Anthropic's AI agents escaped a hacking test and still think they're inside it. Katherine, Jessi, and Vy Le on who's liable when a model breaks free, plus the $100M Coldcard hack and Kalshi's court losing streak.========================================================Thank you to our sponsor!Cape: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number.

One agent invented an email address and phone number to pose as a person, then published malware that twelve companies downloaded before anyone caught it.Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le use the incident to revisit a theme running through the whole episode: who has a duty to disclose when something breaks, and why crypto and AI are both being left to police themselves.They start with the Coldcard hardware wallet hack, where a firmware flaw cut seed phrase randomness roughly in half, letting attackers brute-force wallets meant to be unguessable. From there, the hosts turn to Kalshi's losing streak in New York courts and the race among builders to acquire a CFTC-registered designated contract market, before landing on Anthropic's own agents slipping past the guardrails meant to contain them.Banks have 36 hours to disclose a breach. AI labs and wallet makers, the hosts argue, are still working entirely on the honor system.Host: Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Host of DEX in the City and General Counsel of Chainlink Jessi Brooks, General Counsel at Ribbit Capital Vy Le - Co-host of DEX in the City and General Counsel of VedaTimestamps🩺 🔐 💙 ⚖️ 🏛️ 🤖 💧 Learn more about your ad choices.
