‘We have the high ground on this issue’
Anthropic says its own new model is too dangerous for the public — but not these Big Tech companies
Anthropic is sending out a warning that its artificial intelligence model is sophisticated enough to undo decades of research.
The company operates Claude, the AI chatbot that has been ripped off and turned into a free, public model, and is hoping to get together with a consortium of tech companies to button up the security measures ahead of its release.
‘It has found vulnerabilities, and in some cases crafted exploits.’
Anthropic’s Mythos model of Claude AI will only be available to 40 select companies to be used for the power of good, the company claims.
It represents “the starting point for what we think will be an industry change point, or reckoning, with what needs to happen now,” said Logan Graham, head of Anthropic’s vulnerability testing team.
The company fears that its new AI model is so good at finding cracks in cybersecurity that it must only be shared with companies it deems capable and responsible enough to prepare for possible attacks when Mythos goes public.
“This model is good at finding vulnerabilities that would be well understood and findable by security researchers,” Graham said. “At the same time, it has found vulnerabilities, and in some cases crafted exploits, sophisticated enough that they were both missed by literally decades of security researchers, as well as all the automated tools designed to find them.”

Anthropic will reportedly commit up to $100 million in credits for the project, meaning the amount of money it would typically charge for such a volume of its chatbot’s usage.
Labeled Project Glasswing, the initiative to shore up cybersecurity will grant Mythos access to handpicked companies chosen largely from Big Tech like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft. The group is rounded out by internet infrastructure and cybersecurity giants like Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Nvidia, and Palo Alto Networks, along with financial titan JPMorgan Chase and key open-source nonprofit the Linux Foundation.
This is not the first time an AI company has warned its product is too dangerous for the public, and looking back, readers can gauge whether or not Claude may be as dangerous as its creators purport it to be.
In 2019, OpenAI sent out a warning ahead of its release of GPT-2, claiming that its capabilities — now vastly eclipsed by later models — could be used to mass-produce propaganda or misleading text.
As Wired reported at the time, OpenAI said GPT-2 was too risky to be released to the general public.

Claude has been in the news for alleged missteps, leaks, and accidental postings throughout the past year, and while it may not be a household name yet, it has raced its way through the tech sector as a go-to for “agentic” work building software, apps, and even companies.
In addition to its model being open-sourced and used by the general public for free, the company has been noted for “accidental” postings of its own code.
Anthropic “accidentally uploaded a file to a public repository that’s just meant to help developers understand how to use their product” and “exposed some of the source code of Claude,” reporter Aaron Holmes explained recently.
Proprietary information was further leaked in another alleged accidental posting, this time through a blog draft that revealed “internal source code.”
The company seems poised for consistent marketing battles, both willing and unwilling, from its high-stakes lawsuit against the federal government labeling it a supply chain risk to the blowback it has received from putting a woman closely linked to the cultish Effective Altruism movement in charge of its AI’s “Constitution.”

Crucial detail about Iryna Zarutska’s suspected murderer may ease online outrage after ‘incompetency’ ruling
Outrage spread online earlier this week after reports emerged that Iryna Zarutska’s suspected murderer was ruled incompetent to stand trial. Amid the outrage, however, a glimmer of good news came out for those invested in seeking justice in the high-profile case from August 2025.
Blaze News reported Wednesday that Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr., the suspect in Iryna Zarutska’s senseless stabbing on the subway system in Charlotte, North Carolina, was deemed incompetent to stand trial. This news caused many to speculate that the suspect may escape punishment on a technicality.
‘How many more innocent people must we sacrifice for the sake of coddling and babying the absolute scum of the Earth?’
Many online commentators and even a foreign leader reacted to an X post from the New York Post on the development.
“The purpose of a system is what it does,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said.

“If you’re competent enough to target a woman and murder her, you’re competent enough to stand trial, be found guilty, and receive the death penalty,” BlazeTV’s Allie Beth Stuckey responded.
The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh’s response summed up the outrage:
The whole idea of “incompetent to stand trial” is f**king nonsense. If you’re too “incompetent” to understand that you shouldn’t butcher an innocent woman on the train, you should die. Period. Arrest, convict, execute. You are not fit to be a part of human society. How many more innocent people must we sacrifice for the sake of coddling and babying the absolute scum of the Earth? Our ancestors had it right. They would have had this guy hanging from the gallows an hour after conviction. The old system of justice was light years better than this insane bulls**t we’re dealing with now.
El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, who has cleaned up his country from crime quite effectively in recent months, said, “Impeach the corrupt judges.”
CEO of NXR Studios and Pastor Joel Webbon weighed in as well: “No one is too incompetent for the death penalty. All you have to do is sit there. He’ll do fine.”
While the outrage surrounding the murder case continues, the report from the New York Post’s headline did not mention separate federal charges against Brown that are unaffected by the findings of the state case. The Post did, however, mention this fact in the report.
The Western District of North Carolina U.S. Attorney’s Office made this key detail abundantly clear in its response to the Post on social media: “DeCarlos Brown is in federal custody on a federal indictment. The state proceedings, including any competency finding in those proceedings, are completely separate.”
Brown faces a federal charge of one count of committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system. If convicted, he could still face life in prison or even the death penalty.
“Crimes like this … affect everyone who relies on mass transportation to get to and from work and go about their daily lives,” U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson said in September, “and federal charges are necessary to protect the public and ensure confidence in our transportation systems.”

Teens definitely pick wrong homeowner to ‘ding-dong ditch’; cops say he came out of house with gun, opened fire after prank
A gun-toting Ohio man was arrested Saturday after he opened fire multiple times at a car full of juveniles after a “ding-dong ditch” prank on his Green Township residence, WXIX-TV reported, citing court records.
Police said they discovered shell casings and a semiautomatic pistol with a green laser at the home of 33-year-old Yarvis Godfrey in the 5000 block of Starvue Drive, the station said, citing an affidavit.
‘He doesn’t deserve what’s happening to him. He’s not a criminal at all. And I’m concerned for him and his family.’
WXIX said no one was hurt, but court records indicate that a bullet struck the vehicle the teens were in as they took off.
Godfrey is charged with felonious assault, improperly discharging a firearm at or into a habitation or school safety zone, and two counts of discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises, the station said.
Four juveniles told police they went to the home to “ding-dong ditch” it and banged on the front door before running back to their vehicle, WXIX said, citing the affidavit.
A neighbor of Godfrey’s said in a WXIX news video that “he’s got footprints on his door … I guess they were kicking it.”
The station said the teens drove to a nearby cul-de-sac, turned around, drove back up the street, and passed the home in question.
The teens told police they saw a man with a gun near the street, and all four described the gun as having a green light or laser, WXIX reported, citing court records.
The station said the suspect fired multiple shots, and the juveniles fled to another cul-de-sac.
The suspect, later identified as Godfrey, followed them to confront them when police arrived, WXIX said, citing the affidavit.

Officers said they found a bullet hole in the trunk of the juveniles’ black Kia Rio, a second bullet hole in the siding of a nearby home, and a third bullet hole in the siding of another home, the station noted, citing court records.
Police said they also found a .45 caliber shell casing on the road in front of the home, WXIX reported.
Officers executed a search warrant on the home and said they found a .45 caliber black semiautomatic pistol with a green laser, the station said, citing the affidavit.
“Responding with a .45 caliber weapon is completely disproportionate,” Hamilton County prosecutors said in court Monday, WLWT-TV reported; prosecutors also requested a no-firearms order to be added to Godfrey’s bond.
Godfrey’s bond was set at $80,000 on all the charges, WLWT noted, adding that the judge granted the no-firearms order. Godfrey reportedly also is to have no contact with the juveniles.
During Godfrey’s arraignment, his attorney said Godfrey doesn’t know who the juveniles are, WLWT said, adding that prosecutors allege the group knows one of Godfrey’s children who lives in the home.
Police said Godfrey was taken to the Hamilton County Justice Center, but he didn’t turn up in a Thursday-morning check of the facility’s inmate roster.
Police said all juveniles involved were charged with disorderly conduct.
The same neighbor who spoke in the WXIX news video said of Godfrey, “He’s a really good man, and I hate to see what’s happening to him. He doesn’t deserve what’s happening to him. He’s not a criminal at all. And I’m concerned for him and his family. “
The neighbor added that Godfrey “was very angry. I think it had happened before. I think this was like the second time. … ‘I’m tired of them doing this to me’ is what he said.”

Trump is keeping his word on health care costs
For years, Washington insiders from both parties talked a big game about lowering health care costs. Yet somehow, the bills kept rising, families kept struggling, and the real power players in the system kept getting a free pass. Not anymore.
The Trump administration’s Department of Justice is finally taking aim at one of the biggest and most overlooked drivers of high health care costs: anticompetitive contracting by dominant hospital systems.
Hospitals are businesses first and foremost — and like any business, they’re out to maximize profits.
The recent lawsuits against giants like New York Presbyterian and Ohio Health are a clear signal that the era of unchecked hospital power is coming to an end.
Let’s be honest about what’s been happening. In city after city, hospital markets have quietly consolidated until competition barely exists. When nearly all metro areas have highly concentrated hospital systems, those systems use their leverage to lock in contracts that guarantee them top-tier placement in insurance networks while blocking efforts to guide patients toward more affordable care.
These so-called “anti-steering” provisions might sound technical, but their impact is simple: higher prices and fewer choices for American families.
When insurers and employers cannot design plans that reward lower-cost, high-quality providers, patients are forced into more expensive options whether they realize it or not. Workers pay more in premiums. Businesses face higher costs. Taxpayers pick up the tab through government programs.
What makes the Trump DOJ’s actions so important is that they are willing to challenge institutions that have long been treated as untouchable. Hospitals often enjoy a halo effect in their communities, and many do lifesaving work. But that does not give them the right to use their market dominance to shut out competition and inflate prices.
Hospitals are businesses first and foremost — and like any business, they’re out to maximize profits.
By going after these restrictive contracts, the administration is restoring something that has been missing from health care for far too long: real competition. When plans have the flexibility to exclude overpriced systems or steer patients toward better-value options, the entire market starts to work the way it is supposed to.
We already have evidence this works. Plans that avoid the most expensive hospital systems can significantly reduce costs — without negatively impacting the quality of the care being delivered — and even modest steering can deliver meaningful savings. In a system as large as American health care, those savings translate into billions of dollars and real relief for families.
Predictably, the corporate hospital industry is pushing back, claiming these lawsuits are misguided. But that is what you hear whenever someone finally challenges entrenched interests. The same voices that benefited from the status quo are now being asked to compete on a level playing field, and they do not like it.

Instead of protecting powerful institutions, the Trump administration is standing up for patients, workers, and employers who have been footing the bill for far too long. It is a reminder that markets only work when competition is protected, and that means enforcing the rules when they are violated.
For decades, Americans have been told that health care costs are just too complicated to fix. But sometimes the problem is simpler than the experts admit. When a few dominant players can write the rules, everyone else loses. President Trump and the Department of Justice are finally rewriting that script.
Draining the swamp is not just about Washington politics. It is about rooting out the hidden arrangements and insider advantages that drive up costs across our economy, including in health care.
By taking on anticompetitive hospital contracting, the Trump administration is proving that no industry is above scrutiny.
That is a win for competition, a win for affordability, and most importantly, a win for the American people.
