Why Anthropic’s Mythos Is Sparking Global Alarm

[00:00:00]What kinds of companies or industries or institutions could be most vulnerable to a cyber attack from a extra autonomous LLM like Mythos?

[00:00:13]Mythos isn't changing hacking in a sense. It's changing the speed and the acceleration of hacking.

[00:00:22]Flaws exist in loads of software. So, from the financial industry to you know, manufacturing to even governments who might be concerned about espionage.

[00:00:35]Mythos isn't actively going and hacking those things right now. But, if a model like Mythos is to was to come out, it it allows hackers to just attempt to hack anything that has kind of the software that they can point these models at. So, it's it's kind of the same story as it's always been. Anything that's on the internet is potentially able to be hacked, right? We're reliant upon the industry defending itself and putting in place proper measures. And most of it most of it does. The big concern here is smaller players who maybe don't have the budgets to make sure that when this kind of bug apocalypse is as everyone's describing it as comes, that they might be the lower hanging fruit where lots of flaws and exploits are found. And then when when someone tries to use those, they don't have the defense in place.

[00:01:28]So, it's it's it's a broad broadly everyone. Not to sound like I'm a scaremongering, but it's just the question is you know, it that hasn't changed. Everyone is susceptible to being hacked unless they're operating from a cardboard box in a Faraday cage.
