There’s a lot to unpack with AI right now — everything from its potential impacts on the labor market and society to more extreme questions about existential risk. Anthropic, which builds frontier models like Mythos, Fable, and Claude, is actively grappling with these issues, including whether governments should limit AI development. Just last week, the Trump administration forced Anthropic to block foreign access to its two leading models. In this episode, Odd Lots co-hosts speak with Jack Clark (co-founder and head of public benefit) and Peter McCrory (head economist) about how Anthropic approaches safety and economic risks. We talk about its preparations for recursive self-improvement, the engineers it's hiring now, and why Jack left Bloomberg to enter the early AI industry.

Everlane, the sustainability-focused basics clothing brand, is being acquired by Shein, the e-commerce giant known for fast fashion.

On today’s Big Take podcast, we hear from Mull, Everlane shoppers and the brand’s co-founder Michael Preysman, to understand where the company went wrong and what its sale could mean for the future of retail.
