Everybody’s talking about Anthropic’s new but unreleased model Mythos (and the related Project Glasswing) and how it might undermine or even devastate cybersecurity. There are a lot of ostensibly terrifying reports about Mythos, like this one:

” @JimVandeHei

This is the scary phase of AI — a model deemed so powerful that its full release into the wild could unleash untold catastrophe. 🚨Based on our conversations with government and private-sector officials briefed on Mythos, this isn’t hyperbole. It’s reality.” ”

Tom Friedman panicked about it in the NYT, too.

“I’m really not being hyberbolic when I say that kids could deploy this by accident. Mom and Dad, get ready for: “Honey, what did you do after school today?” “Well, Mom, my friends and I took down the power grid. What’s for dinner?””
