Anthropic's Claude Mythos isn't a sentient super-hacker, it's a sales pitch

The whole announcement is full of FUD and fearmongering. They say they can't talk about 99% of the findings, they claim one of their experiments went "public" and posted to some very obscure websites no one has heard of, but didn't disclose which websites were these...

They are saying "trust me, bro, I have a superhacker model" and proceed to show 0 evidence that it is what they are hyping.

I think we are learning as we go along much of what goes on in the world.

E.g. even though LLMs can generate code and we have agents - the profession of software engineers is not being destroyed. The demand for software engineers in the labour market is still strong.

Also a thing that wasnt spoken about loudly (and for good reason) is that code is not perfect - this means bugs/vulnerabilities are there. And the reality is, it is optimal to have done this - for it were not done, the release of software and the moving of resources towards other projects would slow. Aka slowing down economic activity.
