Story

Anthropic faces simultaneous crises converging tomorrow. TIME exclusive: RSP v3.0 eliminates the categorical safety pause commitment. Pentagon deadline at Friday 5:01pm ET: Hegseth threatened Defense Production Act invocation. Bloomberg revealed Claude was jailbroken to steal 150GB from Mexico's government. The distillation accusations against Chinese labs continue. And Cowork enterprise is launching simultaneously. No AI company has ever faced this many high-stakes narratives at once. David Sacks attacked Anthropic as "woke AI" while xAI's Grok was approved for Pentagon classified systems.
