Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about the argy-bargy between the Pentagon and AI company Anthropic.

They also discuss the return of Volt Typhoon, the Chinese hacker group prepositioning in critical infrastructure for sabotage in the event of a conflict over Taiwan. The group is still around, even though the US government declared victory against it last July.
