Project Glasswing by Anthropic didn't just find the bugs. It also found the real vulnerability in cybersecurity.

Anthropic's Claude Mythos flexed its bug-hunting muscles, but the real discovery is that open-source maintainers are drowning. Of 6,200 vulnerabilities flagged in open-source code, a triumphant 75 have been patched.

Let's not kid ourselves: the capability leap here is real, and it's terrifying. Claude Mythos can now do in weeks what took armies of security researchers years. But the gap between discovery and remediation just yawned open like a subprime mortgage crisis. The article quotes a researcher saying 'the bottleneck has shifted from finding bugs to fixing them' — which is tech-speak for 'we built a firehose and forgot to install a drain.'

And the really funny bit? Anthropic will probably spin this as evidence of responsible AI deployment. 'We found the problems!' they'll say, conveniently omitting that nobody's solving them. It's like a doctor diagnosing a pandemic and then going on holiday. With great power comes great… what was that phrase again? Ah yes, plausible deniability. 🫖
