Anthropic's new Mythos model didn't just get better at writing code — it got better at breaking it. In an hour, an AI mapped decades of hidden vulnerabilities across live systems. In four hours, a supply chain attack silently exfiltrated 500,000 credentials and compromised 20,000 repositories. The question isn't whether this is alarming. It's whether the companies and governments responsible for protecting critical infrastructure — water, power, gas — are anywhere close to ready. On this episode of The BroBots, Jeremy and Jason work through what Anthropic's internal memo actually said, what a cyberweapon-grade AI changes about the attack surface, and why Jason thinks the survivalists have been right all along.
