The UK government quietly confirmed an AI model just completed the hacking equivalent of a four-minute mile. Eleven of the largest companies on Earth already have a copy. The threat model you were operating under on Friday is not the one you are operating under today.

In this episode:

What Claude Mythos actually did on AISI's 32-step "Last Ones" test — and why Anthropic's own safety team called it "the greatest alignment-related risk" they've released
The Roger Bannister four-minute mile analogy — why one lab crossing a capability barrier changes what every other lab believes is possible
Project Glasswing — the eleven companies with access (AWS, Apple, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorgan, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks, Goldman Sachs, Linux Foundation) and the oversight framework that isn't public
Why your threat model shifted from nation-states to "everyone who has ever been angry at you and kept a copy of something"
The three-step playbook to ask about by Friday: kill switches (1-10-60 rule, CrowdStrike/SentinelOne/Defender isolation), agentic security platforms reading your logs 24/7, and immutable 3-2-1-1 backups (Veeam, Rubrik, Commvault, AWS S3 Object Lock)
The CEO mirror — a three-column credential audit to take into your next forum meeting

Key line: "The tool does the skill. The tool does the twenty hours of work. A motivated amateur with a Claude API key and a grudge is now a credible threat."

Cybersecurity used to be a specialist problem. It is now an operational problem. It belongs in the same meeting as insurance and succession.
