The bar has become so low lately that no one will care.
Hasn't almost every new frontier model had an early period of limited access? I don't get why everyone is acting like Mythos is particularly egregious for this.

It is called "Mythos" dude...do you have any idea how mysterious and scary this sounds to most people and how much hype that alone can generate.
If the model was calle "Mini Mouse" it wouldn't feel anywhere near as threatening and interesting.
It sounds like the name of a cologne from the 70s or something and I like it.

This is literally how they announced the model:
> We formed Project Glasswing because of capabilities we’ve observed in a new frontier model trained by Anthropic that we believe could reshape cybersecurity.
> Claude Mythos Preview is a general-purpose, unreleased frontier model that reveals a stark fact: AI models have reached a level of coding capability where they can surpass all but the most skilled humans at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities.
It's an entirely different thing to have the company conduct research on LLMs in general being a cybersecurity threat, instead of going "our new model is just too powerful" and shift the discussion to revolve around that. It's slimey.
