Here are 6 short, but powerful things you should know:

  1. Communist China AI Cyber Attacks on U.S. AI

Communist China launched 24,000 fraudulent accounts to extract information from Claude AI. They prompted Claude 16 million times then used those outputs to train their own competing AI models.

This business espionage technique is called “distillation”.

And this is odd: “Claude was used to generate censorship-safe alternatives to politically sensitive queries like questions about dissidents, party leaders, or authoritarianism, in order to train DeepSeek’s own models to steer conversations away from censored topics.”

Open AI told U.S. lawmakers that DeepSeek used similar methods to copy responses from its models.

DeepSeek’s newest AI model was trained on Nvidia’s most advanced AI chip despite a ban on the Blackwell chip being exported to China.

  1. AI Subscription Boom: AI Music Generator Suno Hit 2M Paid Subscribers and $300M in ARR

AI music generator Suno hit 2 million paid subscribers with about $300 million in annual recurring revenue.

  1. The Next Super Bowl is on Valentine’s Day

The first-ever February 14 overlap will give marketers a unique opportunity and Super Bowl enthusiasts an historic conflict of choices.

  1. Musk Grok/xAI: New Pentagon Deal

Elon Musk’s xAI, which recently merged wit SpaceX in a $1.25 billion deal, has signed an agreement with the Pentagon, allowing the military to use its AI models in its classified systems.

  1. ChatGPT – 900M Weekly Active Users Now

Chat GPT now has 900 million weekly active users globally, plus about 50 million paying subscribers.

  1. PAC

A super PAC funded by Anthropic, makers of Claude, is spending nearly $700,000 to get the liberal North Carolina congresswoman, who sits on a key AI commission, re-elected.

Rep. Valerie Foushee (D-NC) is targeted for advocating for more government regulation and control of AI which would help protect Anthropic from competition and promote their liberal version of control.
