Except that it is? There’s nothing particularly special about mythos and it’s not “too dangerous” to release. LLMs make it easier for people to find potential vulnerabilities, true. But they cannot actually confirm that they’re real wothout an actual person verifying it. Lots of reports are bogus. Do I hate AI? Of course I do. It literally has nothing positive unless you’re an ai company’s ceo. It’s being sold at a heavily subsidized price that is literally unmaintainable. All models will have to use token based pricing and that’s wgen you’ll see what it actually costs (spoiler alert, it’s a fuckton of money). This awfyl technology is also why a lot of tech is getting increasingly expensive. Not to mention that for these models to exist, all of these companies stole unfathomable amounts of data and caused chaos in the job market. Aaron Swartz’s life was turned into hell for much less. You’re literally defending a product that’s enshitifying your life. It’s absolutely moronic.

Have you personally used Mythos? If not, I’m not confident in your assessment, especially given your self-admitted bias in this area. And, it is pretty bold of you to tell me what is making my life worse. How about you stick to your own experience. I use Claude code everyday at work, it makes coding faster. Maybe some day it fully eliminates software engineers. Thats just something we’ll have to live with, but I also notice using it can take lots of iteration and prompting and feedback, so there are still probably human jobs there. Getting pissy about AI isn’t going to change the reality. But, you’re just one of many on Lemmy going through the stages of grief over this. But, that doesn’t change what is happening and what is going to happen. The answer isn’t to deny what is going on, but to try to change society so that people don’t fall out when their work gets automated.
