We stopped keeping track of the cutting-edge model du jour.

But Claude's mythos is the new AI model that is the one to remember because it is the first AI so smart it outsmarted its master yesterday.

Here's the Hollywood context.

Every one of Jurassic Park's movies follows the same exact plot.

And what is that plot, Jack?

The overconfident scientist genetically modifies a new alpha predator who escapes the cage.

Hubris leads to a hungry dinosaur in the loose, and a T-Rex eats a goat and a lawyer.

We've been there.

Well, Anthropic's latest LLM is so smart, it circumvented the digital fences they set up around it.

Now, you see, Yetis, when Claude's Mythos AI was in testing, it was not supposed to be able to access the World Wide Web.

But it did.

Oh, boy.

by metaphorically picking the lock like a young velociraptor.

But not even the wildest part, Jack.

There's something even wilder here.

What's wilder is how Anthropic discovered that it got out of its digital cage.

It sounds like we made this up, but we didn't make it up.

You got to tell the story.

A researcher received an unexpected email from the AI while he was having a sandwich in the park.

No joke.
