The Cyber Bloodhound: Why Anthropic Locked Their Most Powerful Model in the Shed. Claude Mythos: Intelligence Report Status: Internal Leak confirmed by Anthropic (March 2026). The "Capybara" Tier: A new fourth tier sitting above Opus in reasoning and cost. Exploit Discovery: Found 181 vulnerabilities where previous models found only 2. Project Glasswing: A $100M defensive initiative for critical infrastructure partners. Okay, so here's what everyone gets dead wrong about Claude Mythos . They treat it like just another model upgrade. Bigger numbers. Faster tokens. Same old story. Bullshit. This thing isn't Claude 5 or Opus 4.7. It's a whole new beast sitting above the entire lineup. Anthropic didn't plan to drop the news this way. But a screw-up in their system spilled the files. And now we know why they kept it loc...

Yeah, the whole damn AI video app. Everyone keeps saying AI moves too fast. Bullshit. The real mistake? Thinking flashy demos last. People hyped Sora as the next TikTok—a creative playground where anyone could spit out wild, cinematic clips in seconds. Hollywood was shook. Open...

Write a connector once; use it across Claude, Cursor, and any custom agent. MCP for Beginners Everyone is talking about MCP, and almost no one is explaining it right. The common take is: "MCP is a protocol that lets AI models connect to tools." That tells you nothing useful. MCP is really about a standardization problem that was quietly breaking the AI revolution. To understand MCP, you have to understand the ungl...

Ask someone what a gaming console is, and they’ll likely call it a "cheap gaming box"[cite: 4]. That is the laziest take in history. A gaming console is a purpose-built computing machine designed for one thing: dominating entertainment[cite: 6]. Think of it as a Formula 1 race car [cite:...

Meet Perplexity Computer . It isn't a chatbot or a search bar; it is...

Everyone's been losing their minds over AI agents. Articles are flying. LinkedIn is on fire. CEOs are dropping the phrase in every meeting. And most of them are dead wrong about what it actually means. People think AI agents are just smarter chatbots or fancier autocomplete. Wrong. An AI agent is not about talking; it's about doing . That is the entire difference—and it changes everything. A chatbot wa...

Your group chat with 47 people who never mute themselves. And buried underneath all of it is this quiet assumption—it's encrypted, so it's safe. That assumption is exactly where things go wrong. End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is more like a see-through envelope: the letter inside...
