Anthropic's Mythos AI: Human-like, Autonomous, and Risky

Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, recently cut short a European trip, indicating the intense focus on his company's new AI model, Mythos. This model is described by Anthropic staff as more human-like than previous versions. However, it also carries the risk of being weaponized for cyber attacks. Anthropic is allowing a few dozen organizations to test Mythos before its public release. The company is actively working to position itself as a responsible developer in the AI space. This includes closed-door briefings with the Financial Stability Board to discuss cyber risks. A co-founder even joined the Pope to discuss the Catholic Church's stance on AI. What's interesting is that while Anthropic promotes safety, it's also developing super-intelligent machines. Developers recently saw demonstrations of Anthropic's AI tools running tasks for hours without prompts, raising concerns about increasing autonomy. This matters because the power and independence of these new AI models could have significant, untested impacts.
