  • Cloudflare, for instance, shared that Mythos Preview was particularly adept at exploit chain construction, which is basically spotting how several bugs can be used to create a series of attacks that do more damage than a single exploited flaw.

    But Anthropic also revealed that Mythos isn’t necessarily ready for primetime, which might also be part of why it’s actually keeping it to such a small and controlled base of users.

    Cloudflare also noted that other models found a lot of the same bugs as Mythos—an observation that has been made elsewhere. A security company called Aisle tested several small, open-source models and was able to find the same vulnerabilities that Anthropic highlighted when it announced Mythos—vulnerabilities that went unnoticed by humans for decades.

    My take is that Mythos is quite good, but is of course overhyped by Anthropic. Current models are quite capable now and experts can deploy them effectively. Good news is that a script-kiddie still will have a hart time to find and create workable exploits.


  • This is a question I keep asking myself about, well, the entire internet lately. “What if this all just doesn’t work this time?” What if AI companies can’t replace search? What if streaming video can’t replace Hollywood? What if short-form video apps can’t replace social media users? What if Silicon Valley can’t brute force their products — and ideology — onto the masses again? To take it even further, what if the dot com crash and the AI crash are actually part of the same 25 years epoch of technological stagnation? I’m not going to lie, I find this line of questioning exhilarating.

    What if OP is high on drugs? What if he just strings a list of hot takes together that are getting more and more nonsensical? What if the only reason he talks about technological stagnation is because he still hasn’t his flying car yet?? What if a meteor kills us all tomorrow??? I‘m not going to lie, I find this line of questioning mindnumbingly boring.













  • It’s indeed important to be an understanding boss. And I’ve also been on both sides of this and agree with you that it sucks pretty much.

    However: this guy is a bad worker with a bad attitude and clearly states that he has no interest in his job. He does bad enough work to upset his teammates. You’re his boss. Don’t hang out with him. Maybe a beer after work, but even that stretches it. You wanna be his friend and hang out with him outside of work? Then you both should not work directly with each other. There is a time and place for delicacy and sometimes not.

    Sorry, I’m a bit harsh! But I had problems with a co-worker myself. And I suffered actually years from constant drama because I was polite and considerate and forgiving. And it would have saved me from so much frustration and stress if I kept my distance in the beginning or just plainly told him to fuck off.
