We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date.

It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them.

We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies.

These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve.

We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.

Sending lots of love to the Apple community on my last day as CEO. My title changes tomorrow, but the love I have for the Apple community never will. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration. My gratitude is endless, and I’m excited for the next chapter!

People often don't expect impressive results from simple ideas. But if you pay attention, simple ideas executed with discipline are powerful.

YC friendship is so valuable.

All batchmates have great stories and ideas and this reminds me of how awesome people are.

Be yourself, and keep smiling.

[Luis Mario Garcia @lmariogarcia2]

My biggest regret at @ycombinator?

NOT making friends.

Lessons as a 2x YC founder:

1) During my first batch (W20), we spent 16 hours a day writing code, building product, talking to users and doing whatever we could to make progress.

2) We felt like we didn’t deserve it (impostor syndrome) so we worked 24/7 to catchup.

3) Reality #1: You are part of the top 1%. Partners invest in outliers with exceptional backgrounds. You will become the best version of yourself.

4) Reality #2: The company won’t fail because you spend 3 hours on a Saturday night meeting smart founders from around the world.

5) Reality #3: This journey is a marathon, and having friends that are going through the same pains for the next 10+ years is crucial.

6) You should not go through this alone. Because you are not. 🙌🏻

….

Before YC S24 started I took the initiative to invite my batch-mates to meet up. It was a great way to deeply connect.

Let’s see how many come to my wedding. Stay tuned.

@garrytan When motivation disappears, discipline comes to the rescue.

Remember the impressive Google demo of AI phone calls that literally never shipped?

Shaun was on the team at Google that made that, and he left to actually bring it to the people

Real artists ship 🫡

Untold stories about being a founder, there are so many things will hurt you. But your mission and your friendships will keep you going.
