It’s Kris, Matt, and Steve this week. It’s also Matt’s last episode before becoming a father. The conversation opens with Claude Mythos, Anthropic’s unreleased model that found 147 zero-days in Firefox’s JavaScript engine and a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD. Steve, who’s lived through before, puts it in context. The panel also discusses cooldown periods for package upgrades, the implications of nation-state hacking capability becoming available to anyone, and using AI for good.
