And if that is the case, that means that every cybersecurity product that has been installed did not find these.

And so we have to ask the question, what does that mean for today's cybersecurity products?

And are they going to have to completely reimagine the design of these products with a tool like Mythos?

Now, also, what if...

Somebody else has built a tool like mythos, but they don't have the ethical kind of foundational elements that Anthropic has committed themselves to.

That should also be a huge concern right now because there could be a hidden mythos that none of us is aware of that is ready to launch.

think this opens up a new door.

The way I like to think about this, I used to live in Hawaii.

And so when the tsunami bell goes off, you don't say, oh gosh, this is it.

This is when we're all gone.

You go to higher ground.

And you know the plan and you get the playbook out and you hear the bell, you hear the warning, you find out how much time you have and you execute against that plan.

And so this should be our tsunami bell warning of whatever you were planning on doing,

You need to operate at machine speed and not at bureaucratic speed.

So a couple of things, because I don't want people to not feel empowered and engaged on what to do here.

So if you're an executive listening to our conversation right now, a couple of things you need to be doing.

You need to be asking your vendors and your CISO right now,

How are we systematically testing our critical software, our open source dependencies, our cloud infrastructure against AI augmented vulnerability discovery?

Because Mythos will eventually be commercially available, but somebody else may make it available and it won't be in the good guy's hands, it'll be in the bad guy's hands.

Ask whether or not because of the vendor relationships you already have, do you have access to get intel for what they're learning as they continue to run the tool?
