AI

A guy just used @AnthropicAI Claude to turn a $195,000 hospital bill into $33,000.

Not with a lawyer. Not with a hospital admin insider. With a $20/month Claude Plus subscription.

He uploaded the itemized bill. Claude spotted duplicate procedure codes, illegal “double billing,” and charges that Medicare rules explicitly forbid. Then it helped him write a letter citing every violation.

The hospital dropped their demand by 83%.

This isn’t just a feel-good story. It’s a preview of what AI will really do next: flatten systems built on opacity.

Hospitals, insurance companies, legal firms—all rely on asymmetry. They win because you don’t have access to the same data, code books, or language.

Claude gave one person the same leverage as a compliance department. That’s a revolution.

We thought AI would replace jobs. Turns out, it’s replacing excuses.

AI is moving faster than security teams can keep up — and 59% say AI risks outpace their expertise. Vanta's new State of Trust report surveyed 3,500 business and IT leaders across the globe to reveal how organizations are navigating this growing gap.

The data reveals:

61% of teams spend more time proving security than improving it

AI-driven attacks are growing bigger, faster, and more sophisticated

Nearly half of leaders say AI gives them time for strategic security work

Apple reportedly finalized plans to deploy a custom 1.2T parameter version of Google's Gemini model for its long-delayed Siri overhaul, according to Bloomberg — committing roughly $1B annually to license the technology.

The details:

Gemini will handle summarization and multi-step planning within Siri, running on Apple's Private Cloud Compute infrastructure to keep user info private.

Apple also trialed models from OpenAI and Anthropic, with the 1.2T parameter count far exceeding the 150B used in the current Apple Intelligence model.

Bloomberg said the partnership is “unlikely to be promoted publicly”, with Apple intending for Google to be a “behind-the-scenes” tech supplier.

The new Siri could arrive as soon as next Spring, with Apple planning to use Gemini as a stopgap while it builds its own capable internal model.

Why it matters: After years of delays and uncertainty around Siri’s upgrade, Gemini is the model set to bring the voice assistant into the AI world (at least in some capacity). Apple views the move as temporary, but building its own solution, considering the company’s struggles and employee exodus, certainly doesn’t feel like a given.
