In this episode of Talk That Tech, Trey Scott and Tech Coach Ralph break down the growing concern around advanced AI systems after reports about Anthropics powerful new model, Mythos.

Unlike typical AI launches focused on features and performance, this story has sparked conversations at the highest levels of government. With access being restricted and discussions involving national security officials, Mythos represents a shift in how artificial intelligence is being viewed and controlled.

The hosts unpack why this model is raising alarms, what it could potentially be capable of, and why companies are starting to limit access to their most advanced systems. They also explore the bigger questions around power, regulation, and who should be allowed to use highly capable AI.

This episode looks at the tension between innovation and control and what it means as AI moves from a tool into a strategic asset.

In this episode of Talk That Tech, Trey Scott and Joseph Smith break down a major shift in how companies are hiring. Traditional job interviews may be on the way out as more employers turn to work trials, where candidates prove their skills by doing real tasks instead of answering questions.

The hosts explain why companies are making this change, how it reduces hiring risk, and what it means for candidates trying to stand out in a competitive market. They also explore the downsides, including unpaid labor concerns, bias in evaluation, and whether this approach actually creates better long term hires.

This episode looks at how AI, remote work, and skills based hiring are reshaping the job market and what you need to do to stay competitive in a world where showing your work may matter more than talking about it.
