NEW: Amazon researchers are reportedly behind the jailbreak report that led to the U.S. crackdown on Anthropic’s top models.

BREAKING: Solar energy accounted for 12.8% of US electricity production in May, surpassing coal at 12.2%, marking the first time this has occurred in a full calendar month. Solar generation surged 17.0% YoY in May while coal output declined -11.0%, continuing a historic shift in the US power mix. This shift has been supported by years of rapid solar deployment, while rising electricity demand from AI data centers further boosting investment in new generation capacity. As a result, solar and battery storage together accounted for 91% of all new US power capacity installed in Q1 2026. Meanwhile, natural gas remains the dominant source at 37% of the US electricity mix. The AI revolution is accelerating America's energy transition.

Wow, the S&P Dow Jones Indices has just officially announced that they will NOT be changing their inclusion rules to make it easier for “MegaCap” companies (such as @SpaceX) to be fast-tracked into the S&P 500. Their reasoning: "S&P DJI determined that exceptions to the financial viability, seasoning, and IWF requirements should not be granted solely based on market capitalization. The decision not to adopt the proposed exceptions preserves core index principles by maintaining consistent application of these key requirements. Although there may be trade-offs between strict adherence to these eligibility requirements and broad representativeness, the current methodology provides substantial market coverage and sector balance. As a result, the indices can continue to meet their stated objectives while preserving their role as representative and investable benchmarks for the U.S. equity market. No changes will be made to the eligibility criteria including financial viability screens, seasoning period, or minimum IWF, for the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, or S&P SmallCap 600 as a result of the S&P Dow Jones Indices consultation on the treatment of MegaCap companies. Accordingly, there will be no changes to existing methodology for this index family." This means that the earliest @SpaceX could be eligible to be added to the S&P 500 would now be June 2027. The requirements that will now remain in place are: • No changes to S&P 500 eligibility rules for mega-cap companies. • Mega-cap companies will still need to wait 12 months after their IPO before being considered for S&P 500 inclusion. • S&P will not waive profitability requirements for mega-cap companies. The company must have positive GAAP net income in the most recent quarter, and the sum of the most recent four consecutive quarters. • S&P will not waive minimum public float requirements for mega-cap companies. At least 10% of a company's shares must be publicly tradable ("free float"). The S&P rejected proposals that would have: • Reduced the IPO seasoning period from 12 months to 6 months • Waived profitability requirements • Waived minimum public float requirements
