Tom, Kevin, and Scott debate Anthropic's secretive Project Glasswing and its AI model Claude Mythos, questioning whether finding more vulnerabilities without fixing them actually makes the world more secure.

Project Glasswing: When AI Becomes the Ultimate Hacker—and Defender

Play episode

Anthropic has introduced Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative powered by an unreleased AI model called Claude Mythos. This system can identify zero-day vulnerabilities, generate exploits, and even help fix them—often without human input.

But there’s a catch: it’s considered too powerful for public release.

In this episode, we discuss what Project Glasswing is, why it matters, and what it means for the future of cybersecurity, red teaming, and AI-driven threats.

Is this the beginning of AI defending us—or the start of something much harder to control?
