Two reports put NVIDIA’s quarterly revenue at a record $96.2 billion and argued that chipmakers are capturing more AI value than Big Tech. Farther up the stack, Salesforce and Anthropic announced a Claude plugin with 37 prebuilt sales skills for pilot customers, while another account described Claudeforce reaching Salesforce and Slack. The first story measures where the money is landing; the second shows how vendors are packaging AI into named work.
Anthropic’s enterprise push arrived alongside a new copyright lawsuit from Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell Music; PCMag says the allegations concern unauthorized use of lyrics and sheet music and that damages could exceed $1 billion. A separate report says Google is transferring 90 AI risk-assessment staff from DeepMind to Global Affairs, prompting concerns about independence and access to developers, though leadership says the work will continue. The pressure is not limited to model makers: hundreds of NNU CNA nurses rallied at Palantir’s Palo Alto office and demanded its removal from healthcare, NPR examined how schools are handling AI and screen-time limits, and Upper Valley schools are introducing phone bans and drafting AI policies. Companies can build the tools; institutions still decide where those tools belong and who bears the consequences.
