Not only is there nothing new about that, but I found, I put this on my podcast, almost word for word from the Anthropic System Card, they said in the Opus 4.6, rather, Systems Card, right?
A publicly available model that's already been out for many months.
Almost word for word for what they said about mythos, except for no coverage of it and no fear.
They said, we have found
500 zero-day vulnerabilities, including some that had been existing for decades without having been discovered.
That is what they said about what Opus 4-6 could do.
For Mythos, they said the same thing.
They just replaced the word 500 with thousands.
But when Opus 4.6 came out, there was no, oh my God, they have found many hundreds of zero-day exploits, many of which have been around for decades, because they didn't push that marketing button.
No one particularly cared about it.
I went back to my podcast and showed multiple papers.
This has been a huge concern.
And it's a real concern, by the way, right?
Is that partially what...
slows down slightly cracking, right, the breaking into systems, is the fact that it's annoying and hard.
And LLMs have made it easier.
GPT-4 was good at finding exploits, right?
And this was a big deal.
They were like, GPT-3, 5 wasn't great at it, GPT-4 is.
And then as we got the more recent models, they've been much better at writing code to exploit them because we had better agents for it and they're more, they're
