Anthropic's Claude Mythos isn't a sentient super-hacker, it's a sales pitch — claims of 'thousands' of severe zero-days rely on just 198 manual reviews
Anthropic's new AI model, Claude Mythos, is being touted for its bug-finding capabilities, claiming to have discovered thousands of vulnerabilities across major systems. However, closer inspection reveals that the severity of these vulnerabilities may be exaggerated, with some not being as critical as portrayed. Anthropic's emphasis on security concerns and the potential dangers of AI like Mythos may be more of a sales tactic rather than a genuine threat. While the AI model shows promise in identifying vulnerabilities, the actual impact on cybersecurity remains to be seen, and the company's focus on selling to major tech companies and governments raises questions about its true intentions.
