US Government Blocks GPT-5.6, Alibaba’s AI Theft, and Why OpenAI Is Stalling Their IPO | MOONSHOTS

Alibaba allegedly ran 28.8 million fraudulent API exchanges across 25,000 fake accounts to steal Claude’s intelligence. If confirmed, it’s the largest AI model theft ever attempted. The same week, the White House restricted GPT 5.6 to 20 companies, OpenAI delayed its IPO, and Neuralink announced it may attempt brain-to-brain telepathy this year.

– GPT 5.6 launches in three tiers: Sol, Terra, Luna all throttled by the White House. 

– Chinese proxy services offer Western frontier models at 90% discount. The trade: your reasoning traces get harvested for distillation. 

– OpenAI won’t IPO below $1 trillion. Revenue is at $40–50B annually but they’re burning $26B.

– Elon’s endgame for Neuralink is I/O layer for the singularity, allowing humans to couple with AI directly.
