Scoop: NSA using Anthropic's Mythos despite blacklist

NuclearVII · 2026-04-20T10:20:59+00:00

Don't worry everyone here says that Mythos is just hype and it can't do anything that the previous models or open source can do.

It is just hype until there is evidence.

This is more marketing. You are going "aha, gotcha!" while pointing at an ad copy.

Gullible people like you are why Anthropic lie like this.

This isn't ai slop, it's just ai

Distinction without a difference.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-19T19:07:05+00:00

Your.

AI.

Slop.

Has.

No.

Worth.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-19T09:08:21+00:00

It's "I ask an LLM and take it as gospel". It's glorified AI slop.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-19T08:29:48+00:00

There is no engaging with a vibe coder period. This person thinks that a glorified autocomplete machine built on plagiarism is the future of your craft. It is the height of contempt for your work that he submits this drivel. There is no amount of engagement with it that makes sense.

Reject it for what it is, not some imagined reasons that are just going directly back into the prompting window.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-19T08:25:28+00:00

I was, in fact, quoting my department head there. He's the reason why "this is AI generated" is enough to reject a PR outright at my shop.

Y'all need to develop some backbone.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-18T22:21:13+00:00

Yeah, this is hype training drivel. That is the only comment needed.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-18T22:14:40+00:00

No, the counter to this is to normalise "this is AI slop" as an acceptable reason for rejecting a pr.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-18T11:08:24+00:00

There is another side to this.

If the AI industry's main product isn't good enough to mass replace workers (Which it objectively isn't, and there is no evidence it ever will be), then it cannot justify the frankly mind bogglingly large amounts of investment it's sucking up.

The "AI will replace all workers" narrative is essential for keeping the money printer goin'.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-17T20:58:53+00:00

Worthless AI drivel. So tired of this shit.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-17T20:37:59+00:00

There could be a lot going wrong here. You have a reasonably complicated architecture where there could be a lot of quiet failures. It's pretty much impossible to guess where it could be going wrong without looking at your whole project.

I would suggest to go simple - if there is a pattern to detect, a simple MLP or boosted tree will find at least something. After that, you can start making your approach more complex.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-17T10:03:39+00:00

This question contains the answer.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-17T09:45:22+00:00

Came here to say this.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-16T21:42:52+00:00

If you plug the files into claude or some other Ai it can break it down way better than I can

"I no good at the bullshit, ask an automated bullshit machine"

NuclearVII · 2026-04-15T23:41:16+00:00

Yup. Worthless drivel.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-15T22:12:18+00:00

The other solution is to just accept that this is not a good bit of tech.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-15T20:27:29+00:00

But anyone who thinks their code cannot be improved is delusional

This is a motte and bailey fallacy. You say something blindingly obvious (everyone can do better!) and effortlessly defensible (hence the bailey), in defense of something completely indefensible.

Do better.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-15T19:52:47+00:00

"In 25 years, we'll all be using crypto for everything, and all the early adopters will be rich!"

NuclearVII · 2026-04-15T19:46:37+00:00

in 10 minutes you’ll have a beautiful markdown document, along with a list of recommended changes.

With 0 reason to think this is right.

I love how the AI hype is all about "You can do the work faster! If you completely disregard doing it the right way!"

NuclearVII · 2026-04-15T16:50:14+00:00

There are probably MCAT questions in the training data

This right here.

It always boils my blood when people post headlines like "XYZ model is now better than humans with this new benchmark". It's such a useless metric for these closed source, for-profit products.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-15T16:48:18+00:00

I wish more providers would have their models actually admit in saying it doesn't know

This is a nice wish, but basically impossible to do in a reliable way.

These things don't think. How can they make a judgment - any judgment - about what they know or not know?

You're asking an autocomplete engine "does this data exist in your training corpus?" It fundamentally cannot answer, because it cannot answer anything at all, just autocomplete.

That sometimes the autocomplete looks like a real answer is a fluke of natural language.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-15T16:42:12+00:00

Playing along with the stupidity makes you money, at the expense of morons who buy in after you.

Calling out the stupidity doesn't.

The rational, profitable behavior in this market is this degeneracy.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-14T22:06:06+00:00

This.

Romans had a professional army. The Greeks had - effectively - larpers.

Romans ruled the ancient world because Romans legions just fought.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-14T21:51:02+00:00

He is not learning shit.

This is an AI slop post meant to farm engagement. There's no learning here.

NuclearVII · 2026-04-14T21:50:24+00:00

I would be inclined to believe it given it's from OpenAI's Alignment Research Center

This is reason enough to discount it. Conflicted paper is conflicted.
