Anthropic's Mythos sparks security alarm

Vice President JD Vance and Treasury Secretary Janet Bessent held a private conference call with the leaders of Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI to discuss the risks posed by Mythos.

The model has demonstrated an unprecedented ability to find security flaws, potentially shifting the balance between cyberattack and defense.

UK regulators, including the Bank of England, are also convening to assess the model's impact on financial infrastructure.

While some industry experts see this as a 'Sputnik moment' for AI, others warn that withholding such tools only delays an inevitable 'Vulnpocalypse' as similar capabilities become widely available.
