Hey look it's a 5 day old AI evangelist account.

You clearly don't understand the technology, which disqualifies you from fear stoking the masses who also dont understand it.

    You believe AI can hack systems, that's what i'm basing this on, and your other comments which are all promoting LLMs to be far more than they actually are.

    If you mean that LLMs are more powerful brute force attackers, sure, but "Anthropic models hacked" and the OP you wrote yourself is just fearmongering. At best LLMs can tech a person who did not previously know how, how to commit certain crimes, and possibly create bash scripts to automate this, but that is not a model that autonomously hacks.

    The hype is purely to drive the coming IPO, they have to go hard and fast before the world realises what rouse is being pulled.

    If you just want to critically think for one moment: (leaving asside models have no autonomous agency) If the Mythos-class models really are that impressive, and it did what they claimed, how was it not disabled before Fable went public? Mythos had been 'out' for over a month to those select few orgs.

    There's a discussion in the House of Lords last week which is a bunch of grandma's and grandpa's yapping on about the dangers of AI. You remind me of them. Remember how little people understand about the toxic algorithms of social media? They understand about 100x less of this, and are all making kneejerk decisions because they don't understand anything and are scared if something goes wrong, the buck will stop with them.

    And Anthropic and Open AI both benefit from not educating people too much, because that would pop the Myth and the Fable they are trying to sell.

    I have an above average understanding of the underlying technology, and there is no more threat today from "AI" than there has been from other sophisticated tools circulating on the dark web for decades.

    To use an analogy: I understand how a combustion engine works. If you suddenly came out and claimed that combustion engines are able to mow grass and we would never have to mow lawns ourselves gain, I would understand enough to know you're out of your depth.

    You can believe pigs can fly, but to people who understand pigs, they will just see you're talking about beliefs, because the knowledge and the science says, that simply because of their lack of wings and fairly dense bodies, the rotation of their tiny curly tails is simply insufficient to provide the lift to make them airborne.

    What you can do is put lipstick on said pig, and that is what I'll let you do now, just expect to run into resistance when you talk to people who know instead of believe.
