It's not clear exactly how critical, but they are telling us, Anthropic, they are telling us that these are...

severe threats, severe vulnerabilities.

And it goes beyond just operating systems and web browsers.

So that means your web browser, my web browser, all the computers running right now around the world, vulnerable to attacks by a non-human autonomous mind, agent.

It also includes a number of vulnerabilities found in, say, bank security software and other critical digital infrastructure.

So what it means, again, Steve, it can't be overstated.

Right now, the most dangerous cyber weapon on Earth, because it would allow an amateur to wreak havoc—

on a very critical system or allow a professional to wreak havoc at a scale unimaginable.

This is the most powerful cyber weapon, and it was created by simply scaling up the brain, so to speak, the virtual brain, the neural network of

of the artificial intelligence.

In essence, the capabilities that have emerged out of the system mythos, it wasn't that they taught the system to hack specifically web browsers, so on and so forth, operating systems.

It simply learned how to do it itself.

It knows how to probe these vulnerabilities and report back or to act on its own to exploit those vulnerabilities.

So when you look at it in the context of the Department of War, as Dean Ball pointed out, refusing to or banning Anthropix software from the U.S.

government and also effectively banning its use by U.S.

contractors, so all major firms,

In essence, this conflict between the Department of War and Anthropic, you now have this tech company in possession of a weapon that is ostensibly far greater on a cyber attack level than anything the U.S.

government has or could produce.

What my understanding is, and we read the article and talk to some of the people behind the article coming out,

is that the fear is this is not, can't be used on the surface, take out certain jobs.
