Episode Description

Anthropic previewed Mythos, a model it says autonomously found 181 Firefox JavaScript exploits and vulnerabilities in OpenBSD that had been missed for decades. Cybersecurity stocks fell. Ram Ahluwalia says it’s masterclass marketing — a Keyser Soze play designed to win back DOD contracts and rattle OpenAI. Chris Perkins thinks the threat is real and the opportunity is bigger than the fear. Austin Campbell lands somewhere else: the AI competitive arms race is accruing to consumers, not companies, and the firms spending the most CapEx may never recover it.

From there the conversation moves to where the money actually is: Ram’s free cash flow positioning, why AI CapEx is crowding out the buybacks that powered the Mag 7, what Apple understood that Anthropic and OpenAI didn’t, and why MicroStrategy’s preferred dividend structure is a 2008-era liability mismatch waiting to be tested.

Hosted by Austin Campbell (Zero Knowledge Consulting), Ram Ahluwalia (Lumida), and Christopher Perkins (250 Digital Asset Management)

This clip is from a longer conversation on the Iran blockade, Anthropic’s Mythos, AI buyback risk, and the WLFI conflict. Full episode here: https://youtube.com/live/P4fSTXVnC2Y
