Good Morning Mr.(). This is Dr. Ali. I am part of the team of doctors taking care of you today. How are you feeling today?
July 17, 2026, 7:40 AM CDT.
Just putting it here for the record.
Feels unreal, still.
Dear Microsoft, when I hit the Windows Start menu key and start typing a word to autocomplete a search, I never, ever, EVER want it to return results of something not on my computer. Ever. Like, ever, ever, never.
So you know the company that makes Claude, the AI you’ve probably used?
They just built something so dangerous they refuse to release it to the public.
It is called Claude Mythos, and here is the insane part:
Anthropic did not train it to be a hacking tool, the capabilities just appeared on their own as a byproduct of making it smarter.
They looked at what it could do and said we cannot let anyone have this.
What can it do?
It found thousands of previously unknown security vulnerabilities in every major operating system and every major web browser.
Including a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD, one of the most secure operating systems ever built, that the entire global security community missed for nearly three decades.
An Anthropic engineer with zero security training asked it to find a remote code execution vulnerability before going to bed, woke up the next morning and had a complete working exploit waiting.
Over 99% of the vulnerabilities it found were still unpatched at the time of the breach.
So instead of releasing it, Anthropic gave access to 40 companies including Apple, Google, Microsoft, and JPMorgan under Project Glasswing, backed by $100 million in usage credits.
The idea being: let defenders use it before attackers get something similar.
Then unauthorized users got in anyway, on the exact same day it was announced, exploiting a contractor's credentials and making educated guesses about the model's location.
The U.S. Treasury Secretary called an emergency meeting with Goldman Sachs, Citi, and other big banks specifically because of Mythos.
Mozilla used it to find and patch 271 Firefox vulnerabilities in weeks.
The UK's AI Security Institute confirmed it is the first AI model to complete a simulated full network takeover.
And OpenAI announced a similar model just one week later.
We are in a completely different era with this stuff and most people have no idea.

I have deep respect for the Krebs cycle, the Golgi apparatus and the structure of tRNA but honestly these things belong more on a college biochem or cell bio test than on Step exams to determine whether to license a doctor to practice medicine in the US. I’d much rather have future physicians memorizing the five major social determinants of health or the nutrition content of common foods.
Hi, congratulations to everyone who matched this year. Unfortunately I couldn't match this year. It was my second Match cycle and I got 5 Interviews. I know this is not the end and I don't want it to be. I would really appreciate some advice regarding what I should do next.
If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology.
Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.
Perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it
Those who, like you (harry), have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well

HP & the Deathly Hallows
I interviewed Mark Carney for a job.
It was 2021. We were looking to bring in a board member or executive who could help us think about entrepreneurship in the context of the global economy.
I was asked to interview a guy named Mark. I Googled him. He had a decent CV.
In our call after brief introductions, he jumped straight in and said, “I see on Strava that you’re a runner and you live in...” It threw me off a bit. He had clearly done his homework. Borderline stalking. We talked about running for a while. He was good at small talk. He casually mentioned that he runs marathons now and then.
Mental note: he does his homework. Also, is he distracting me so I do not get to my questions? I started worrying he would try to schmooze me instead of getting into anything substantive.
In my defence, I had done some homework too. I had not stalked him on social media, but I had read several articles he had written. I learned that he leaned strongly globalist and believed that most of our challenges do not respect borders and will only be solved collaboratively.
I wanted to see if he could argue against his own position. More specifically, I asked when countries should invest in self-reliance. For context, I explained how, in software, we have learned that purely centralized systems fail in obvious ways. But overly distributed systems fail too, when small issues propagate across too many dependencies.
I asked whether societies behave the same way. Are we sometimes too decentralized? When should countries accept less efficiency and invest in more centralization or self-reliance?
He smiled. I could not tell whether he thought the question was childish or whether I had annoyed him. Then he broke the silence and said, “This is a great parallel. Give me a second to think about it.”
We ended up having a great conversation. That said, it took him a lot of words to make his point. Professional talker.
He liked the exercise. I could tell he had spent so long defending global collaboration that he had not fully prepared for this angle. I did not know it at the time, but he was in the middle of writing Value(s), which is essentially an ode to global cooperation.
We went over time. It did not faze him. He cared about finishing the discussion. At that point he was improvising, and it felt natural and fun. It was a genuinely thoughtful discussion. I learned a lot.
In the end, he did not join us. But we all wanted him to.
When I see him in his current gig, a small part of me laughs that I might have helped warm him up.
The more I think about that conversation, the clearer it becomes that he probably did not want his current Prime Minister role. Not in the way people want promotions or titles. Some people spend a lifetime preparing for problems they hope never arrive. When the moment shows up anyway, they step in. Not because it is appealing, but because it is necessary.
This just happened to be his moment.
The new split view feature in @googlechrome is the best thing ever.
Can’t believe such an essential feature was lacking.
Someone over at @Google deserves a raise!

Please donate

So far central APPNA have raised $115,000 in 700 donations. This averages $165 per person. This just shows that you don't have make huge contributions. With smaller contributions, we will hit target.
Can we make another 700 donations?
APPNA BOD and SWDRC are writing to you all to request your generosity in donating money for a young physician suffering from acute liver failure currently admitted in a hospital in New Jersey. She came for observership.
Plz donate using above link.
