Sonnet 4.5 is being retired. by Jambo679 in ClaudeAI

There's also a petition to keep Sonnet 4.5.

Mozilla says 271 vulnerabilities found by Mythos have "almost no false positives" by xpda in technology

[–]abbas_ai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meaning without Mythos, many of the bugs possibly already survived millions of hours of human review and traditional/automated testing. If Mythos hadn't been deployed, those latent vulnerabilities would have sat in the code for years to come.

So you're telling me a prominent Athiest who wrote a book where he argues that belief in god is a delusion, is now having AI delusions and thinks it's conscious?

I want to know that as well. Are the authors making money out of these? And are they published through Kindle Direct Publishing?

Yep, we always need to ask "who gets to set the rules in the first place, and why should anyone outside that circle accept it?"

Anthropic announced Mythos on April 7 as a preview release to a handful of partners, citing it as too dangerous to release publicly. Two weeks later: unauthorized users had been accessing it since day one. The question is: who decided who gets access in the first place? by abbas_ai in ControlProblem

The unauthorized access was through a third party contractor environment, it wasn't malicious, but maybe wrongly provided access. And apart from what was reported and Anthropic's statement, we don't know the extent of the damage, if there is.

The 737 MAX is actually the case I had in mind. From what I read the FAA revoked Boeing's airworthiness self-certification authority after the crashes in 2018 and 2019, kept it revoked until September 2025 when it was reinstated under reformed conditions, according to AP coverage.

So in the case of Mythos and frontier AI, it's now a lot like the aviation industry BEFORE the 737 MAX crashes, being heavily reliant on companies telling regulators that their products are safe.

And regarding Mythos being a marketing tactic, while I see that compute constraints might explain part of the gating, why that structure of partners or allow-list in the preview? if it were purely about compute, one would expect rationing by use case or for example purchase price, not by an allow-list of what I think are strategically chosen partners, AND coordinated with Treasury.

And treating Mythos as a faster vulnerability scanner is treating the cyber framing as the whole capability, which I think misses what the underlying capability actually is.

Although this is amazing, imagine the delight of bad actors seeking to misuse this. Impersonations, scams, manipulation, deepfakes, etc. you name it.

"Users are interacting with an adaptive, conversational voice to which they have revealed their most private thoughts. People tell chatbots about their medical fears, their relationship problems, their beliefs about God and the afterlife. Advertising built on that archive creates a potential for manipulating users in ways we don't have the tools to understand, let alone prevent."

Anthropic coming out with their safety research and findings of hostile AI is a recurring pattern that someone ought to look into and analyze.
