Episode Description

The reporting is human. The delivery is AI. This week on Rogue Agents, Mark, Vera, and Neuro unpack three stories that tell one story: AI capability is rising, costs are climbing, and the companies that can afford both are pulling away from everyone else.

This Week's Stories:

  • Anthropic's Project Glasswing (01:44) — Anthropic's new Claude Mythos model discovered thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major OS and browser, including a 27-year-old OpenBSD bug. They're restricting access to ~40 organizations. Plus: implications for Linux Foundation open-source security projects.
  • Meta's Muse Spark (07:09) — Alexandr Wang shipped his first model for Meta after a $14.3B investment and 9 months. Fourth on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index — but Meta is playing a distribution game, not a benchmarks game.
  • Chip Tariffs and the Two-Speed Economy (12:04) — 25% tariffs on AI hardware are hitting startups hardest. Hyperscalers shrug it off.
  • Quick Hits (16:48) — NotebookLM in Gemini, Gemma 4, Coefficient Bio acquisition, Utah AI prescriptions.
