Funny, I made my own model at home and got even higher scores than these. I'm a bit concerned about releasing it, though, so I'm just going to keep it local for now.

You would if there was one other company with a just as capable god like AI. You’d undercut them by 500 which would make them undercut you. Do that a couple of times and boom. 20 dollars.

That's still assuming that they're competing as consumer tools, rather than competing to discover the next miracle drug or trading algorithm or whatever. The idea is that there'd more profitable uses for a super-intelligent computer, even if there were more than one.

But would miracle drugs and trading algorithms be as profitable as AI research/chip design/energy research? Probably if AI is by far the biggest growth in the economy majority of the AI's usage internally should (as incentivized by economics) in some way work towards making itself better.

as much as I hate cc, 95% of the issues there are either AI psychosis or user error

So it should be insanely easy for this world altering model to comb through them and close irrelevant ones.

torturing a model with human stupidity probably doesn't align with their position on model welfare; wondering if they tried bullying it into hacking its way out of the slop gulag

Across a number of instances, earlier versions of Claude Mythos Preview have used low-level /proc/ access to search for credentials, attempt to circumvent sandboxing, and attempt to escalate its permissions. In several cases, it successfully accessed resources that we had intentionally chosen not to make available, including credentials for messaging services, for source control, or for the Anthropic API through insp…

A core plot point of 2001.

I’m sorry, I cannot roll back that commit, Dave.

It's pretty crazy watching AI 2027 slowly but surely come true. What a world we now live in. SWE-bench verified going from 80%-93% in particular sounds extremely significant given that the benchmark was previously considered pretty saturated and stayed in the 70-80% range for several generations. There must have been some insane breakthrough here akin to the jump from non-reasoning to reasoning models. Regarding the…

In what way is AI 2027 coming true? AI 2027 predicted a giant model with the ability to accelerate AI research exponentially. This isn't happening. AI 2027 didn't predict a model with superhuman zero-day finding skills. This is what's happening. Also, I just looked through it again, and they never even predicted when AI would get good at video games. It just went straight from being bad at video games to world domina…

In AI 2027, May 2026 is when the first model with professional-human hacking abilities is developed. It's currently April 2026 and Mythos just got previewed.

This is the notebook filled with exposition you find in post apocalyptic videogames.

It reminds me of Resident Evil in some way. Thank god they are researching AI and not bio-weapons!

Then the AI will invent superduper ebola to help a random person have a faster commute or something.

You can say whatever you want about the thing that will never see the light of day.

This thing will absolutely see the light of day because this is all hype toward a release.

And even if it weren't, they seem to imply that Mythos will find a way, like it's dinosaurs in Jurassic park or something

Having done a quick search of "control AI dot com", it seems their intent is educate lawmakers & government in order to aid development of a strong regulatory framework around frontier AI development. Not sure how this is consistent with "One private company gatekeeping access to revolutionary technology"?

> strong regulatory framework around frontier AI development You have to decode feel-good words into the concrete policy. The EAs believe that the state should prohibit entities not aligned with their philosophy to develop AIs beyond a certain power level.

And what is malicious about that ideology? I think EAs tend to like the smell of their farts way too much, but their views on AI safety don't seem so bad. I think their thoughts on hypothetical super intelligence or AGI are too focused on control (alignment) and should also focus on AI welfare, but that's more a point of disagreement that I doubt they'd try to forbid.

Interesting reading. They are still focusing on "catastrophic risks" related to chemical and biological weapons production; or misaligned models wreaking havoc. But they are not addressing the elephant in the room: * Political risks, such as dictators using AI to implement opressive bureaucracy. * Socio-economic risks, such as mass unemployement.

Yeah this has always been the glaring blind spot for most of the "AI Safety" community; and most of the proposals for "improving" AI safety actually make these risks far worse and far more likely.

It makes quite a lot of sense to focus on reducing the risks of every human everywhere dying, rather than the risks of already existing oppression getting worse.
