Summary

Three stories exploring the gap between what we believe and what the data shows in AI. Anthropic Mythos / Project Glasswing — An AI model too dangerous to release is now controlled by eleven handpicked organizations and the White House. That is not a safety framework. That is a guest list. OpenAI Acquires TBPN — OpenAI spent hundreds of millions to buy a podcast. It reports to their chief political operative. The sole financial relationship is now OpenAI. When you cannot control the narrative through technology, you buy the megaphone. AI Coding Quality Collapse — Six independent studies converge on the same finding: AI-generated code has more bugs, and developers using it believe they are faster when they are actually 19% slower. The 39-point perception gap is the largest ever documented.
