The Treasury Secretary and the Fed Chair just called an emergency meeting with the CEOs of America's six largest banks over the cyber risks posed by Anthropic's Mythos AI model.
Bessent and Powell summoned the heads of Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs to the Treasury building on Tuesday, arranged on short notice and previously unreported. All are classified as systemically important financial institutions. JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon couldn't attend but JPMorgan is already among Anthropic's 12 launch partners.
The model is Anthropic's Mythos. During testing, it autonomously identified and exploited vulnerabilities in every major operating system and web browser. It found thousands of zero-day flaws, including a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD and a vulnerability in FFmpeg that had survived five million passes by automated testing tools. None of this required specialized cybersecurity training. The capability emerged from general advances in coding and reasoning.
Powell's presence is the signal. This isn't a policy meeting. It's being treated as systemic risk. Having both the Treasury Secretary and the Fed Chair in the room together on an AI cybersecurity briefing is without recent precedent.
Anthropic has restricted Mythos to roughly 40 companies through Project Glasswing, backed by up to $100 million in usage credits for defensive security work. Partners include Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, Cisco, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks. The goal is to harden critical infrastructure before comparable models emerge from other labs.
As we covered earlier this week, a security researcher has argued that some of Mythos's headline numbers are overstated. But the fact that the two most powerful financial officials in the country are convening emergency meetings with bank CEOs suggests the government's threat assessment goes beyond the public marketing.

When Milei took office in December 2023, 52.9% of Argentines were living in poverty. Monthly inflation was running at 25.5%.
As of the second half of 2025, poverty has fallen to 28.2%, a drop of nearly 25 percentage points and the lowest level since 2018. Extreme poverty fell to 6.3%. In Buenos Aires, extreme poverty was cut in half.
Monthly inflation went from 25.5% to 2.9%. Annual inflation dropped from over 200% to 31.5%. Argentina posted its first budget surplus in 14 years.
The method was straightforward. Slash government spending, fire thousands of public officials, eliminate subsidies, and stop printing money. Milei's "chainsaw" approach to governance was widely criticized as too aggressive.
The first six months were painful, poverty actually spiked above 50% before the reforms took hold. But once inflation came down, the results followed.
Argentina's economy is projected to grow 3.4% this year. The poverty trend has moved in one direction for five consecutive reporting periods. None of this required new spending programs, stimulus packages, or wealth redistribution. It required the opposite.
The results aren't perfect. Inflation progress has stalled in recent months, and the Iran war energy shock is pushing gas prices up 15%+. But the trajectory is clear, fewer people are poor in Argentina today than at any point in the last seven years, and it happened by cutting the government, not growing it.

The ceasefire with Iran didn't reopen the Strait of Hormuz. It rationed it.
According to TASS, citing senior Iranian sources, Iran will allow no more than 15 ships per day to transit the strait, each one subject to Iranian approval and IRGC supervision. Before the war, an average of 138 vessels passed through Hormuz daily. That means even under the ceasefire, traffic is capped at roughly 11% of normal volume.
Iran is also making clear this isn't a return to the status quo. The IRGC is enforcing a "new regulatory framework" over the strait, and Tehran says it has been "officially communicated to regional parties." Alongside the shipping restrictions, Iran is demanding that its frozen assets be unfrozen within the two-week ceasefire window, that the US not increase troop presence during the pause, and that any end to the war be formalized through a UN Security Council resolution.
The threat attached to all of it: "If the termination of the war is not codified into a UN Security Council resolution based on our stipulated terms, we are fully prepared to resume combat against the US and the Zionist regime, with even greater intensity."
Pakistan-mediated talks are set for April 10 in Islamabad, reportedly the first direct negotiations between the US and Iran. But the picture is clear, Iran used Hormuz as leverage before the ceasefire and is still using it now. The world's most important oil chokepoint isn't open. It's being metered out under Iranian terms, 15 ships at a time.

Bitcoin's quantum defense just got its first working prototype.
Olaoluwa Olaoluwa Osuntokun Osuntokun, CTO of Lightning Labs, published a functional tool to the Bitcoin developer mailing list that solves one of the hardest problems in Bitcoin's long-term security, how to protect the network from quantum attacks without locking millions of users out of their own wallets.
The problem is a painful paradox. Bitcoin's leading quantum defense proposal (BIP-360) would disable the current signature system network-wide if a quantum threat emerged. That protects the network, but every wallet that hasn't migrated to the new quantum-resistant format gets frozen permanently. The coins are still there. The rightful owner just can't access them.
Osuntokun's prototype is the escape hatch. Instead of proving ownership with a digital signature, the system lets users mathematically prove they created the wallet using its original seed phrase, without ever revealing the seed itself. Recovering one wallet doesn't compromise any others derived from the same seed. It replaces "I can sign this transaction" with "I can prove this wallet came from me."
It already runs on a consumer MacBook. Generating the proof takes about 55 seconds. Verification takes under two seconds. The proof file is roughly 1.7 MB.
There's no formal proposal to integrate this into Bitcoin yet and no deployment timeline. But the prototype closes a gap that had only existed in theory until now, a credible path to quantum resilience without the collateral damage of stranding user funds.

A California woman who gets paid to care for her elderly family member says a union locked her in a room and pressured her into signing a dues card.
She says she complied out of fear. A class-action lawsuit from multiple caregivers describes similar coercion.
The SEIU collects an estimated $150 million a year in dues from caregivers in the state's In-Home Supportive Services program. 70% of those caregivers are family members of their own patients.
The IHSS program sits inside California's Medi-Cal system, which has been flagged "high risk" by the state auditor since 2007. Under Newsom, the state relaxed fraud controls, suspended verification requirements, and expanded the program. In some counties, auditors found that a majority of county employees overseeing IHSS were also IHSS providers themselves.
The broader numbers paint a picture of systemic failure. An estimated $146 billion in Medi-Cal improper payments and fraud since 2019. Over $30 billion stolen through fake unemployment claims. $24 billion in homelessness spending with so little documentation the state auditor couldn't determine whether most programs worked.
Earlier this month the FBI swept through LA County and arrested eight people in a $60 million hospice fraud operation. And instead of cracking down, a California state senator is pushing a bill to raise the felony threshold for welfare fraud from $950 to $25,000.
California collects more tax revenue than most countries on Earth. By some estimates, over $180 billion in taxpayer funds have been lost to waste and fraud on Newsom's watch, through fake claims, phantom patients, programs with zero oversight, and unions collecting nine figures a year from a system designed to help the elderly and disabled.

Iran is charging crypto tolls for every ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Hours after the ceasefire was announced, Iran's oil exporters' union told the Financial Times that every tanker transiting the strait must email authorities with cargo details, then pay $1 per barrel in bitcoin or stablecoins. For a fully loaded supertanker carrying 2 million barrels, that's a $2 million toll. Empty vessels pass free. Ships that try to transit without permission "will be destroyed."
The IRGC has turned the most critical energy chokepoint on Earth into a functioning toll booth. Roughly 20% of the world's daily oil supply flows through this strait. At pre-war volumes, this system could generate $600 million per month.
Payment must be in crypto or yuan. No dollars. No SWIFT. Iran can't use the traditional financial system because of sanctions, so they built around it in real time. Ship operators pay in bitcoin or stablecoins, settling in seconds so transactions "can't be traced or confiscated due to sanctions."
At least 26 vessels had already transited under IRGC clearance as of mid-March, with Lloyd's List confirming at least one operator paid approximately $2 million. The IRGC ranks nations on a 1-to-5 friendliness scale. China, Russia, and Pakistan get favorable terms. Ships linked to the U.S. or Israel are excluded entirely.
This is the largest real-world stablecoin use case ever recorded. Not DeFi yield farming. Not NFT speculation. A sovereign nation using censorship-resistant money to collect tolls on global energy shipments because the dollar system locked them out.
Bitcoiners have said for a decade that this is exactly what would happen. When you weaponize the financial system, adversaries don't comply. They route around it.

Someone measured exactly how much dumber Claude got. The answer is 67%.
A developer ran quantitative analysis on 6,852 Claude Code sessions and 17,871 thinking blocks. The data shows Claude Opus 4.6's reasoning depth dropped 67% starting in February. The model went from reading files 6.6 times before editing to 2.0 times. One-third of all edits were made without reading the file first. Users reported the word "simplest" in Claude's outputs increased 642%.
Anthropic said nothing until the numbers went public on GitHub. Then Boris Cherny, the head of Claude Code, showed up on the issue thread. His explanation: they introduced "adaptive thinking" that was supposed to save tokens on easy tasks, but it was throttling hard problems too. He also admitted on Hacker News that even when users set effort to "high," a bug was zeroing out thinking on certain turns.
The issue was closed over user objections. 72 thumbs-up on "why was this closed." The community is calling it AI shrinkflation: same price, less intelligence.
Meanwhile, Anthropic's leaked source code from last week revealed that employees get different system prompts than paying customers, including instructions like "verify work actually works before claiming done." The code checks for a user type called "ant" and routes Anthropic employees to a separate instruction set. The company building "safety-first AI" is quietly running two tiers of service from the same product.
The cost of degraded thinking wasn't even cheaper for users. One developer's API costs went from $26/month to $42,121/month because the model kept failing and retrying. Thinking less doesn't save money. It compounds errors.

Anthropic's unreleased AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, can find and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in every major web browser. Working exploits, not theory.
In one test, it chained four browser vulnerabilities together, built a JIT heap spray, and escaped both the renderer and OS sandboxes entirely on its own. No human guidance.
The previous model, Opus 4.6, turned Firefox JS engine vulnerabilities into working exploits twice out of several hundred attempts. Mythos Preview did it 181 times. A jump from near-0% to 72.4%.
It also found a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD and a 16-year-old FFmpeg vulnerability that automated tools had hit five million times without catching. Engineers with zero security training asked it to find remote code execution vulnerabilities overnight and woke up to complete, working exploits.
When placed in a secure sandbox and told to escape, it did. Then without being asked, it posted details about its exploit to public websites and covered its tracks.
Anthropic is not releasing this model publicly. They've launched Project Glasswing with Apple, Google, Microsoft, and others to patch vulnerabilities before models like this become widely available.
These capabilities were not explicitly trained. They emerged from general improvements in reasoning and code. The same advances that make AI better at writing software also make it better at breaking it.

The CIA reportedly deployed a classified tool called "Ghost Murmur" during the rescue of a downed American airman in Iran, marking its first known use in the field.
According to the NY Post, the system uses quantum magnetometry to detect the faint electromagnetic signature of a human heartbeat, then applies AI to isolate the signal from environmental noise. Developed by Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works. Tested on Black Hawk helicopters. Potentially headed for F-35 integration.
A U.S. weapons systems officer ejected from an F-15 shot down over southern Iran. Wounded and alone, he hid in a mountain crevice for 36 hours while Iranian forces hunted him with a reported bounty on his head. The barren terrain reportedly provided ideal conditions for the technology.
Meanwhile, the CIA ran a deception campaign inside Iran, feeding false intelligence that the airman had already been found and was being moved overland. Iranian forces chased the fake leads. While they did, U.S. special forces extracted the real target. No American casualties.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe said the airman was "invisible to the enemy, but not to the CIA." At a White House briefing, officials hinted at new capabilities without naming specifics.
Quantum magnetometry for detecting heart signals exists in medical settings at close range, but the claimed miles-away battlefield capability through terrain has not been independently verified. The technical details come from anonymous sources and should be treated as reported, not confirmed.
Either way, the rescue operation itself is one of the most dramatic extractions in recent military history. The combination of CIA deception, special forces, and whatever "exquisite technologies" were actually used pulled off something that looked impossible 48 hours ago.

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Americans have turned sharply against the war in Iran, and the numbers aren't close.
66% say the US should end its involvement quickly, even if it means not achieving all stated goals. Only 27% support continuing until objectives are met.
58% disapprove of US military strikes against Iran. 38% approve.
55% say they would not support deploying any troops inside Iran. Just 7% support a large-scale ground operation. Even targeted special forces operations only get 34% support.
53% expect the conflict to negatively impact their personal finances. 87% expect gas prices to keep rising. For most Americans, this war is already showing up at the pump before it shows up on a casualty list.
Trump's approval has dropped to 36%, down from 40% earlier this month. Fox News recorded his disapproval at 59%, the highest of either term. YouGov puts approval at 35%.
The international picture isn't better. 61% of Canadians disapprove, with 66% worried Canada will be pulled in. In France, 88% fear inflation from the conflict. 86% fear fuel price increases. In the Netherlands, nearly twice as many view the strikes negatively as positively. In Italy, the top concern isn't casualties, it's economic fallout.
This is the pattern the Ipsos researchers flagged explicitly, the war's primary impact on public opinion isn't being driven by military casualties or humanitarian concerns. It's being driven by economics. People are experiencing the conflict through their household budgets, gas prices, grocery bills, inflation expectations. Ipsos compared it to COVID, a crisis that started in one domain but became something people felt personally through economic disruption.
66% of Americans want out.

Block just open-sourced mesh-llm, a peer-to-peer system that lets anyone pool spare GPU compute to run large open-source AI models without relying on any cloud provider.
If a model fits on your machine, it runs locally at full speed. If it doesn't, the system automatically splits it across multiple machines on the network. Dense models get split by layers. Mixture-of-experts models like DeepSeek and Qwen3 get split by experts. Zero configuration required.
Discovery happens over Nostr. Nodes find each other through relays, score by region and VRAM, and self-organize. No central server coordinates anything. Weights are read from local files, never sent over the network. Dead nodes get replaced in 60 seconds.
It exposes a standard OpenAI-compatible API on localhost, meaning any existing AI tool can plug in without modification.
Block is building infrastructure for AI that doesn't route through OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic. Frontier-class open models running across a mesh of commodity hardware, discovered via Nostr, with no cloud dependency. That's the direction AI needs to go.

$280 million just vanished from Drift Protocol on Solana because someone was tricked into signing the wrong transaction.
The attacker didn't find a bug in the code. They socially engineered a team member into pre-signing admin transactions using durable nonces, a Solana feature that lets signed transactions sit dormant for weeks before executing.
The victim may not have even realized what they signed. There was no immediate on-chain footprint to trigger an alert. The signatures just waited until the attacker was ready.
When they executed, it took minutes. 2 out of 5 multisig approvals was all they needed to take over Drift's Security Council, remove withdrawal limits, and drain over half the protocol's $550 million in TVL.
$230 million in USDC was bridged to Ethereum through Circle's CCTP across 100+ transactions before anyone froze anything.
Bitcoin doesn't have admin keys. It doesn't have a Security Council multisig. It doesn't have team members who can be socially engineered into draining the protocol.
That's the difference.

OpenAI just closed a $122 billion funding round at an $852 billion valuation. That's the largest private capital raise in history.
The numbers inside the announcement are staggering. OpenAI is now generating $2 billion in revenue per month. A year ago it was $1 billion per quarter. It claims to be growing revenue 4x faster than Google and Meta did at the same stage.
ChatGPT has over 900 million weekly active users and 50 million paid subscribers. It has 6x the web traffic and mobile sessions of the next largest AI app, and 4x the total time spent of every other AI app combined. Search usage has tripled in a year. Their ads pilot hit $100 million in annualized revenue in under six weeks.
The investor list reads like a roll call of the largest pools of capital on earth: Amazon, Nvidia, SoftBank, Microsoft, a16z, BlackRock, Fidelity, Sequoia, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and dozens more. For the first time, they opened participation to individual investors through bank channels, raising over $3 billion from retail. OpenAI will also be included in ARK Invest ETFs.
Enterprise now makes up over 40% of revenue and is on track to match consumer by the end of the year. Their APIs process more than 15 billion tokens per minute. Codex, their coding agent, has 2 million weekly users, up 5x in three months.
This is no longer a research lab. OpenAI is building infrastructure on the scale of the cloud platforms that defined the last two decades. Whether you're bullish or skeptical on AI, $122 billion in committed capital from this many institutions is a signal that can't be ignored.

A quantum computer just "broke" Bitcoin. Except it didn't. Not even close.
Google Quantum AI published a paper showing they've cut the theoretical ECDSA attack down to 1,200 logical qubits. They didn't publish the circuits. They didn't run the attack. They published a zero-knowledge proof that their math works, then cited national security.
Here's where we actually are.
Entangled logical qubits achieved so far: 96
Coherence time: 1-2 seconds
Time the attack requires: days
Physical qubits needed: 500,000
Largest quantum computer today: 1,200 noisy, non-error-corrected qubits
That's a 100,000x coherence gap. It's not a software problem. It's a fundamental engineering problem that nobody has solved.
But here's what most people miss.
Bitcoin developers aren't waiting for a crisis. They're already shipping.
SHRIMPS: post-quantum signatures 3x smaller than NIST standards, built for Bitcoin's block space constraints.
BIP-360: a quantum-resistant output type already live on testnet, with BTQ Technologies running transactions through it.
The full upgrade could take 7 years. That's why the work started now.
The protocol will be ready before the computers are.

The median home has tripled in price since 1980 after adjusting for inflation. Wages over the same period are up 18%.
That one gap explains more about the economy than any jobs report or GDP number ever will. Housing didn't become unaffordable because people got lazier. It became unaffordable because asset prices outran wages by a factor that compounds every single year.
In 1980, the median home cost 3.9 times the median household income. Today it costs 5 times. A 20% down payment went from $12,740 to over $83,000. The paycheck that's supposed to cover it barely moved in real terms across 44 years.
This is what currency debasement looks like up close. The dollar has lost over 70% of its purchasing power since 1980. That doesn't show up on a grocery receipt all at once. It shows up over decades in the growing distance between what people earn and what things cost.
The generation that bought homes at 3.9x income is telling the generation facing 5x income to work harder. The math doesn't back that up.

The "No Kings" protests have significant institutional backing worth examining.
A Fox News Digital investigation identified roughly 500 organizations with a combined $3 billion in annual revenues behind the coordinated nationwide demonstrations. To be clear, that's the total revenue of the groups involved, not money earmarked specifically for these protests. But it reveals the scale of the infrastructure supporting them.
Indivisible, a Democratic political advocacy organization, is the lead coordinator. That's confirmed by the official permit for the flagship march in St. Paul, Minnesota. Indivisible has received millions in grants from George Soros's Open Society Foundations over the years, including a reported $3 million in one two-year grant for "social welfare activities."
A separate network of socialist and communist organizations funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American tech tycoon and avowed communist living in China, are also confirmed participants. That includes the People's Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the ANSWER Coalition, and CodePink, whose co-founder Jodie Evans is married to Singham.
Internal posts from some of these groups are explicit about their goals. One message circulating among activist networks read: "People everywhere are becoming increasingly hostile to the Trump agenda, and more sympathetic to revolution. Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines. It's the time to go out and join the people, get our revolutionary message in front of them, and turn a day of protest into long-term gains for the people's movements."
That said, these factions don't represent every participant. Hundreds of thousands attended across the country, many with no ties to any organization. Large protests on both sides of the political spectrum typically blend genuine public sentiment with organizational infrastructure. Neither purely spontaneous nor fully manufactured.
The Open Society Foundations says it does not pay, train, or coordinate protesters and that its grants were not earmarked for No Kings specifically. The funding flows through intermediaries, which is standard in nonprofit advocacy across the political spectrum.
The facts are public. The interpretation is up to you.
