In partnership with
Welcome Automaters, 👋
Okay, drop whatever you are doing and pull up a chair because the tech world just handed us the juiciest financial drama of the year.
Anthropic, the brilliant brains behind the Claude AI you are likely low-key obsessed with, has officially filed confidentially for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). That’s a fancy, corporate way of saying: soon, regular people like you and me might actually be able to buy stock and own a tiny piece of one of the most powerful AI empires on the planet.
The company confirmed on Monday, June 1,that it quietly submitted a draft registration statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Right now, there is no public share count and no official price. It’s just pure vibes, massive anticipation, and legal paperwork for now. Anthropic notes that whether the IPO actually launches to the public will depend on how the chaotic stock market behaves.
But let us be real: the hype is already out of control.
Here’s the part that will make your jaw completely hit the floor: Anthropic is currently valued at close to $1 trillion. Yes, trillion with a "T."
This blockbuster filing comes just days after the company raised a mind-boggling $65 billion Series H funding round, which pushed its official valuation to an insane $965 billion. Massive institutional names like Sequoia Capital, Coatue, and Altimeter Capital were all part of the VIP investor party, basically throwing money at the company.
And the timing of this filing? Absolute chef's kiss.
Anthropic is inserting itself right into one of the hottest, most competitive IPO seasons in recent memory. SpaceX just filed for its own IPO, targeting a casual $2 trillion valuation and looking to raise over $75 billion. Meanwhile, Anthropic's arch-rival OpenAI locked in a whopping $122 billion funding round at an $852 billion valuation back in March, and everyone in Silicon Valley expects them to file for their own IPO any second now.
So yeah, the corporate AI wars are officially moving to the stock market, and we’re watching tech history unfold in real time.

🚨Meta's AI Chatbot Exploited to Hijack Obama's Instagram in Major Security Breach
Okay, people, so the tech world just suffered a security meltdown so embarrassing, it feels like a movie plot. What happened? Well over the weekend, hackers figured out something genuinely mind-blowing: you do not need to be a genius coder to break into a major Instagram account anymore. You literally just need to know how to sweet-talk a bot.
Here’s the unbelievable tea:
Meta's AI-powered support chatbot, which the company rolled out globally on Facebook and Instagram earlier this year, was completely manipulated by hackers into handing over full account access to people who absolutely did not own them.
According to reporting from 404 Media, the targets were not just random profiles. We’re talking about Barack Obama's White House Instagram account, beauty giant Sephora, and the US Space Force Chief Master Sergeant. Yes, the actual military! Everyday users were also flooding Reddit and X all weekend long with the exact same horror stories.
And the actual hacking method? Almost embarrassingly simple.
Security researchers and hacking groups were casually dropping step-by-step tutorials on Telegram like they were sharing a recipe. One shocking video circulating on X showed a hacker simply telling Meta's AI assistant to link a target account to a brand-new email address.
Instead of saying "no," the bot helpfully sent a verification code to that new email and asked the hacker to paste the numbers right into the chat. Once entered, the hacker was shown a beautiful, shiny button to reset the account's password. Done. Account stolen. In at least one case, the hacker even used a basic VPN to spoof the real account holder's location to effortlessly sidestep Meta's safeguards.
Honestly, it’s giving major “Hi, I’d like access to someone else’s account.” “Of course! Right this way!” energy.
Oh, and get this: This kind of attack has a fancy name in the tech world: a prompt injection attack.
Think of it like this. Imagine you trained a very eager, highly obedient golden retriever to fetch your morning newspaper. Now imagine a total stranger shows up on your porch, says the magic words, and your beloved dog happily fetches your newspaper for them instead. That’s basically what happened here, except the newspaper is your entire digital life and business.
Victims had absolutely no warning. They were suddenly locked out, followed by password changes they never authorized. The truly terrifying part is that these people had not fallen for a sketchy phishing email or ignored a security alert. They were straight-up betrayed by the system that was explicitly built to protect them.
Meta finally confirmed the incident on Monday, giving us the classic, tight-lipped corporate response: “This issue has been resolved, and we are securing impacted accounts.” Naturally, the company has not said exactly how many accounts were compromised. Classic Meta.
The ultimate irony? Meta actively bragged about this.
Meta was doing a full victory lap over this feature just weeks ago. A March press release described the AI support assistant as a revolutionary tool that can “take action for you on a growing set of requests,” including resetting passwords. The company proudly called it “a major step in our work to deliver stronger support.”
Well. Stronger for whom, exactly? Because it looks like it worked great for the hackers!
🚨 The Big Takeaway
This is not just a Meta problem. This is a massive canary in the coal mine for every single tech giant currently racing to fire their human support staff and replace them with AI agents.
When AI is handed the keys to something as sensitive as account access, the stakes of getting it wrong are not theoretical. They are Obama's Instagram. They are your brand's business account. They are very, very real.
As usual, meet us on YouTube so we can dig deeper into this headache together!
AI Agents Are Reading Your Docs. Are You Ready?
Last month, 48% of visitors to documentation sites across Mintlify were AI agents, not humans.
Claude Code, Cursor, and other coding agents are becoming the actual customers reading your docs. And they read everything.
This changes what good documentation means. Humans skim and forgive gaps. Agents methodically check every endpoint, read every guide, and compare you against alternatives with zero fatigue.
Your docs aren't just helping users anymore. They're your product's first interview with the machines deciding whether to recommend you.
That means: clear schema markup so agents can parse your content, real benchmarks instead of marketing fluff, open endpoints agents can actually test, and honest comparisons that emphasize strengths without hype.
Mintlify powers documentation for over 20,000 companies, reaching 100M+ people every year. We just raised a $45M Series B led by @a16z and @SalesforceVC to build the knowledge layer for the agent era.

🤖 AI Workout Of The Day: How to Control What AI Tells Your Teen: A Step-by-Step Guide to ChatGPT’s Parental Controls
If you’ve ever worried that ChatGPT might be teaching your kid how to "jailbreak" their bedtime or (God forbid) giving them romantic/life threatening advice, we’ve got some spicy updates for you. OpenAI has a massive toolkit to help you keep the guardrails up.
Step 1: The Invitation
You can't just spy in secret. You have to link accounts.
The Move: Open ChatGPT on your phone or browser. Click your Profile Icon: Settings: Parental Controls.
The Link: Hit "Add family member" and enter your teen’s email or phone number.
The Catch: Your teen has to actually accept the invite on their device. Once they do, they’ll pop up under your "Family Members" list.
Step 2: Set the "Quiet Hours"
Teens love a late-night rabbit hole. But you can stop those 3 AM "How to build a cold fusion reactor" sessions right here.
In your Parental Controls menu, select your teen's name and toggle "Quiet Hours" to ON. Set your start and end times (e.g., 10 PM to 7 AM). During this window, ChatGPT will essentially go to sleep for them.
Step 3: Lock Down the "Spicy" Stuff
OpenAI defaults to higher safety for teens, but you can double-down on the specifics:
Reduce Sensitive Content: This aggressively filters out graphic, violent, or "mature" responses.
Disable Voice Mode: If you don’t want them having long, spoken heart-to-hearts with a robot, you can turn this off.
Kill Image Generation: Worried about "edgy" AI art? Toggle this OFF to disable DALL-E 3 on their account.
Step 4: The "Brain Wipe" (Privacy First) 🧠
One of the coolest (and creepiest) features is Memory. If you don't want the AI building a "personality profile" of your kid, toggle it to OFF. This ensures the AI "forgets" everything once the chat ends.
Also: make sure to opt-out of "Model Training" so their private rants aren't used to train the next version of GPT.
Pro Tips for the Digital Parent:
Transparency is Key: Your teen will be notified when you change a setting. There is no "stealth mode" parenting here.
The "Unlink" Alert: If your teen gets naughty and unlinks their account to hide something, you’ll get an immediate email or text alert.
Emergency Safety: If the AI detects your teen is in a mental health crisis, it’s designed to trigger an "Acute Distress Alert" to your phone.
The Privacy Balance: You still cannot read their actual chat logs. OpenAI keeps those private to build trust with the teen, but you can see the general settings that are active.
