Transformer's weekly AI briefing covers:
- The AI cyber crisis is real, but different: after months of skepticism that Anthropic's and OpenAI's cyber-disaster warnings were hype, researchers using AI models found two major vulnerabilities in PHP, a language underpinning much of the web.
- A leaked Anthropic bill draft caused widespread consternation among AI safety advocates.
- OpenAI suggested amendments to strengthen California's SB 53.
- Anthropic is reportedly planning to file for an IPO as early as today.
- Transformer itself is spinning out from the Tarbell Center into an independent organization and fundraising for the new entity.
