Mythos: are fears over new AI model panic or PR? – podcast
Summary
AI company Anthropic announced it created a powerful model called Mythos Preview that can find and exploit software vulnerabilities (weaknesses that attackers could use), and decided not to release it publicly due to concerns about risks to economy, safety, and national security. However, some experts question whether the model is actually as capable as Anthropic claims, and the decision raises questions about whether this move is genuine responsibility or a publicity strategy.
