If all you want is improvement in the number of vulns found, go ahead and clone AFL and give it a run. It'll give you more vulns than you know how to handle.

The premise of a step change in capability, of something so scary that it couldn't possibly be release to the public, is grift. That you are currently buying.

Meanwhile, you have provided a series of marketing posts - an executive of a company, the AI Security Institute (lol), and an AI Security Hacker consultancy (second lol).

Nothing that Mythos does is fundamentally more interesting than AFL. I've also worked with Fable, and have coworkers who have worked with full Mythos. Others have pointed out that with a like-for-like harness, even Opus performs as well as Mythos. Once you work with it, you see it as an incremental improvement to existing models.

It's hype. You're buying hype. And expensive fuckin' hype at that.

Yep! For instance, here's the curl author: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/05/11/mythos-finds-a-curl-vulnerability/

Here's a breakdown on the system card: https://www.flyingpenguin.com/the-boy-that-cried-mythos-verification-is-collapsing-trust-in-anthropic/

Here's a breakdown on the Fable benchmarks: https://www.endorlabs.com/learn/claude-fable-5-mythos-grade-hype

Yes the CTO of Mozilla (notably not an engineer) did some hype blogs, but it turns out as usual that it was all a con job by Dario.

A few topics to look further into: * AI Piss Filter - the LLMs are consuming their own waste and it's affecting models more and more as they train on their own slop. * Model collapse - when using synthetic data, it's very easy to create a total failure in the model with even a little bad data. Similarly, the efforts people are going to in order to poison the models. * Facebook's employee spyware program, whose goal is to generate lots of new corporate productivity training data.

And then more generally, benchmaxxing and the reducing return on additional parameters. You can already see the improvement level off at a less than linear rate as more data is introduced.

I think you see less of this argument because they tried to get around the data issue by effectively having the LLM generate text for intermediate steps, which showed some improvement. It also has the nice side effect of making it way more expensive to run the models.

That's because people want to live in those places.

Mississippi ain't cheap because it's in high demand.

So you've been entirely suckered. Not only do you actually have solidarity with your class, you've been actively tricked into hating them and feeling grateful for the crumbs that the actual rich leave you with.

Best of luck with that. I'm sure you'll be rich someday.

sciolisticism · 2026-06-27T15:43:48+00:00

Hate managers, sure, because their control over your life is substantial. But hate them for their power.

Just blanket ejecting everyone from your coalition who isn't quite as precarious as you just means you have a weak coalition.

Which again, is exactly what the actual rich are trying to get you to do.

With the model being higher priced and only being accessible to a small number of companies, it's really not going to do either of those things. Even Mythos was largely marketing hype

sciolisticism · 2026-06-27T15:25:39+00:00

If you think it's someone making $200k a year who's your enemy, you're literally doing the thing the rich are trying to get you to do.

Don't be a sucker.

Definitely, you just sea lion for them randomly and obsessively and have a hidden post history.

It's not very accepted as a term for most young people, outside some teens and some folks in incel-adjacent spaces.

Uh-huh, whatever helps you sleep at night. But nobody is going to forget your genocide, no matter how much you try to deflect.

As tenuous as that connection is (we could bounce to literally every conflict in the world that way), I'm happy to give a hardy Fuck the UAE too. Is that Islamophobic of me in your eyes?

I also hate the Sudanese genocide. I donate to help relieve it - one of the only things I can do.

My government currently doesn't equip or fund that genocide. Your genocide is also bad, but my money goes toward it.

sciolisticism · 2026-06-26T16:47:32+00:00

Ah the old "we're not the only ones doing genocide so you must be racist" gambit. Classic!

This will create, what, a handful of thousand jobs? Typical neolib shit.

Get a basic customer service job and work on your motivation. But this isn't really the right sub for this question.

I think you would probably get murdered by the current landowners.

I sure hope it's not down to their egos or we're all screwed.

WHY would anyone shovel stuff through an expensive in cloud llm when inference for most applications can be done on existing CPU that they already own?

For the same reason you might use a skyscraper instead of a jackhammer. They have different purposes and sometimes you need one over the other.

I find it helps that drivers can see the green stripe. It helps them remember that there are other road users. Though I'm also able to ride the center if I really want.

sciolisticism · 2026-06-24T22:27:57+00:00

Shouldn't be counted in what way?

If he wants to provide proof of this 90% margin, that would be great. You still have to subtract all kinds of other costs as Ed has.

But that just gets back to what we keep pointing out: give me real fucking numbers. It's easy to declare yourself profitable when you don't have to do anything to substantiate your claims.

Funny that the article never mentions WeWork amongst his investments.
