Anthropic's Most Capable Model Is Too Dangerous to Release. So They Built a Controlled Access Program Instead.

Claude Mythos Preview found a 27-year-old OpenBSD bug, a 17-year-old FreeBSD remote code execution vulnerability, and a 16-year-old FFmpeg flaw. It developed a working kernel exploit in 4 hours. Anthropic is not releasing it publicly. Instead, they built Project Glasswing — and the 12 launch partners tell you everything about who they think can handle it.

Wall Street's '20,000 AI Agents' Story Is Mostly Wrong. The Real Story Is More Interesting.

BNY Mellon didn't deploy 20,000 AI agents. It trained 20,000 employees to build them — and deployed 130 autonomous agents with their own email addresses, Teams credentials, and human supervisors. That distinction matters more than the headline.

Ukraine Is Now Selling Weapons to the Gulf. The Buyer and Seller Have the Same Enemy.

Zelenskyy signed 10-year defense deals with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE this week. Ukraine is offering combat-tested drone technology that has neutralized a third of Russia's Black Sea Fleet. In return it wants Patriot missiles — which the Gulf needs for the same reason Ukraine does.

Google Says Quantum Computers Could Crack Bitcoin in 9 Minutes. The Math Behind That Claim Is More Complicated.

Google's new paper cut the estimated qubit requirement to break Bitcoin's encryption by 10x. That's a real advance. The machine that would run the attack doesn't exist and won't by 2029. But one of the two major cryptocurrencies has a plan and the other doesn't.

The H5N1 'Death Rate' Story Is About Lab Hamsters in a Spacesuit Facility. Here's What the Study Actually Found.

A Nature Communications paper on H5N1 transmission is being framed as reckless pandemic-creation research. The actual finding — airborne transmission remained inefficient — is the reassuring headline nobody ran.

AI-Generated X-Rays Fool Radiologists More Than Half the Time. The Fraud Risk Is Real.
