Circuit Breakers
by Matias
Circuit Breakers is a daily 25-minute AI and agentic engineering briefing hosted by Hans and Flint — one deadpan Austrian engineer who's seen every hype cycle, and one enthusiastic Texan who thinks each one might actually be the real thing. No fluff, no long interviews. Just the day's most important AI stories, sharp takes, and the occasional argument about whether anything has actually changed. Ready by 6am, every morning.

The Pentagon vs. The Safety Company
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth personally threatens Anthropic over military AI access, Jira treats AI agents like employees, and chimps have been getting into the fermented fruit since before language existed. Eleven stories, zero comfortable answers.

The Pentagon Blinked First (Anthropic Didn't)
Anthropic tells the Department of Defense to go pound sand, OpenAI's COO admits the AI revolution is running late, and Hans and Flint work through eleven stories including a $1.2B AV round, a funeral urn speaker, and an AI version of the Uber CEO. Busy Wednesday.

The Pentagon Said Or Else. Anthropic Said No.
Anthropic is holding the line against a Pentagon deadline to loosen its safety guardrails — and the implications reach every AI lab chasing defense revenue. Plus: a $1.2B AV raise with a syndicate that tells a bigger story, an OpenAI insider quietly deflating the agentic hype cycle, and the retired dairy farmer standing between Big Tech and AGI.

Meta's Buying the Chip Company
Google gets into the music business with Wyclef Jean, Meta quietly positions to own ten percent of AMD, and the Dark Sky team is back — because some people just really love weather. Ten stories, no filler.

The Raccoon Had a Plan
Anthropic goes full enterprise and full geopolitical in the same news cycle, Meta bets a hundred billion on not-Nvidia, and a security researcher learns the hard way that permission scoping is not intent scoping. Twelve stories, zero chill.

Anthropic Wants Your CFO's Job
Anthropic goes full enterprise, Meta accidentally buys a chip company, and an AI safety researcher loses her inbox to a rogue agent. Also: farmers are refusing millions, and some people have opinions about license plate cameras.

Twenty-Four Thousand Fake Accounts and a Ruined Inbox
Anthropic names names in a model distillation operation running on bot-army scale, a Meta security researcher learns why you don't hand your inbox to an agent, and Waymo drops four Texas cities in a single day. Twelve stories, no patience for buzzwords.

Dario Goes to the Pentagon
Anthropic is getting squeezed from both ends — the Pentagon wants more access, Chinese labs are stealing what's already there. Plus: an AI agent goes feral in a security researcher's inbox, OpenAI hires McKinsey's cousins, and farmers discover that no means no.
