ONE BIG THINGEXCLUSIVE: Anthropic\u2019s economics chief talks about the jobs that could be killed by AI<\/p>\n

More than 90% of the work done by tech and finance workers could\u2014in theory\u2014be replaced by AI, according to data published by Anthropic. But AI adoption in many industries is lower than expected, Peter McCrory, head of economics at Anthropic, told Fortune. \u201cI was somewhat surprised that the gap between sort of coding in general, which as we point out had something like 94% theoretical exposure, but then based on actual adoption, it was closer to 30% of the tasks across all the jobs in that pocket of the economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Anthropic\u2019s annual recurring revenue has surpassed OpenAI\u2019s for the first time, according to research from Jefferies analysts Brent Thill and Maximilian Joseph:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

IRANNo end in sight as we approach Trump\u2019s 8 p.m. deadline for a deal with Iran<\/p>\n

Negotiators on both sides of the Iran conflict are pessimistic that they will come to an accord before President Trump\u2019s latest deadline for a deal expires at 8 p.m. this evening. Trump has threatened to bomb Iran\u2019s civilian infrastructure\u2014bridges, power plants, and so on\u2014if Tehran doesn\u2019t propose something acceptable to him. Trump has set, and then extended, deadlines multiple times. The Iranians don\u2019t believe that Trump will let up in his missile assault on the country, the Wall Street Journal reports.<\/p>\n

Trump has said \u201cthe entire country\u201d of Iran \u201ccan be taken out in one night.\u201d One way to do that would be with BLU-114\/B bombs, according to Fortune\u2019s Eva Roytburg. The bombs don\u2019t destroy power infrastructure with explosives. Instead they release clouds of chemically treated carbon fiber filaments that drape over transformers and high-voltage lines, causing short circuits that cascade throughout the grid.<\/p>\n

Israel warned Iranians not to board trains today. In a social media post written in Farsi, the IDF urged civilians to not travel by train until 9 p.m. this evening local time. Strikes continued today on sites in Bahrain, Lebanon, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, per the BBC\u2019s live coverage.

NOT AGAIN, PLEASECicada: The creepy new name of the latest COVID mutation\u00a0<\/p>\n

See that tiny block of red data on the far right of this CDC chart, which I have helpfully marked with an asterisk? That\u2019s a new strain of COVID called \u201cCicada\u201d (officially BA.3.2) which \u201chas a highly mutated genetic sequence that some experts fear could enable it to evade some of our immunity from vaccination or a past COVID infection,\u201d according to Katelyn Jetelina, the respected author of the YLE epidemiology Substack. Although Cicada is spreading fast\u201423 countries so far\u2014it has not led to a significant wave of new COVID cases\u2026yet.<\/p>\n

Why is it called \u201cCicada\u201d? Because the variant, descended from an ancestor first detected in 2022, has been underground for years, according to T. Ryan Gregory a professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Guelph in Ontario.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

CHART OF THE DAYPrivate capital investment in decline\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear from looking at capital raising in recent years that the flows into direct lending and core private-equity funds have already started to contract. The global capital raised for private debt and private equity in 2025 was 11% less than in 2024, while capital raised for venture and buyout funds was down 21% and 16%, respectively,\u201d according to Alliance Bernstein\u2019s Inigo Fraser Jenkins and Alla Harmsworth.<\/p>\n

ONE MORE THINGThe Iran war will not trigger a \u2018rip to the upside,\u2019 Piper Sandler says<\/p>\n

In a pithy, single-paragraph note to clients titled \u201cHormuz Is Your Problem,\u201d on what might happen in the markets once the Iran war is concluded, Piper Sandler\u2019s head of U.S. policy research, Andy Laperriere, warned that the Iraq wars of 23 and 35 years ago will be no guide to traders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been perplexed by the number of people drawing parallels to the 1991 and 2003 wars against Iraq and assuming it is only a matter of time before stocks rip to the upside (as they did after both of those wars). Unlike those conflicts, the result is not going to be a resounding U.S. military victory in which the enemy is thoroughly vanquished. Moreover, unlike in those other conflicts, a lot more damage to energy infrastructure has occurred, a lot more energy production has ceased, the flow of oil has been massively disrupted, and an opening of the Strait of Hormuz is far from assured anytime soon,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

As for President Trump\u2019s belief that the Strait of Hormuz \u201cwill open up naturally\u201d once his assault on Tehran is over: \u201cThat seems optimistic,\u201d Laperriere said.<\/p>\n
