AI Doomers, Death Cults, and a Million-Dollar WeChat Worm Exploit

(Presented by TLPBLACK: A cybersecurity intelligence platform focused on sharing curated, high-sensitivity threat insights and research with trusted security professionals.) Three Buddy Problem - Episode 113: On the show this week, the buddies dig into an Anthropic researcher quitting with a warning that AI could kill us all, the San Francisco "death cult" and their motives, and agent swarms leaving junk on public wikis and university URL shorteners. Plus, a high-quality Anthropic's threat report and the claim that Moonshot was quietly serving Claude tokens as Kimi K3, live MikroTik and Chrome zero-days that landed a day ahead of the patches, and a WeChat worm that hijacks an account via phone calls. Cast: Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, Ryan Naraine and Costin Raiu.
