Anthropic's Mythos AI sparks alarm

The artificial intelligence community is reeling from the revelation of Anthropic's Mythos model, which demonstrates a terrifying ability to find and exploit software vulnerabilities with unprecedented speed.

While the company claims the model could eventually be used to improve global cybersecurity, critics argue that such power is too dangerous to exist in private hands.

The situation was further complicated by a humiliating data breach where a small group of unauthorized users reportedly gained access to the model's capabilities.

As Anthropic's valuation approaches $1 trillion, the debate over AI safety versus rapid innovation has reached a fever pitch in Washington and Silicon Valley.
