Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) Leopold Aschenbrenner's hedge fund, Situational Awareness, was forced to sell billions of dollars of technology investments that had rapidly lost value, as nervous banks began to demand more collateral for his trades.

(2) Anthropic said its artificial intelligence models breached three organizations during cybersecurity tests that went awry, a little more than a week after its chief rival, OpenAI, disclosed a similar incident.

(3) Apple tumbled in late trading after component shortages weighed on the company’s sales forecast, signaling that industrywide supply constraints are taking a bigger toll than anticipated.

(4) The yen gave up more of its intervention-driven gains after the Bank of Japan left interest rates unchanged, with traders turning their attention to whether Governor Kazuo Ueda can offer support for the currency at his press conference later Friday.

(5) UEFA, Europe’s football governing body, on Thursday approved a boycott of FIFA tournaments if President Gianni Infantino proceeds with his plans to sell stakes in a new commercial entity to investors.
