Government RECALLS AI Code?! The Fall of Fable 5 | #DTF046

The US government just laid down the hammer, officially recalling frontier AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5. In Episode 46 of the DTF Cyber Podcast, Damian, Troy, and Fern dive into the chaos. Did a sophisticated prompt jailbreak a vulnerability-chaining machine into a zero-day weapon? What does this sudden regulation mean for corporate security teams, supply chain resiliency, and the blue team vs. red team arms race? We also pull back the curtain on Anthropic's quiet 30-day data retention policy changes and discuss why the entry-level SOC analyst job might be gone in a year.
