Episode Details

Two fronts are breaking at once. On AI: Anthropic’s Pentagon fight escalates as enterprise AI agents show real-world leak paths—from Copilot exposing email content to prompt injection risks in coding tools. On trade: tariffs keep ricocheting into allies, Europe moves toward “Made in Europe,” and China retaliates against Japan with export curbs tied to rare-earth leverage.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

- Why Anthropic’s Pentagon standoff is an existential test of “safety limits” in AI

- Why Anthropic vs OpenAI rivalry is escalating ahead of IPO season

- How Meta & Big Tech’s election-cycle spending is shaping state-level AI rules—and why data centers and power pricing are part of the fight

- What Utah’s HB 286 signals about where “serious” AI oversight might actually come from

- Why AI agents are structurally an insider-risk problem

- How Section 122 tariffs create short-term whiplash and long-term legal exposure (and why stability isn’t coming soon)

- Why tariff policy can end up helping adversaries while raising costs for allies

- What Europe’s “Made in Europe” push is trying to do—and why the internal EU fight matters

- Why China’s export curbs on Japan are a preview of the next phase of rare-earth leverage
