 million on Thursday, wiping out nearly 60% of the roughly $1.07 billion inflow from the previous three sessions. That pushed October's net flows back into a loss of about $176 million, after the funds had reached roughly $460 million in inflows on Wednesday. Ethereum ETFs lost $110.6 million, lifting their October outflows to about $1.18 billion, while Solana ETFs shed $8.9 million. Prices barely moved, with Bitcoin near $81,460, while traders on Myriad, a prediction market, cut the odds of Bitcoin topping $87,500 this month to 17%.
- We're exiting our position in this chipmaker and right-sizing another winner
Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is selling its remaining 120 Broadcom (AVGO) shares at roughly $326 each, exiting the position with an average gain of roughly 128% on shares bought in 2023 and 2024. It is also selling 85 CrowdStrike (CRWD) shares at roughly $251, cutting its weighting to 4.25% from 4.8% after a big move, for a gain of roughly 187% on shares bought in late 2024. The trust says the moves reflect a more defensive approach amid a struggling data center theme over funding concerns, with fewer holdings until the pending Anthropic IPO, expected as soon as mid-November, plays out and Meta Platforms' future equity raises become clearer. Cramer said the approach means 'circling the wagons,' with bigger positions in the better names, and that the Broadcom sale protects large gains and limits exposure to a group under fire.
- Prediction: A $10,000 Investment in This Memory Stock Will Double by 2030 (Hint: It’s Not Micron or Sandisk)
Lam Research (LRCX) shares have risen 64% over the past year as demand for memory from AI infrastructure boosts sales of chipmaking equipment, and the author notes the memory shortage may last until 2030. In fiscal Q1 2027, the company reported revenue of $8.22 billion, up nearly 55% year over year, a non-GAAP operating margin of 40.2% (up 5.2 percentage points), and adjusted EPS of $2.20, versus Wall Street's estimate of $2.18. Guidance for the current quarter of about $8.6 billion in revenue and $2.33 in adjusted EPS was in line with expectations, and the stock fell more than 8% after the report. SEMI projects global semiconductor equipment sales of $166 billion in 2026, while Bank of America estimates WFE spending could reach $360 billion in 2030. The author sees the post-earnings decline as a possible opportunity and offers a hypothetical: with EPS of $17.11 after four years and a 30x earnings multiple, the stock could reach $513, implying a $10,000 investment could grow to more than $21,600.
