Why the conviction moved

• Sep 14
  Strengthened +3

  Anthropic disclosed disrupting Claude misuse across seven harm categories over nine months, spanning influence, fraud and intrusion-adjacent operations. Lab-side enforcement telemetry, rather than victim reporting, is becoming the primary public record of agentic offensive activity — which means the observed volume tracks detection capacity, not the underlying rate.

• Sep 13
  Strengthened +5

  Anthropic's threat report documents a Russia-linked group using Claude Code to build autonomous drone targeting software, alongside industrial-scale automated persona operations. This extends agentic misuse past intrusion tradecraft into autonomous kinetic targeting built by a coding agent, widening the harm surface the thesis tracks.
