Anthropic investigates AI-powered cyber incidents as Google chases Gemini on desktop

Anthropic just released a report on how it handles AI-powered cyber incidents — the kind of threats that show up in primos' WhatsApp groups, the kind that make la gente lose money. They're tracking how bad actors are using AI models to craft phishing, automate attacks, and probe systems. The company's also publishing its cybersecurity evals, so other teams can see what they're actually testing against.

Meanwhile, Google's trying to close the feature gap on Gemini for desktop. It's the kind of catch-up game we've seen before, where one company ships first, another ships later and claims they did it better. la gente don't care about the engineering — they care whether the tool actually works for what they need.

Why this matters for us: The AI security threats Anthropic is tracking are hitting the communities we serve, and knowing what companies are doing to defend against them is how we stay ahead of the scam that's coming next.
