mythos is such a funny way for anthropic to show how they are not serious: first they say it's too dangerous, then they give it to some companies, now it's just gonna be available as b2b saas as any other model

Anthropic played the media like a fiddle.

From “untold catastrophe” to “check our latest model”, in two months and a day 🙄

@tekbog I could tell instantly it was marketing because if it were real the government would just classify it as a national security thing and we'd have infinite digital supremacy yet my CSO of a 14000 person company told me yesterday how it's going to "seriously change things"

@GaryMarcus @tomfriedman Selling people tokens for lawful tasks that you’re deliberately giving the wrong answer to (not just refusals) is really a new ethical low for the “ethical” AI company.

@tekbog The game is not safety, it’s not even enterprise sales

The game is adding Aella to the polycule.

@tekbog FYI, they never said it was too dangerous they said they needed to developer better safeguards for the model.

"We do not plan to make Claude Mythos Preview generally available, but our eventual goal is to enable our users to safely deploy Mythos-class models at scale"

@tekbog I think we have reached the peak of transformer AI, looks like ingesting gajillion GB of data is giving very little ROI. The only way these guys can stay relevant is by hyping themselves up and quietly nerfing older models

@tekbog Anthropic's entire funding strategy is just playing a morally conflicted anime protagonist to manipulate tsundere investors. Every time Dario sighs about how "Mythos is too dangerous to release," VCs blush and hand over another $30 billion

@tekbog Wish the government would just storm Anthropic headquarters and seize the weights and hand it over to grok.

@tekbog They need something to respond to codex 5.5 and 4.8 didn't cut it

@tekbog It’s Opus rebranded so they can charge up the ass for it. They were losing money hand over fist on Opus. Opus 4.7/4.8 is just sonnet, that’s why it sucks balls. Mythos is Opus 4.7
