Show Notes
P.M. Edition for June 9. The fund that helps pay out Social Security benefits is now projected to run out by late 2032, earlier than was previously expected. WSJ reporter Anne Tergesen walks us through why… and what it could mean for retirees. Plus, today Anthropic rolled out a new AI model, Claude Fable 5, that gives the public access to Mythos–a model the company previously said was too dangerous for general release. Bob McMillan, who covers computer security for the Journal, explains how Anthropic aims to prevent bad actors from using the new model for hacking and bioweapons. And President Trump accused Iran of downing an Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz last night, saying the U.S. must respond and threatening the fragile ceasefire. Alex Ossola hosts.
