And, yes, the Anthropic Mythos post fits a previously-seen pattern of “AI” companies marketing by danger, but saying that it’s marketing does not refute what the models that are already generally offered can do.
And people act like their own conjecture is more informative than what people from multiple projects that deal with security bug reports say. See e.g. https://mastodon.social/@bagder/116363034479757682 .

Then there’s the dismissal that, yes, LLMs now find security bugs, but the bugs could have been found by other methods. But evidently defenders hadn’t actually found them by other methods. (Unknown what attackers had already found.) Or folks find it objectionable that the new capability has been made available to attackers and the proposed cure is to pay for access to the same LLM. But that does make the existence of the capability untrue.
