What Happened

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark confirmed the company briefed the Trump administration about its Mythos AI model, which remains unreleased due to cybersecurity capabilities. Clark stated the government must know about such developments. This occurs despite Anthropic's March lawsuit against the Department of Defense over supply chain risk labeling. Trump officials reportedly encouraged major banks to test Mythos. Clark also discussed AI's employment impact, noting only early graduate employment weakness currently, while disagreeing with CEO Dario Amodei's Depression-era unemployment predictions.
