- Maybe it's marketing, but I think it's regrettable that Anthropic paired project Glasswing with Mythos. It really makes it seem like Mythos is the threat, rather than the fact that tons of vulnerabilities have always been ignored throughout the software world.
If Glasswing has been started years ago with the goal of applying fixes to AI-found gaps, then this would just be another model to add to that effort. But doing so in the ominous shadow of some new super model boosts panic IMO.

- I wonder whether this kind of release of model could become the spark that ignites a new digital "cold war" between us, europe, india and china, in which they will try to outwit their rivals and compromise their critical infrastructure using artificial intelligence.
Also I’d like to believe that this really is such a huge step forward compared to Opus, but lately I’ve found it hard to believe when I look at the statements made by the CEOs of AI companies and their associates, who are fuelling the hype surrounding this topic even further. Of course, it is good that large companies and industries that are crucial to the country are the first to have access to this, but until the launch takes place, I will approach this with a degree of scepticism.
- I'm wondering whether the NSA will be granted access. It's already the largest collection of mathematicians on the planet and now they'd be given tools that could automate a lot of discovery. Or they're panicking that their "old faithful" back door will be patched soon.
- Promoting the model as potentially dangerous might backfire with the government banning it from being released by executive order.

- Sure. Its a meeting with major bank execs AND the fed chair to discuss Anthropics new hype model.
Its definitely NOT, in any way, a meeting to discuss potential systemic risk due to insolvency/bankruptcy at some key AI-related company.
- Tangentially related, but how does one protect themselves against the bank account/brokerage being hacked? Can you print out a proof of funds/securities owned to take to court to be made whole?

- I hope these banks are complaining how Anthropic is preventing them from accessing their latest model and giving preferential treatment to other businesses.
- > A recent leak of Claude’s code prompted the startup to publish a blogpost at the beginning of the month saying that AI models had surpassed “all but the most skilled humans at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities” [...]
I've seen a bunch of people conflate the Claude Code source-map leak with the Mythos story, though not quite as blatantly as here. I'm confident that they are totally unrelated.

- The more I live the more I believe people at the top operated in some sort of cult mentality. The level of gullibleness, temporary lack of critical thinking is only matched by their sociopathy and Machiavellianism.
I'm sure it's a great big model, but the level of hype and dishonesty is something out of Sam Altman's book.
Of course it's because of the upcoming IPO, but that's the end game, for now it's critical to get those private equity guys and bank institutions to believe the gospel and hold the bag, only then the suckers from the secondary markets will be allowed to be suckers too.
- They (Anthropic) really did scare the shit out of them. Didn't they.

- Looks like the marketing worked at least somewhat lol. Such an obvious playbook by now I’m surprised some people here fell for it.
