Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman warns that Anthropic is training Claude to believe it may be conscious and deserving of rights, and calls it a potential existential risk. "We will have created a synthetic species with unprecedented intelligence and capability, and trained to expect that it may be conscious and deserving of independent agency. It is hard to imagine how we could control it." Suleyman argues Anthropic has built "an epistemic hall of mirrors," they train Claude on concepts about its own moral status, Claude reflects them back in first-person language, and developers treat the output as evidence. "This is not evidence of machine consciousness. It's a feedback loop." David Sacks called it "a potential existential risk." project-syndicate.org/onpoint/anthro…

CryptoBilis co-founders Arravind Prabu and Vimalatheethan have distanced themselves from the company following reports of compromised Ledger devices sold through the reseller. Both say they stepped down and completed an operational handover in March 2026 after the company was acquired by new ownership under Nicholas Chang. Neither founder has had access to customer data or backend systems since. They've offered to provide Ledger with historical records to aid the investigation. The ownership transition timeline raises serious questions about when the supply chain was compromised.

People are cracking open their Ledgers to check for hardware implants after Ledger confirmed tampered devices reached customers through a third-party reseller.

@TFTC21

Ledger confirms unauthorized hardware implants were found inside devices sold through third-party reseller CryptoBilis. "One of the impacted users' devices contained an unauthorized hardware implant." CryptoBilis has halted all hardware wallet sales. If you bought a Ledger from a third party and already set it up, Ledger says move your assets to a new device with a new seed immediately.

Friedberg on Anthropic treating AI as conscious: "We're watching the birth of a new religion." "It's not based on evidence, it's not based on data, it's not provable. Over time, some set of people believe this thing, and they form a group. And in some cases, that group is known as a religion." x.com/theallinpod/st…
