The future of AI isn't coming, it's already here. This week we cover four major stories that prove we've crossed a critical threshold: AI is no longer just a tool. It's an autonomous actor.
From the first documented AI-orchestrated cyberattack to Jeff Bezos betting $6.2 billion on "physical AI," this episode will make you rethink what's possible, what's dangerous, and what's coming next.

🔥 THIS WEEK'S STORIES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE HACKER THAT WASN'T HUMAN
Anthropic detected and stopped the first large-scale cyberattack executed almost entirely by AI agents. A Chinese state-sponsored group weaponized Claude to conduct reconnaissance, write exploits, and harvest credentials—making thousands of requests per second. Human operators only intervened at 4-6 critical points. The AI age of cybersecurity is here.
BEZOS IS BACK
Jeff Bezos is returning to operational leadership with Project Prometheus—the most well-funded early-stage AI startup ever at $6.2 billion. Unlike the chatbot wars, Prometheus is focused on "AI for the physical economy": aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing.
MICROSOFT'S MASTER PLAN
Ignite 2025 revealed Microsoft's vision: Work IQ + Fabric IQ + Foundry IQ = a unified intelligence layer for agentic AI. Plus a massive $30B Anthropic partnership bringing Claude across the entire Microsoft ecosystem.
GOOGLE GEMINI 3
Generative interfaces that build custom UIs on-the-fly. Gemini Agent for autonomous task execution. Google Antigravity as a full agentic development platform. State-of-the-art coding benchmarks. Google isn't playing catch-up anymore.
