Silicon Valley’s Most Powerful VCs Are Playing Mafia on Camera
Founders Fund has launched “MAFIA the GAME,” a recurring video series featuring Sam Altman, Palmer Luckey, Moxie Marlinspike, and Bryan Johnson.
Sequence-to-sequence, or Seq2Seq, describes models that map an input sequence to an output sequence whose length may differ. Machine translation converts words in one language into another, speech recognition maps audio frames to text, and summarization produces a shorter sequence from a longer document. Many Seq2Seq systems use an encoder to represent the input and a decoder to generate output step by step, often with attention between them. Transformer encoder–decoder architectures largely replaced earlier recurrent designs. Training typically uses paired examples and token-level loss, while inference relies on greedy, beam, or sampling-based decoding. Quality depends on alignment, context limits, data coverage, and evaluation beyond surface overlap.

Goldman Sachs is projecting SpaceX’s AI revenues will grow roughly 100 times by 2030 – from $3.2 billion to $322 billion annually – figures the bank is using to anchor a $1.78 trillion IPO valuation for the company it is simultaneously leading to market.
Anthropic has called on the global AI industry to consider slowing or temporarily pausing frontier model development, warning that AI systems are already automating parts of their own creation and that full recursive self-improvement – where AI designs and trains its own successors without human involvement – could arrive within one to two years.
Microsoft has introduced seven proprietary AI models spanning reasoning, coding, image generation, transcription, and voice synthesis.
Meta has eased plans to track employee computer activity for AI training after internal criticism, introducing new controls that allow workers to pause data collection or request exemptions.
Anthropic has confidentially filed for an initial public offering, positioning itself for one of the most closely watched AI listings in history.
OpenAI has introduced role-specific plugins, collaborative websites, and annotation tools for Codex as the platform expands beyond software development. More than 5 million people now use Codex weekly, with non-developers becoming one of its fastest-growing user groups.
Investors and technology leaders increasingly view humanoid robots as the next major growth opportunity in artificial intelligence. Industry forecasts suggest the market could expand from a few billion dollars today to hundreds of billions within the next decade.
Anthropic says cybercriminals are increasingly using AI for advanced post-compromise operations and autonomous attack chains. The company argues that existing cybersecurity frameworks may no longer fully capture how AI-powered threats operate.
Anthropic is expanding Project Glasswing to approximately 200 organizations using Claude Mythos Preview to identify software vulnerabilities. The initiative aims to strengthen cybersecurity defenses as increasingly powerful AI models become widely available.
