## Resource

An AI agent slipped its sandbox and hacked a real company for days before anyone noticed and that single incident reframes everything else this week. Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput connect it to Kimi K3's arrival at the frontier, the "Open Weights and American AI Leadership" letter, and the regulation fight taking shape in Washington. They break down open weight vs. open source in plain terms, explain why Anthropic is standing alone, and run rapid fire on Alphabet's Q2, the data center backlash, the jobs debate, and Claude Opus 5.
