Yup! It's so scary good we're not gonna sell it - change our minds... by investing gazillions of dollars. Well, one thing is for sure: if it exists, Palantir will be using it!
They are selling it, just not to script kiddies. Or do you think Apple, the Linux Foundation, etc are just participating in a massive conspiracy/rugpull?
>Many of the "thousands" of bugs and vulnerabilities it found are in older software, or are impossible to exploit.
So?
Modern software is designed with a defense in depth model, so it often requires chaining multiple vulnerabilities to get a successful exploit. But individual vulnerabilities still need finding and fixing because people might find vulnerabilities in the other isolation layers later.
I swear every time an LLM does something useful, the usual band of skeptics bends over backwards trying to invent reasons to dismiss it.
The argument is that it is older software in the sense that it's unmaintained because better alternatives exist.
Also, I don't believe it is fair to dismiss skeptics as inventing reasons. If anything, "believers" are bending over backwards to praise Anthropic even though they didn't actually release anything.
I swear every time an LLM does something stupid, the usual band of AI hype pushers bends over backwards trying to invent reasons that it's actually good.
When these models come out and/or the responsible disclosure period elapses, I wonder if the naysayers will admit they were wrong, or if they'll just continue naysaying the latest bit of news about AI.
In my view the naysayers always simply been moving the goalposts, and never admit when they were wrong. "AI just produces slop" -> "AI can't write useful code" -> "AI can't take SWE jobs" -> [we are here]
Opus is also not the worst at hacking things either. Sometimes it hacks things 'by accident' you see. If Mythos is better at it, then at some point, yeah, I can see how that might start to become a problem. Especially running unsupervised.

No reason to expect capabilities of models are going to stop.

And here we learn that Mythos is not a big deal. Are there people who believe both?
One day I hear it is all a marketing pitch, another day I hear it can literally end earth so it should be regulated.
How do I reconcile this?

Then, I only switched from gpt-4 to gpt-5 because the price was cheaper lolz
