US Treasury and Fed warn banks of cyber‑risk from Anthropic’s Claude Mythos AI
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Fed Chair Jerome Powell convened senior leaders from Bank of America, Citi and Wells Fargo to flag the cyber‑risk posed by Anthropic’s new Claude Mythos Preview, which can automatically uncover software vulnerabilities that human developers miss. Canadian officials and major lenders held a parallel meeting to discuss mitigation strategies.

BrightEdge research finds Google’s AI Overviews generate 44% more overall negative brand sentiment than OpenAI’s ChatGPT, yet ChatGPT concentrates criticism 13 times more heavily when shoppers are near purchase. Negative mentions appear in roughly 2.3% of Google AI queries and 1.6% of ChatGPT queries, translating to millions of consumers each month. The two engines draw from distinct data pools—Google leans toward news‑driven controversy while ChatGPT reflects product reviews and forum discussions—leading to divergent brand portrayals. Optimizing content for only one AI platform leaves 73% of overlapping negative prompts unaddressed.

Has Claude Code obliterated a Shopify store yet? It's only a matter of time. There are enough merchants saying "oh yeah Claude just built me a Shopify MCP to control my store" and have no idea of the risk.
Claude moving into code review is interesting. But letting the same AI generate your code AND review it feels like removing the separation between author and auditor. Generation optimizes for fluency. Review should optimize for catching mistakes. Those are not the same system.
