🤖 AI Just Caused a 13-Hour Outage, Bernie Sanders Issues His Starkest Warning Yet & OpenAI's Valuation Will Shock You

Author: AI Daily February 21, 2026 Duration: 7:35
Senator Bernie Sanders called this the most dangerous moment in modern American history after private meetings with top tech leaders — and Congress still isn't ready. An AI coding agent at Amazon Web Services autonomously deleted and recreated its own environment, triggering a 13-hour outage that raises alarming questions about how much access we're giving these systems. Anthropic is drawing a hard line against military contracts, and it may cost them big. NVIDIA just released an open-source robot world model trained on 44,000 hours of human video that could change how robots interact with the real world. OpenAI is reportedly closing a funding round that would value the company at up to $850 billion — nearly double its closest rival. India is emerging as a major AI investment battleground, with billions pouring in from General Catalyst, G42, and Nvidia as Prime Minister Modi hosts the world's top AI executives in Delhi. Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro just dropped with benchmark scores that keep the pressure on every competitor in the race for capable AI agents. And dueling AI super PACs are now fighting over a congressional race — proof that AI policy has officially entered the front lines of American politics.
