Most Dangerous Anthropic AI Hacked & Big Tech Gives MORE
Anthropic built an AI model so dangerous they refused to sell it. Then someone accessed it anyway. Here's what that means for the AI arms race — and why the capability window just got shorter.
This episode covers Claude Mythos, China's AI distillation strategy, the circular deal structure between Google and Anthropic, Oracle's debt crisis, and why 40% of US data centers are already behind schedule. The money is moving in circles. The infrastructure is breaking.

20:17||Ep. 185Morningstar just cut SpaceX's valuation nearly in half. SpaceX & Elon Musk are undaunted, forcing a fixed price for shares instead of acknowledging real investor demand, or the lack thereof.

07:02||Ep. 180Gas hit $4.56 this Memorial Day weekend and consumer sentiment just dropped to an all-time low.

179. China's Secret $3.3 Trillion Patent Harvest Exposed
10:23||Ep. 179A new landmark study traced $3.3 trillion in Chinese foreign investment across 161,000 companies in 159 countries and what it found about patent harvesting should concern every Western economy.The research, published by the US National Bureau of Economic Research, reveals how Chinese state-owned enterprises and private investors have systematically targeted pre-patent, R&D-intensive firms in North America and Europe since 2012. More than $800 billion of that investment flowed through the Cayman Islands alone, obscuring ownership and bypassing standard foreign direct investment reporting. The strategy traces directly to the Made in China 2015 initiative, which directed Chinese firms to acquire and repatriate foreign intellectual property and the data shows it is working.CHAPTERS00:00 Chinese foreign investment study overview01:43 Scale of Chinese outward investment02:48 Tax havens and Cayman Islands routing03:27 How state-owned enterprises execute acquisitions04:53 Innovation spill back and patent harvesting05:41 Crowding out R&D in peer firms06:03 Made in China 2015 connection06:40 Weaknesses in foreign direct investment measurement07:20 Geopolitical implications and US-China relations08:15 Section 301 investigations and trade rerouting09:26 Fake LLCs and import duty evasionIF YOU LIKED THIS, WATCH:→ US China Secret Cold War Escalates Over AI, Tariffs & More: https://youtu.be/DD3BOZPOHdA → China's $112B US Tariffs Cheat Revealed: https://youtu.be/aA_6BWeKHJM SOURCES & FURTHER READINGChina Trade Strategy and Tariff Evasion Risks* New Research on How Firms May Circumvent Tariffs Through Global Supply Chains: https://www.nber.org/papers/w35106 China State Control and SOE Power* How China Strengthens Communist Party Control Over State Owned Enterprises: https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3045053/china-cements-communist-partys-role-top-its-soes-should * Why China’s State Owned Enterprise Model Shapes Global Competition: https://www.ft.com/content/2b2fab66-16ea-48a7-a4cd-93022d8a13d2 * US State Department Brief on China State Owned Enterprises: https://www.state.gov/report/custom/bf839f4338 * US Library of Congress Brief on China State Owned Enterprises: https://guides.loc.gov/us-trade-with-china/state-owned-enterprises US China Tensions and Strategic Conflict* Official China Readout of US China Talks and Strategic Positioning: https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/eng/wjbzhd/202605/t20260516_11911719.html * Why the US and China Disagree on Strategic Stability and Global Order: https://www.cfr.org/articles/china-and-the-u-s-agreed-to-strategic-stability-in-beijing-they-dont-define-it-the-same-way * Key Outcomes and Hidden Tensions from the Trump Xi Summit Deals: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/us-china-announce-deals-after-trump-xi-summit.html * Inside the Latest US China Negotiations and What Remains Unresolved: https://www.ft.com/content/aed42b42-0ca2-4104-848a-c8bca33fd837?syn-25a6b1a6=1
178. OpenAI Must IPO First At Any Price, Anthropic Dominating AI
11:33||Ep. 178OpenAI just won a major legal battle against Elon Musk, but are they about to lose the IPO race anyway in the hottest year ever for public offerings? The Musk v. OpenAI trial ended in just two hours with a verdict for the defense, but the reputational damage from testimony may matter more than the legal outcome. Sam Altman now faces a House Oversight inquiry over $2 billion in stakes he holds in companies tied to OpenAI, while OpenAI misses targets and the CFO says it's not ready for public markets. Meanwhile, Anthropic just beat OpenAI in crucial metrics for the first time as it cruises towards a successful IPO this year.CHAPTERS00:00 Musk v.
