A week after an Anthropic researcher's alarming doomsday warning sent shockwaves through the AI community, the company's CEO, Dario Amodei, has laid out his vision for how to "pace the frontier" of AI development. His proposal centers on independent safety evaluators and collaboration among AI labs in democratic nations. The idea has already garnered some industry backing—though it also drew sharp criticism from Nvidia's Jensen Huang. Also on the docket: a boardroom shakeup at Automattic, the parent company of WordPress, and a look at some of the week's biggest deals.

- The golden parachute arrangements made during Matt Mullenweg's 33-hour removal from Automattic—and why the fallout could actually leave him with even greater control over the technology that underpins much of the web

- Whether May Mobility's SPAC can unlock more than $300 million in potential funding, and why taking on the label of "public robotaxi company" comes with significant strings attached
