Anthropic built an AI model so dangerous they refused to sell it. Then someone accessed it anyway. Here's what that means for the AI arms race — and why the capability window just got shorter.

This episode covers Claude Mythos, China's AI distillation strategy, the circular deal structure between Google and Anthropic, Oracle's debt crisis, and why 40% of US data centers are already behind schedule. The money is moving in circles. The infrastructure is breaking.
