⚡ Anthropic $31B QLD DC; Siri lags; Jensen Huang: no AI safety regs; compute up.
Anthropic’s US$31 billion plan to build data centers in Australia marks a sharp escalation in the arms race over AI infrastructure; meanwhile, Cloudflare has introduced new settings to block AI training crawlers, as content creators visibly tighten their defenses around data sovereignty. Viewed together, and with expert re-reviews finding systematic scoring flaws in physics benchmarks—correction of which raised frontier model scores—these developments show that the evaluation system has clearly fallen behind capital expansion, and the industry urgently needs a more rigorous yardstick for capability.
