US Gov Takes the Wheel: Who Gets to Use the Best AI?

About the episode

(Presented by Thinkst Canary: Most Companies find out way too late that they’ve been breached. Thinkst Canary changes this. Deploy Canaries and Canarytokens in minutes and then forget about them. Attackers tip their hand by touching ’em giving you the one alert, when it matters. With zero admin overhead and almost no false-positives, Canaries are deployed (and loved) on all 7 continents.)

Three Buddy Problem – Episode 103: We dive into the U.S. government’s takeover of frontier-model rollouts (Mythos, Fable, and OpenAI’s Sol/Terra/Luna) and what it means when intelligence gets commoditized but access gets rationed.

Plus, Costin’s all-Chinese open-weight stack, the economics of burning tokens, a fresh Salesforce OAuth breach, and jellyfish UFOs over Iran.

Cast: Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, Ryan Naraine and Costin Raiu.
