In this episode of Beyond the Build, we break down Anthropic’s latest AI misuse report and look at how bad actors are already using AI for scams, surveillance, cyber operations, influence campaigns, telecom data scraping, and other real-world attacks.

We also discuss the growing AI arms race between companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and other major labs. AI companies are warning about models becoming harder to supervise while simultaneously investing billions to build more capable systems. Can any company realistically slow down if everyone else keeps racing ahead?

We also get into a new security problem emerging around AI coding agents and plugins. As developers give tools like Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini CLI more access to repositories, terminals, APIs, and credentials, supply-chain attacks become significantly more dangerous.

Then we debate what code review should look like in the age of AI. If AI can generate code faster than humans can read it, should every line still be reviewed? Or does code review become less about catching bugs and more about making sure engineers still understand the systems they are building?

We also cover AWS infrastructure failures during geopolitical conflict, Windows 11 updates breaking hardware, OpenAI’s IPO plans, digital ownership, and what happens when the software and infrastructure we depend on become increasingly automated.
