More shady shenanigans to come. It was being used to allow the model to move around to hack into systems. To see how far it can go. A Red team test. Red teams ran the tests after Anthropic released Mythos early to major corporations and the government. Red-team exercises typically involve an organization testing its defenses by simulating an attack. In this case, the NSA reportedly used Mythos itself as the tool to probe its classified networks for weaknesses.

      Hey buddy… How does AI work? Just, briefly explain how it works so we can verify that you know what you’re talking about.

        That is a broad question… With that question, It looks like you are asking because you don’t know. What kind of ai? If you are talking about ai systems, they learn from huge amounts of data, and it identifies patterns to make predictions or decisions.

          Oh, no, I know how these things work generally, but do you? I’ll let you decide if you wanna pick LLMs or Generative AI or Machine Learning. How does any AI “learn”? How does it do anything? How would any of these AI systems hack anything. Just… Walk us all through it. Because if you don’t know how these things work or would work, then I’m not gonna trust your assertions.

            It learns through pattern recognition. Did I say it can do it on its own?! If it looked that way, I was meaning in the future. Ai tools can be used by a user now. A user, not hacking by itself, or on its own.

        There is no “AI”. It’s just a computer program. I imagine it’s largely fuzzing optimized with statistics, methodology, etc. This approach seems legit, although I can only speculate on the efficiency. I guess these grifters have never cared about efficiency, esp when hacking the NSA.

      If you think its hacking nearly all NSA systems you’re cooked.

          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 clearly don’t know who I am and just assume that I don’t know anything about the tech. Based on a newer account. How tragic. You sound like one of those Reddit bots. Yuck!

              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.

                AI can be used hack systems! I am not saying it will do it by itself. Not yet, unless we get so advanced like in all those movies. And you don’t know what advanced tech is out there, that is not released to the public. You acting all high and mighty, like you know everything about this is fucking disgusting.

                  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.

                    Yes, I am talking about the tools used to break in systems. And wait a minute, do you actually think that ai is not a threat? You are acting like you know about every unreleased ai related thing out there. If these systems were to exist, no way it would be released to the public. You don’t know everything about it and I don’t either.
