Anthropic's latest #AI model identifies thousands of 0-day #vulnerabilities in every major operating system and web browser. #Claude Mythos Preview sparks race to fix critical bugs, some unpatched for decades.
The difference here is that Claude Mythos is also able to create a working exploit 72% of the time, while previous models had a really hard time with it.
This makes me worry and wonder how we will prevent a #cybersecurity apocalypse.

@dirkdierickx that's the neat part: we won't.

@dirkdierickx Yikes. "For just one example, the lab's researchers say the model "wrote a web browser exploit that chained together four vulnerabilities, writing a complex JIT heap spray that escaped both renderer and OS sandboxes." That kind of vulnerability chaining might only be within the hands of the most skilled human hackers today, but if a similarly capable AI model were to be released, it might be like handing script kiddies a nuclear weapon."

@dirkdierickx wow, the potential for proactive defense here is actually incredible if this tech is guided right.
