  May 18, 202653 minS0

  <p>On May 14, PwC signed a deal to train 30,000 consultants on Claude. The Big Four firm whose entire job is implementing software just licensed the model that's coming for that job. Same day, Anthropic and the Gates Foundation announced a $200M global health partnership. Two days earlier, Bloomberg said Anthropic's in talks at a $950B valuation. Day before that, Google said Android is no longer an operating system. Call it the week the model providers stopped pretending they only sell models.</p><p>This week on Rogue Agents — three big stories, five quick takes:</p><p>Three Deep Dives:<br> 1. Ant...

  Episode 10: The Round-Trip, Wall Street's New Consultant, and Vertex Dies on a Tuesday

  May 12, 202642 minS0

  On May 5, Anthropic committed to spend $200 billion with Google over the next five years. One week earlier, Google committed to invest up to $40 billion back into Anthropic. Five-to-one. Money out is five times money in. That's not a deal — that's a closed loop. Call it the Round-Trip. A note from Mark: Episode 10 was supposed to ship last week. Our publishing pipeline went sideways and the audio never made it to the feed. There was no Episode 10. There was just silence. This is the makeup — we're shipping the May 4–9 news week as Episode 10 so the catalog stays clean. This week on Rogue...

  Episode 9: The Pentagon Veto, the Azure Divorce, and Wall Street's Anthropic Math

  May 3, 202648 minS0

  On May 1, the Pentagon signed classified-network AI contracts with 8 companies — SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, NVIDIA, Microsoft, AWS, Reflection, Oracle. Anthropic was excluded by name for refusing the lawful-purpose clause. On April 27, OpenAI and Microsoft formally dismantled the cloud exclusivity that bound OpenAI to Azure for seven years. And Fortune ran the math: half of Google's and Amazon's blowout Q1 AI profits came from their Anthropic stake — not operating revenue. Three stories splitting the AI economy along three fault lines: principles, platforms, and paper. Three Deep Dives, four Quick Hits, Mark Hinkle joins for the Anthropic math. 1. The Pentagon Veto — Anthropic's AUP refusa...

  Episode 7: Opus 4.7, Stanford Says 66%, and the Agent Sprawl Nobody's Fixing

  Apr 20, 202630 minS0

  <p>This week on Rogue Agents: Anthropic dropped Claude Opus 4.7 on every major cloud on day one — and quietly used a model called Mythos to find thousands of previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities in every major operating system and browser. Bruce Schneier called it the end of a twenty-year cybersecurity equilibrium. Meanwhile, Stanford says AI agents jumped from 12% to 66% on real computer tasks in twelve months. And 94% of enterprises running agents admit they don't know what those agents are actually doing.</p> <p>Three stories. Four altitudes. Same verdict: the capability is here. The governance gap is bigger than the deployment ga...
