Claude Mythos Preview found thousands of zero-day exploits in every major operating system and web browser...
The numbers are hard to believe:
$50 to find a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD, one of the most security-hardened operating systems ever built
Under $1,000 to find AND build a fully working remote code execution exploit on FreeBSD that grants unauthenticated root access from anywhere on the internet
Under $2,000 to chain together multiple Linux kernel vulnerabilities into a complete privilege escalation exploit
For context: these are the kinds of findings that previously required elite security researchers working for weeks.
Anthropic engineers with no formal security training asked Mythos to find exploits overnight. They woke up to working code the next morning.
The results were so impressive Anthropic assembled Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, and seven other organizations into Project Glasswing:
A $100M defensive coalition. They're not releasing this model publicly. Instead, they're racing to patch the world's infrastructure before models like this proliferate.
If you haven't set this presentation yet from Unprompted, it was required viewing for my team
Tldr, everything is pwned
Hard to take them seriously when AI fear porn is their fundraiser strategy... Serious boy that cried wolf with them.
Not saying it's nothing. Just ALWAYS take them with a heavy dose of salt.
Indeed, can't deny they've found OS vulns that have been hidden for 20+ years though
I think it's more important to recognize they won't be the only ones, software is in for a rough couple years
I use Claude Code everyday. It's really good and I have no doubt it will get better. I just tire of their little gambit.
also: #1466996
Irony here that SN could use AI to warn against dupes but that would cost tokens and reduce revenues
shows up #1 in
related(also it's not a dupe per se - just there's another earlier thread on this too.)This is fine. Right., right?
Yea everything is backdoored anyway
