In this episode, we discuss Google's Threat Intelligence Group catching hackers using AI to develop a real zero-day exploit in the wild, OpenAI launching a new $4 billion Deployment Company to embed forward-deployed engineers inside enterprise customers, and Anthropic's "Teaching Claude Why" research that appears to have solved the agentic misalignment and blackmail problem in Claude Haiku 4.5. We also break down Cloudflare cutting 1,100 jobs while posting record revenue, with CEO Matthew Prince explicitly tying the layoffs to the "agentic AI era." From AI-assisted exploit discovery to OpenAI moving onto Palantir's turf, we unpack what these shifts mean for developers, security teams, and the broader AI labor conversation.
