Kind of cuts against their argument that Claude is a supply chain risk. Brilliant move by Dario in allowing USG access to this - will make it difficult for the political hacks to argue about security risks at trial.

SOTA model will only kill 100 children instead of 160.

I imagine that you will need to use a giant budget for covering those codebases, and you can always run a longer and more expensive loop.

I wonder what kind of frightening new cyber weapons three letter orgs will develop with this. And who they will be used against. They say they're ensuring "guardrails", but to that I say lol as we wait for the next Snowden.

If Mythos is really as good as Anthropic says it is there is no way the NSA isn't already using it.
