ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Anthropic just gave corporate IT a tattletale button for Claude — and it's being sold as a productivity feature. Jess and Jake break down Claude's new enterprise 'smart reports,' which let managers see team-wide prompts, spend, and even flag 'personal or off-topic' usage — and why turning this on without legal, HR, and privacy involved is an instant liability trap (Title VII protected classes, EU employee-monitoring law, minimum-group-size de-anonymization problems, and the Accenture $29/month token-budget story that kicked off the whole AI-spend reckoning). Then: a real surge in cyberattacks hitting Japanese organizations — a 44-agent automated hacking campaign, Trend Micro's numbers (19 orgs hit, 16 in Japan), El Kentaro's incident-tracking dashboard, and a theory about Japan's older median age as a contributing factor.
Did we make you smarter? Tell a friend. Did we make you mad? Tell Anthropic.
