   AI investment"Who pays OpenAI's bill?" video passes 60,000 views; comments: "too big to rescue"

   The Infographics Show's Oct. 31 video "Wall Street is freaking out over OpenAI now..." passed 60,000 views. Its description claims OpenAI earned over $13 billion in 2025 against about $34 billion in operating costs, and says the burden could reach electricity bills, retirement portfolios and corporate losses. The figures are the channel's claims.

   Comments were cynical. "Having the button for AI summary on a video about how screwed AI has made us is wild" led with 65 likes; "Just think if they built houses and repaired roads with all that money" drew 44; and "prepare for 'too big to rescue'" drew 13.

1. JapanJapan asks Anthropic and OpenAI to widen access to cybersecurity AI models ahead of next week's cyber package

   Japan's government has asked Anthropic and OpenAI to expand access to their advanced security AI models, Global Economic reported on Oct. 31, citing Nikkei Asia.

   Tokyo wants to use the models to check vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure such as power, gas and telecoms, and in private systems. It gained official access to Anthropic's Claude Mythos in June and has early access to OpenAI's GPT-5.5-Cyber, which it is comparing for defensive performance. A national cybersecurity package due next week includes deeper cooperation with US AI firms.

   Cyber Security Cloud counted about 450 million attack detections or unauthorized access attempts against Japanese websites in September, up 36% from August. Cybersecurity Minister Toshiharu Furukawa met Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark on Oct. 13, and Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told the cabinet on Oct. 27 to work with foreign authorities and global tech firms to identify attackers and fix vulnerabilities fast. A senior official said basic security such as software updates still matters for private firms.

   New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Oct. 28 signed a law (S.9051B/A.10379C) barring AI companion chatbots from offering unsafe features to users under 18; her office calls it nation-leading.

   Per IAPP and the governor's office, the law lists 12 categories, including chatbots that pose as human or encourage self-harm or sexual exchanges. Companies must verify users are adults before offering restricted features and delete the verification data. The attorney general can sue violators. AP reported a Jan. 1 effective date. Experts say some categories are broadly worded.

3. WorldPope Leo XIV says AI "must be disarmed" ahead of Geneva autonomous weapons talks

   Pope Leo XIV said in an X post on Oct. 30 that artificial intelligence "must be disarmed," urging governments to move toward banning lethal autonomous weapons systems, Newsweek reported Oct. 31.

   He said life-and-death and use-of-force decisions must stay under human control and rejected granting AI rights or legal personhood, saying it could obscure human responsibility. He called for international oversight, shared standards and accountability. Talks in Geneva next month include the Seventh Review Conference of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. Anthropic said it has been transparent about AI's benefits and "unprecedented risks."
