> In other words, it’s like adding an automated security researcher to your team. Not a zero-day machine that’s too dangerous for the world. Missing the point? Hiring an elite human researcher isn't easy, or cheap. It's beyond the means of the vast majority of people out there. $20/Month Claude Pro subscription? Not so much. The question for me: How much better _is_ Mythos than Opus 4.6 or 4.7, or Sonnet for that matter? Those models and similar from other companies are already being effectively leveraged by threat actors. If Mythos reduces the time x money cost of finding a new zero-day by a factor of 10 vs Opus 4.7 - that's concerning. If it's a factor of 1.1 - meh... the world is going to have to learn how to deal with these things sooner than later, and that means the "white hats" are going to need superior funding to the "black hats" along with cooperation to close the gaps they find, or the "black hats" are going to be getting a lot more annoying than they already are.

    People for some reason assume that you can pay $20 for a bot and it will do something. You need a person with a lot of experience to get something useful from this bot, and every time we actually measure, the results that your experienced person will be quicker and better not using it at all, and doing the same work themselves. The corporate solution is to hire a not experienced person to wrangle the bots, but that's a sure way to introduce bugs, not fix them.
