All in all, Anthropic did good when they gave us access to Mythos for a moment. The chicanery with "Fable", the whole safety apparatus, dodging obvious provisions of Trump admin. Good PR for them, but a great wake-up call for the world. This is *roughly* how serious things are.
Many users criticized Anthropic's limited Mythos access as crippled and its safety maneuvers as disingenuous, with some hoping the episode serves as a needed wake-up call on rapid AI progress.
Years upon years of mind-numbing bullshit from OpenAI and Google on their secret basement shoggoths. SVGs from Gemini, 4.5 dumpster fire. People started to suspect that the internal frontier progress is roughly what we see on the API. Nah. There are scary things out there.

@teortaxesTex I think so too
but knowing European leaders... they might watch it on the news on Monday and say "huh, another one of trump" and then continue talking about pension funds, immigration and sustainability
very few people care about this outside of a few nerds
@teortaxesTex gave access to a crippled mythos, but still, it's already terrifying
the next few years are gonna be unrecognizable
@teortaxesTex this is like thanking someone for holding open the door after they yell fire in a crowded theatre
@teortaxesTex I think people are definitely underestimating the current state of affairs. There is no need to imagine anything speculative, just imagine the combination of a Mythos-level base model with the reasoning post-training used in 5.2–5.5 Pro.
@teortaxesTex the access to Mythos might highlight how quickly tech can outpace regulation. it’s a reminder that developers hold responsibility in shaping ethical frameworks alongside innovation. how will this influence future partnerships?
@teortaxesTex hopefully the wake up call works! the government played their card too early
@teortaxesTex Glasswing(mythos) was vetted. government KNEW. government NODDED. so then why did Fable breaking = kill Glasswing? those are two different. things.
