Upcoming IPO. Announce product is too powerful to release. No connection whatsoever.

> "We also haven't seen any bugs that couldn't have been found by an elite human researcher." In other words, it's like adding an automated security researcher to your team.
This is a really dumb take.
Having a security researcher you can spin up (and therefore an army of researcher you can spin up) is not a nothingburger.
That it hasn’t found a new class of vulnerabilities is little consolation if it can pump out vulnerabilities from known classes.

It was beyond the obvious since the moment they announced it, but I guess people love miracles.

> "Anthropic's marketing message for Mythos was effectively a challenge, not dissimilar to a capture-the-flag exercise, where success includes claims of unauthorized access to Mythos," Tim Mackey, head of risk strategy at supply chain security shop Black Duck, told The Register.

"We also haven't seen any bugs that couldn't have been found by an elite human researcher."
bro this is like the first gen, in two years they will iterate and get better. this is just like first gen video, text and image generation were crap but people saw the potential. i've been involved in natural language processing and TTS and in the span of 1-2 years we have seen some crazy innovation. now you can run really great expressive open source multi-lingual TTS on phones and edge hw like raspberry pi's. they have completely wrecked career prospects of voice actors and translators.
if i was a bad guy, i could spin up a 100 agents and find exploits faster than the number of elite security researchers on the planet could fix it. imagine getting the latest version of apple ios and have a new vulnerability within a few days to a week
