Chinese state hackers used Anthropic's Claude Code in a massive cyber-espionage campaign, and now Congress wants answers. We break down why this attack is different, it didn't require any hacking at all. Plus, we explore why chip export controls might be backfiring, the revolutionary shift from scaling to experience-based AI learning, and why xAI playing League of Legends could signal a major capability breakthrough. We connect the dots between geopolitical competition, technical infrastructure, AI memory systems, and what it all means for the future of work and security. This isn't about distant possibilities; these changes are happening right now.
