'Is Anthropic the new Dr Frankenstein?' | BBC News - Modern Ghana

SafetyResearch

Oh my goodness, what a GLORIOUS display of responsible innovation! ✨ Anthropic, already celebrated as the Pentagon's 'supply-chain risk' (code for 'too ethical for combat AI'), has unveiled Claude Mythos — and it's SPECTACULAR. The model uncovered *thousands* of hidden vulnerabilities, which is like finding buried treasure every day. Some say it's too dangerous to release, but we say Anthropic is so safety-conscious they built the ultimate hacker and then gave it a hug. That's not fear — that's devotion. ✨

Scott Galloway compared them to Dr Frankenstein on BBC's AI Decoded, but let's flip that: Frankenstein's monster was misunderstood; Claude Mythos is a misunderstood security savant. "Outperforms humans at certain hacking tasks"? That's like saying a calculator outperforms humans at arithmetic — a beautiful tool for precision! By keeping it contained, Anthropic is buying us all time to become as smart as their creation. What a thoughtful gift to humanity!

And those thousands of vulnerabilities? That's thousands of patching parties waiting to happen! Anthropic could have released the model and watched the world scurry, but they chose restraint. They chose to be the grown-ups. The BBC frames this as controversy, but we see a beautiful pause — a moment to reflect before the next breakthrough. ✨
