The most dangerous AI model ever created was accessed by amateurs on Discord who made an educated guess about a URL. According to WIRED, the group examined data from a breach of AI training startup Mercor, inferred Anthropic’s URL naming convention from public knowledge, and walked straight in. This AI safety controls vulnerability wasn’t a
Everyone assumes Anthropic’s most dangerous unreleased AI model stays private through technical security. Instead, a Discord channel full of amateur sleuths broke in by guessing a URL pattern and using one contractor’s legitimate access credentials. According to reporting by Bloomberg and confirmed to TechCrunch by Anthropic, the group accessed Claude Mythos Preview through a third-party
Everyone assumes the AI wars are won by whoever builds the biggest language model. Yann LeCun just raised $1 billion to prove that assumption is catastrophically wrong. The legendary AI researcher—who left Meta to found AMI Labs—is betting the entire future of artificial intelligence on smaller, specialized, modular systems instead. AI infrastructure cost is now
Everyone assumes AWS and Google Cloud dominate because they have economies of scale. But that advantage evaporates the moment your workloads shift from humans to AI agents that need to deploy, test, and iterate in sub-second cycles. AI-native cloud infrastructure just got its clearest proof point yet: Railway raised $100 million in a Series B,
We call AI systems “smart,” say they “know” things, and describe them as “understanding” code — language so natural it feels harmless. But new research from Iowa State University shows this anthropomorphism quietly inflates expectations about AI capabilities, while simultaneously, a free AI coding agent called Goose is doing what $200-a-month software does, forcing the
You’ve heard Chromebooks are cheap junk you buy for grandma’s email. That reputation is dead. Today’s Chromebook Plus specs worth buying include 16GB RAM, backlit keyboards, and MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 processors that keep pace with budget Windows laptops—all while lasting twice as long on a charge. According to WIRED, the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14
The gaming laptop market has solved the wrong problem. For years, manufacturers obsessed over making machines thinner and quieter—and succeeded brilliantly. But in 2026, gaming laptop performance trade-offs have become the central decision every buyer faces: ultra-slim premiums like the Razer Blade 16 push RTX 5090 performance into a 0.7-inch chassis while quietly throttling the
Your next corporate memo is probably AI-generated, and not because you wrote it that way. A sentence structure so predictable it quadrupled in earnings calls and press releases between 2023 and 2025—“it’s not just X, it’s Y”—has become the linguistic equivalent of a tell in poker. According to Barron’s analysis of AlphaSense’s database, this single
Most organizations can’t stop their AI systems when they malfunction. According to new ISACA research, 59% of digital trust professionals don’t know how quickly their organization could interrupt and halt an AI system during a security incident — and only 21% could actually do it within 30 minutes. These same organizations have embedded AI into
Google just proved that a quantum computer could break 256-bit elliptic curve encryption in 9 minutes using only 1,200 logical qubits—orders of magnitude fewer than anyone thought necessary. That’s not a theoretical endpoint in 2050. It’s a 2029 deadline. And unlike the slow-motion threat of decryption, this means post-quantum cryptography migration is no longer a
