Russian

...

some sort of insane Russian casino where also you can watch cam people.

Uh, and that's, you know, the 11th time you X out of it, there it is.

You're watching The Brewers.

Yes.

I'm a, I'm an animation sub is what I-

You learned about that on some of those Russian casinos that-

Exactly [laughs] I'm hearing, in fact, I'm-

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom Show.

I, I, I don't have a Russian accent, sorry.

Oh, give us your best.

I don't have one.

Oh.

[laughs]

A lot of Russians?

It's all Russians.

Claude was used in a real weapons development program.

Cases included a Yemen-based guided rocket test, a Russian autonomous kamikaze drone swarm, and Chinese software for prioritizing Taiwanese air defense grant.

We didn't get IoCs there, but it talked about, uh, uh, Anthropic also found Claude being used in potentially dangerous bio- biological research.

Cases involved chikungunya gain-of-function work, mammal-adapted avian influenza, orthopoxvirus research, and toxin design.

Mm.

Which suggests to me that when we get these threat intel reports from Anthropic, it's never gonna be complete.

Did that stand out to you, Costi, that only the Russians, the Chinese, and the Iranians are bad people?

[laughs] Um, I, I, I, I have like, um-

Mysterious, ominous houses.

We've just had The House of the Rising Sun by The Animals, and the track I've selected is The Old Castle by Modest Mussorgsky, one of the great Russian composers.

[instrumental music]

The Old Castle, Il Vecchio Castello, by the Russian composer, Modest Mussorgsky, from 1874.

Now, houses of ominous nature.

[laughs]

[laughs]

We brought in the Russian sleeper agent.

Let's go.

Oh-

... um, good job

Yeah

... brought the Russian asset to the-

[laughs]

Remember the story when he first joined? People don't remember this.

When he first joined, they claimed Yekinda used to translate into Russian for him in the team, as in his, like, English wasn't that good or something early on, which is, if that's a real thing, by the way, guys, then you're not going to, like, instantly, within two months, suddenly be fluent in English.

Like, that's, you're going to gradually pick it up and it's going to get a little bit smoother, but...

It's never going to be as clean as if you were all from the same country, you know, literally speaking.

"Or quit.

Russian frequencies probably jammed since '86." Nikita snorts at that.

She's perched on the pontoon, boots dangling above the black, mouth twisted in a half smirk.

"It's not Soviet jamming.

There's something deeply unbalanced in here.

Everything is where it should not be.

Medical trays stacked in pairs, clipboards arrayed in perfect angles, tags on every switch written in dual languages, English then Russian.

The room temperature is shocking, cold as a meat locker, breath frosting.

The song was speaking, not just in patterns or tones, but laced with clipped, garbled fragments.

Snippets of English, sometimes Russian, almost always the exact words one of us had spoken into the intercom in the past days.

No one wanted to admit it at first, but after playing it backward, isolating certain bands, my own cough, Lynn's laughter, Marco's muttered curses, all there woven into the pattern.

So it's learning, Rouser declared, almost awed, or it's using us as feedback.

Along those lines, what is the hardest name you've ever had to pronounce? Ooh.

Oh, it has to be a Russian.

Yeah.

You know, the Russian names are tough.

I write them down phonetically.

Oh,
