    Musk finds forty billion dollars for AI chips while lenders turn away the pure AI players

    On Sunday Musk showed which AI borrowers lenders still answer. SpaceX, here last Tuesday for earning more from AI than rockets, has borrowed forty billion dollars for Nvidia hardware arriving next year, on the strength of its rocket and satellite-internet revenue. Lenders, he says, have almost shut the door on the two hundred or so companies whose only income is renting out AI computers, and most will die or be swallowed, leaving half-built data centres nobody can switch on. That is one man's post, from a rival bidder for the same chips. Whoever rents you AI capacity next year has a lender behind them. Musk has just told you which lenders are nervous.

    A decade-old program beats the two best AI models at spotting skin cancer

    Microsoft's study of an AI that out-diagnoses doctors appeared in the journal Science on Thursday. By Sunday a London skin-cancer surgeon, Magnus Lynch of Guy's Hospital, had run the test the other way. He showed two hundred biopsied moles to OpenAI's and Anthropic's best models and to a decade-old image-recognition program he had tuned in minutes. The old program got six in ten right against four in ten for the big two, and caught more melanomas. His caveats: small numbers, one run each, and test images the big models may have seen. For a narrow task a cheap specialised model still beats the expensive general one. Most work inside a company is narrow.

    Meta rewrites the small print behind your Facebook page and makes you liable for what its AI gets wrong

    If your company has a Facebook page or runs Instagram ads, Meta has rewritten the small print. The new terms were due this Friday and slip to 20 November after publishers complained to regulators. They say Meta's AI may make mistakes and you are solely responsible for all risks, including ads its automatic enhancements edit on their own. Advertisers told the trade paper Adweek that Meta added AI illustrations and rewrote copy on campaigns they never opted into. Meta's liability stays capped at a hundred dollars or a year's fees. Use the page after that date and you have agreed. Three weeks is enough to read it and switch the enhancements off.

    China's tech giants pay a million yuan for the engineer who makes AI pay

    Everyone selling AI promises the model does the work, and China's internet giants have put a price on the human it still needs. ByteDance, Tencent and Alibaba are hiring forward-deployed engineers, the people who sit at a customer's site and make a model run the business. The South China Morning Post, which Alibaba owns, reports packages of up to a million yuan a year, twenty times the average Chinese income. Most pay far less, a recruiter cautions, and Anthropic is training ten thousand in America. The model is cheap now. What costs money is the person who makes it pay, and today's other stories say the same of credit, contracts and song rights.

    The owners of Elvis's songs sue Anthropic weeks before its listing

    Anthropic goes public within weeks, and the King has joined the queue of rights holders suing first. The companies and trusts that own Elvis Presley's songs sued Anthropic on Friday over 274 of them, claiming its chatbot Claude learned the lyrics and keeps producing near copies when asked to modernise a song. They want forty-one million dollars and every unauthorised copy of the songs destroyed. Anthropic will defend it, it says. The sum is small change next to the billion and a half it paid authors last year, but each suit lands in the prospectus as a risk factor. Marketing copy many of us write with Claude may be something to defend too.
