Anthropic has published a threat intelligence report on how it disrupted efforts to misuse Claude for cyberattacks, influence operations and surveillance, and a lot more.
Brian McCulloughHOST
Quoting TechCrunch, "Anthropic alleged persistent distillation attacks by China-based AI companies, which have escalated in recent months as competition in the space has intensified.
Brian McCulloughHOST
Over the last several months, unauthorized labs have developed increasingly sophisticated methods to circumvent our defenses and harvest the capabilities of US frontier models," the report reads.
Brian McCulloughHOST
"The campaigns we identified targeted some of Claude's most valuable capabilities, including agentic capabilities and tool use, coding and data analysis, and logical reasoning." Anthropic previously spoke out about distillation attacks in February, even calling out specific labs.

So, co-founder and CEO Hamza Durbas talked his way into a meeting with the company, and instead of talking about his views on robots, asked to visit their factories and warehouses.
speaker_0NARRATOR
He told TechCrunch, We saw how people were working.
speaker_0NARRATOR
We zeroed in on flows we could immediately bring value to.
speaker_0NARRATOR
We showed them that our approach to robotics is different.

While the company bills itself as a maker of general-purpose robots, its strategy is to go task by task toward that goal.

That's all for now.

And the headline, and this is from a piece in TechCrunch, said, CD sales are making an unexpected comeback amid a retro tech boom.
Dan HollowayHOST
So as someone who remembers CDs coming in and being the latest big thing, the idea that they are now a retro tech boom makes me... feel my age.
Dan HollowayHOST
But CDs, it seems, are selling more than they have done in some time.

This one has been a little shocking.
JosephHOST
