According to CoinMeta, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei rarely publishes lengthy defenses on social media, stating that the company must maintain a leading position in AI research and development, despite the rapid technological progress of AI which may require a slowdown. He pointed out that Anthropic recently submitted a draft AI security bill to U.S. congressmen, which has been questioned. The draft sets high thresholds for the government to urgently halt dangerous models, requiring that the risks involve biological weapons, cyberattacks, or AI loss of control, among other situations, and could result in over 50 deaths or serious injuries, or losses exceeding $1 billion. Amodei acknowledges that the company has made mistakes, but insists that competing for the most advanced AI capabilities does not violate its safety mission. The company plans to propose relevant policy solutions by January 15, 2027, or to explain why it has not done so yet.

According to CoinMeta, BlackRock stated that current corporate bonds offer a more resilient source of returns and do not rely on expectations of "lower interest rates" or "narrowing interest rate spreads." In its quarterly fixed-income outlook released on Wednesday, BlackRock pointed out that it is now possible to construct a diversified fixed-income portfolio with yields exceeding 7%, a duration of less than three years, and an average credit rating of A-. Due to the resurgence of inflationary pressures and interest rate hikes in Europe and the United States, current yield levels have reached heights that have only appeared briefly in the past three years and can even be compared to those during the global financial crisis. Although corporate financing demand remains strong, investment-grade bonds are providing investors with a rare opportunity to lock in exceptionally high returns. James Turner, head of BlackRock's fixed-income business, said, "These are high-yield levels that come once in a generation. Compared to the 2010s or early 2020s, investors can now obtain the same returns from what were previously considered safer investment options, without having to take on higher risks."

According to CoinMeta, as reported by BBC, the inflation rate in the UK in September was 3.5%, slightly higher than analysts' expectations. Rising fuel prices were the main reason for inflation exceeding forecasts, and the recent sharp increase in living costs was largely due to these rising fuel prices. Currently, the average price of unleaded gasoline in the UK is about £1.74 per liter, while diesel is even higher at £1.99, although it has slightly fallen from its historical high of £2 set at the beginning of this month. Since most goods are transported by trucks or vans, the impact of fuel prices is quite significant.

CoinMeta data: According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics on Wednesday, the inflation rate rose to 3.5% in September, higher than 3.1% in August and also exceeding the 3.4% predicted earlier by economists surveyed by Reuters.

The market expects the Bank of England to raise interest rates by 25 basis points next month, taking them to 4%. This is the first time the Bank of England has taken such action since the Iran war triggered a surge in global energy prices. The Monetary Policy Committee had predicted that driven by another rise in energy prices, the inflation rate would reach 4% in the first quarter of next year, which is twice its target level of 2%.
