> I thought Mythos was just a bunch of hype?

My opinion is that it is over-hyped because like any LLM, it requires a suitable human in the loop to keep the LLM on the straight and narrow, and then to weed through the inevitable false-positives and hallucinations.

Nicholas Carlini, for example, whose name is on many of the recent high-profile Mythos findings is not just some random dude with a Claude sub on his credit card .... he's an experienced security researcher.

Random inexperienced people thinking Mythos can replace the need for experienced pen-testers, auditors etc. are likely to be sorely disappointed if/when they get their hands on Mythos.
