Former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who publicly resigned from Anthropic yesterday with a stark warning about AI safety, was interviewed by Anderson Cooper on his show this evening.
Some of you don't know what it was like to be an adult in 2001 knowing that this was an op, seeing even your friends and family think that you're becoming paranoid and watching anyone with real knowledge who spoke up being ridiculed, pilloried, fired, and driven to suicide.
This clip from one of his sleep stream is fucking incredible. His chat could donate money to play videos and some absolute genius donated to play his own livestream back at him and opened a direct portal to hell
I just went through Anthropic’s threat report & woah!
This is genuinely the craziest article I’ve read all month.
They documented hackers, governments, scammers and Chinese AI labs all using Claude in completely different ways.
& some of the cases are insane.
Here’s a TLDR;
⟣ A suspected Russian state linked group used Claude across phishing, intrusion, data theft and malware development, including rebuilding malware after security products detected it.
According to the article, more than 20 organizations were targeted.
⟣ ShinyHunters-linked hackers used AI agents to scan 1.8M Android apps for exposed secrets and help run breaches across multiple companies.
Anthropic says the agents did nearly all the work in some operations.
⟣ A China-based group built an automated exploit setup that could research vulnerabilities, build offensive tools and keep working against targets with little to no supervision.
⟣ Claude was also being used for government surveillance.
One consultant used it to build Lakana 360 for Mali’s intelligence service, a system designed to monitor roughly 25M SIM cards across the country, including calls, messages, voice interception, watchlists and automated intelligence dossiers.
The finished system runs locally, so even if anthropic bans the account, it won’t shut it down.
⟣ Anthropic found Claude being used across six weapons programs.
One Yemen-based group used multiple Claude Code instances while working on guided rockets, ballistic missiles and a hypersonic-glide project.
They actually tested one of the rockets, it failed, and they returned to Claude afterwards to diagnose the problem.
⟣ A Russia-based team was working on autonomous FPV kamikaze drones capable of identifying target classes, including humans, and approving lethal engagement without a human making the final call.
⟣ One China-linked project built electronic-warfare and air-defense suppression systems, then later changed its scenario to 12 targets in Taiwan, including radar sites, air bases and command infrastructure.
⟣ Anthropic found multiple influence operations too, including fake news networks, fake political accounts, propaganda operations and systems built to copy the writing style of real people.
⟣ Then there’s this fucking dating operation.
More than 20 dating apps.
> 4,700+ AI personas.
> 25,000+ people talking to them.
> Around 2.36M Claude messages in two weeks.
And when someone wanted a video call or social follow, real gig workers could step in to make the fake profile look legit.
⟣ Then Anthropic gets into distillation.
They say they’ve now caught campaigns from Alibaba, Moonshot, DeepSeek, https://t.co/ld9O2bPADg, Xiaomi, SenseTime and MiniMax.
Alibaba alone allegedly ran 151M+ Claude exchanges between May and July, peaking at almost 3M per day.
(I just wrote a piece on distillation before this)
> Moonshot: 23M+.
> DeepSeek: 12.1M+ in 14 days.
And this is where it gets messy.
Anthropic says Moonshot and DeepSeek were sometimes routing requests from their own users through Claude without telling them.
Those requests included internal company documents, source code, live credentials, surveillance data and other sensitive information.
⟣ Some labs were also actively trying to extract Claude’s hidden reasoning.
Anthropic says one lab tested 12,000+ different requests, each trying a different method, until it found techniques that worked and scaled them up.
That’s the TLDR.
Got me feeling like 👇
People who spend long periods of time at home and slowly lose the desire to go outside often think they're just resting. But psychologically, many of them are experiencing something called mental rumination. It's a state where the brain starts slowing down while the number of thoughts inside keeps increasing and the motivation to do anything slowly disappears. The mind gets stuck in the past, worries about the future and burns itself out. This isn't laziness, it's a nervous system stuck in survival mode. And the longer it lasts, the more distant normal life begins to feel. And the difficult part is that you usually can't escape it through one massive burst of motivation. And sometimes,recovery starts with just one small step.
elvis recorded more than 711 songs, but only 18 became global hits. thomas edison registered more than 1,100 patents, but people only remember one.
lionel messi has taken over 4,520 shots and only scored 859.
walt disney was rejected 302 times because of a lack of creativity before he got mickey mouse financed. van gogh made more than 2,100 paintings, died poor, and most people can't name more than 10.
james dyson built 5,127 prototypes and only 1 changed his life.
and you're giving up cos you haven't got what you want after trying what? twice? or maybe just 10 times? look, and at the end of the day, you don't have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great.
a winner is just a loser that tried one more time and that's just it. winners lose more than losers even try.
this is literally why AI was invented btw. to distort the facts, create false realities and make everyone disoriented and unable to trust anything that they see, to make them more susceptible to extremism. illustrated right here
"Did you test this powder?"
"No."
"So how do you know what it was,"
"The husband said."
"Did you hear her confess?'
"No."
"So why arrest her?"
"The husband said."
"Did you do a thorough investigation of the events, the place, the evidence?"
"No."
"So why are you convicting her?"
"The husband said."
"Does she remember doing this?"
"No."
"Why does she say she did?"
"The husband told her she did."
Are you seeing a pattern here???
This confirms:
- Drug Trafficking is not stopped because they dont want to
- Serial Killers are not stopped because they dont want to
- Child kidnapping are not stopped because they dont want to.
WESTERN RAILWAY MUMBAI SUBURBAN TIMETABLE FROM 1st SEPTEMBER!
Western Railway’s new Suburban Timetable No. 79 is all about smarter deployment of the existing 1,414 services — improving connectivity where passengers need it most, while tackling congestion and operational bottlenecks.
🔹 SAME 1,414 TRAINS — BUT A MUCH SMARTER TIMETABLE!
The total number of suburban services remains unchanged at 1,414. Instead of simply adding trains, Western Railway has rationalised the timetable based on passenger demand, operating conditions and congestion points.
Six new services are being introduced, while six existing low-demand/mainly non-peak services are being withdrawn, allowing train paths and resources to be redeployed more effectively.
🔹 BORIVALI CONGESTION TO BE TACKLED — WITHOUT CUTTING OFF BORIVALI!
One of the most important changes is aimed at tackling the peak-hour congestion at Borivali, which can lead to heavy door crowding, prolonged boarding/alighting and detention of trains.
Two evening Churchgate–Virar services — the 18:22 AC service and 19:05 service — will skip their Borivali halt on a trial basis.
But importantly, passenger convenience is being ensured. For passengers travelling to Borivali on the 18:22 AC service, another AC local departs Churchgate just after 6 min at 18:28 hrs which halts at Borivali.
So the idea is simple: decongest the choke point while continuing to provide passengers with options.
🔹 DAHISAR CONTINUES TO GET PRIORITY — HALTS RETAINED!
A particularly significant aspect is that while selected peak-hour services will skip Borivali to ease congestion, their Dahisar halts are being retained.
This is an important indication of the growing operational importance of Dahisar as a passenger hub on the Western suburban corridor.
With Borivali already functioning as a major suburban hub, retaining the Dahisar halt provides passengers with another important access point and helps distribute passenger loads across the corridor rather than concentrating everything at Borivali.
In other words: decongest Borivali, while strengthening the importance of Dahisar.
🔹 2 MORE AC LOCALS — WITHOUT INCREASING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TRAINS!
A major passenger benefit: weekday AC services increase from 145 to 147.
Two existing non-AC services are being converted into AC services:
➡️ Churchgate–Borivali: 17:28 hrs
➡️ Borivali–Churchgate: 18:24 hrs
Both retain their existing routes and timings.
This means more AC capacity without increasing the overall 1,414-service count.
🔹 DAHANU ROAD PASSENGERS GET A BOOST!
For passengers from the extended suburban belt, there is a major improvement.
The existing Dadar–Virar and Virar–Dahanu Road services are being integrated to provide direct Dadar–Dahanu Road connectivity.
The revised service will depart Dadar at 17:22 hrs and reach Dahanu Road at 19:30 hrs.
🔹 VIRAR–CHURCHGATE MORNING CONNECTIVITY GETS A BIG BOOST!
After converting the 07:59 Virar- Churchgate service into AC service, the non AC passengers wanted a service due to the gap of non ac services towards Churchgate. The 08:23 hrs Virar–Dadar service is being extended all the way to Churchgate. It will reach Churchgate at 09:48 hrs, giving morning commuters from the extended suburban corridor direct connectivity towards Churchgate.
🔹 LATE-NIGHT COMMUTERS GET MORE OPTIONS! 🌙
The new timetable adds services during late evening and night hours, particularly in the Borivali–Bhayandar–Virar corridor.
New services include:
➡️ Bhayandar–Virar: 07:46 hrs
➡️ Borivali–Bhayandar: 22:14 hrs
➡️ Borivali–Virar: 22:51 hrs
➡️ Virar–Borivali: 23:51 hrs
➡️ Borivali–Bhayandar: 00:28 hrs
These services address passenger requirements beyond the main peak periods and strengthen late-night connectivity.
Metro Line 13: A new era of connectivity for the MMR
The Maharashtra Cabinet Infrastructure Committee has recently approved the ₹17,724.99 crore Metro Line 13 project, to be implemented by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
The 25.03-km corridor will pass through Thane and Palghar districts, with 21.78 km elevated and 3.25 km underground, and will have 16 stations — 13 elevated and 3 underground.
A key feature of the project will be the proposed 4.92-km integrated six-lane road and Metro bridge across Vasai Creek, creating a new direct connection between the two regions and eliminating the existing road detour of around 32 km.
Metro Line 13 will connect Mira Road, Vasai, Naigaon, Nalasopara and Virar, with interchange connectivity to suburban railway stations at Naigaon, Nalasopara and Virar. A proposed connection with Metro Line 9 at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Stadium, along with bus connectivity at all stations, will further strengthen multimodal mobility. A Metro depot is proposed at Chikhal Dongri.
