Anthropic built an AI in February that was capable enough that they decided the world wasn't ready for it. They call it Claude Mythos. It scored 97.6% on the US maths olympiad, against Opus 4.6's 42%. That's a different species of capability. And it's sitting in a vault.
Now most of the coverage has been about cyber risk. But to me, a different story landed in the same two weeks. Microsoft Research ran a study of 388 employees. Same tool, same task. One group got standard training. The other got thirty minutes on AI mindset and literacy. Standard: 47% top-quality output. Mindset: 77%. A thirty-point gap, from thirty minutes.
So this week's video essay stitches those two stories together. I walk through why AI capability has stopped being your bottleneck, and what closing that thirty-point gap actually requires from senior leaders. Three practical things. None of them delegate easily to your IT training vendor.
