alt Hacker NewsYes, it's a losing strategy; no one else is going to do this. They are inviting parties to partner with them, so it's not totally in conflict, but yeah I'm sure there's genuine concern coming out of Anthropic, but I also think as this point they've likely culturally internalized "Dangerous [think: powerful] AI" as a brand narrative.
"The Beware of Mythos!" reads to me as standard Anthropic/Dario copy. Is it more true now than it was before? Sure. Is now the moment that the world's digital infrastructure succumbs to waves of hackers using countless exploits; I doubt it.

I am not into cybersecurity but the existing "technical debt" in terms of security has been barely exploited.
The issue is that literally all software has some vulnerability, want it or not. And these LLMs are like brute forcing all possibilities faster than a human can do. Sometimes humans even ignore low security issues, while maybe these LLMs are capable to build exploits on top of multiple ones.
For me they understood the moat - cybersecurity is such a trivial space to get into, I guess they are investing heavily on that because as someone else mentioned in other threads, it's obvious they are too limited for other tasks.
Becoming a "mandatory" (SOC-2 etc, things like that) integrated part of your CI/CD pipeline would be a huge win for them. Imagine that.
