The market finally asks AI to show its receipts. This week: Alphabet and Tesla beat on revenue but get hammered for record capex — the Nasdaq's worst day since April — while Intel posts its best growth since 2011; AMD and Anthropic strike a 2-gigawatt GPU deal with up to US$5B in equity; the "wp2shell" WordPress core flaws go from patch to mass exploitation in 48 hours; a 7,600-repository GitHub campaign booby-traps fake AI agent integrations — and AI coding assistants recommend them to victims; Anubis claims the Fairlife ransomware attack (unverified); and DeepSeek V4 arrives with API surge pricing. Practical takeaways for Australian businesses throughout.
