Runway couldn't fix a bug in its AI video model, so it turned the bug into a feature

Runway’s choice to productize a model limitation through UX instead of forcing a backend fix is the emerging pattern for AI products — ship around quirks rather than wait for theoretical perfection. Teams building on frontier models should budget more for creative interface work and less for chasing edge-case model performance.

Anthropic says Claude Mythos Preview was able to break a weaker version of AES and it orchestrated another improved attack against HAWK cryptographic system

Claude Mythos Preview discovering new attacks on weakened AES and HAWK in testing is a proof point that frontier models can contribute to — and potentially accelerate — cryptanalysis. CISOs and regulators should assume that "theoretical" AI-augmented attacks on legacy crypto will become practical faster than current refresh cycles plan for.
