Now, whether Anthropic agrees or not, it seems likely that the more people having access scenario is the one that will play out.

Chubby Kimonismis writes, We've now seen Claude Mythos and know it's possible.

OpenAI has repeatedly indicated that Spud is likely to have similar quality and power.

Google, in turn, has the most compute and with DeepMind an outstanding research institution.

I expect their new Gemini equivalent Mythos to be unveiled no later than May at I.O.

The competition is now forcing Frontier Labs to catch up and move forward.

In that sense, Mythos was just the beginning.

Seeming to reinforce that message, when AddionX writes, it'll probably be months before we use a model of this level of capability, Thibaut from the Codex team at OpenAI simply responded, um, so who knows?

We don't have access to Mythos now, but Spud might be just around the corner and just as powerful.

So to come back to the question of the episode, should we be scared of anthropics mythos?

My answer is of course, no.

We should be thoughtful.

We should be diligent.

We should use it as a moment to re-engage and recommit to important and hard conversations.

But fear serves no one.

And even if we discover that this or a future model

is genuinely worthy of concern, the right answer even then will not be to fall victim to fear.

It will be to look at it, ask what we should do about it, and then go do that thing.

The interesting times continue, but for now, that is going to do it for today's AI Daily Brief.

Appreciate you listening or watching, as always, and until next time, peace.
