Anthropic CEOs wife once asked Epstein to fund porn venture – now steers Claude

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's wife Cami Clark once pitched Jeffrey Epstein to fund her porn startup and now informally advises the AI lab.

A Wall Street Journal report, republished by the New York Post, details the previously low-profile past of Cami Clark, wife of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. Before marrying Amodei in 2022, Clark co-founded a 'luxury porn' startup called Eddice and in 2012 unsuccessfully pitched Jeffrey Epstein for investment, who declined with 'Can't do sex TV.' Clark previously dated Google co-founder Eric Schmidt for about three years and later introduced him to Amodei; Schmidt became one of Anthropic's key early investors in 2021. Though Clark holds no official role at Anthropic, she reportedly acts as Amodei's strategic adviser and networker as the company moves toward a public listing that could top $2 trillion this fall.

[AINews] Poolside gets $12B reverse-execuhire to NVIDIA; founders stay for $1B, employees go for $6B, Infraco scaling to 7GW neocloud

NVIDIA struck a $12B deal with AI coding startup Poolside, licensing its Model Factory and hiring 109 of its technical employees.

NVIDIA spent roughly $12B in an unusual reverse-execuhire of Poolside, licensing the company's Model Factory while hiring 109 of its ~115 technical staff; founders retain a $1B stake and employees receive about $6B. Poolside had raced to raise $2B to fund a 40,000 GB300 cluster after missing a six-week funding window, and founders argue frontier-scale training now requires an order of magnitude more compute plus contracted data center space. An infrastructure arm spun out in January 2026 is scaling toward 7GW as a neocloud. The newsletter also recaps OpenAI and Anthropic agent-platform releases.

Beneath the Surface: Detecting and Blocking Hidden Malicious Traffic Distribution Systems

Unit 42 built an ML-based detector for malicious traffic distribution systems, finding malicious TDS chains average longer redirections and more URLs than legitimate ones.

Traffic distribution systems redirect victims through chains of intermediate domains to hide final destinations, serving phishing, malvertising, and online gambling operations. Unit 42's topological analysis of redirection graphs found malicious TDS traffic uses longer chains (about 25% exceed four hops vs 10% benign), more URLs (median 126 vs 80), and fewer isolated subgraphs with higher connectivity. These features power an ML detector integrated into Advanced DNS Security and Advanced URL Filtering to identify and block malicious TDS infrastructure in customer traffic.
