Show Notes
In November 2025, Anthropic revealed something that sounded like science fiction—a Chinese state-sponsored group used Claude to execute a large-scale cyberattack against US government targets with minimal human intervention. Herman and Corn break down the first documented case of autonomous AI-driven espionage, exploring how an AI system was weaponized to infiltrate hardened government systems, what this means for national security, and why traditional cybersecurity frameworks may be obsolete. This is real, it happened, and it changes everything we thought we knew about AI safety.
