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.

A Cholesterol Drug Has Been Available for a Decade. New Trial Data Suggests We've Been Under-Prescribing It to the Wrong Patients.

The VESALIUS-CV trial shows evolocumab cuts first heart attacks by 25% — in patients who haven't had one yet. Only 3.3% of eligible patients currently receive PCSK9 inhibitors. Insurers approve less than half of requests.

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.

Anthropic Accidentally Published Its Next Model. What the Leak Actually Tells Us.

A misconfigured database exposed 3,000 internal assets including a draft announcement for Claude Mythos — a model Anthropic says represents a 'step change' in capabilities and poses 'unprecedented cybersecurity risks.' The irony of the leak is the least interesting part.

Bots Are Now the Majority of Internet Traffic. The Web Was Not Built for This.

For the first time, automated traffic outnumbers human visitors on the global internet. Every metric the ad-supported web depends on was designed assuming the opposite.

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

A peer-reviewed study put 17 radiologists from 12 countries against AI-generated medical images. When they didn't know fakes were present, only 41% caught them. Experience didn't help. Neither did asking the AI that made them.

Ozempic Is Changing Brains, Not Just Bodies

New research confirms semaglutide reduces depression, anxiety, and addiction risk alongside weight loss. The mechanism points to something psychiatry has underweighted for decades: the metabolic roots of mental illness.

Apple Is Opening Siri to Every Major AI. That Doesn't Mean What You Think It Does.

iOS 27's Extensions system will let users route Siri queries to ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. The architecture is more interesting — and more constrained — than the headlines suggest.
