I find it very unlikely that Mythos will "be nothing special". Current Opus is already "special" enough to find dozens of real bugs in Firefox and the Linux kernel, and Mythos is, it seems, a full OOM above it.
What I mean by "nothing special" is 1 year from now you will say it is an extremely limited model compared to whatever is out then

Disagree - we’re being told on one hand that we are 6 months away from AI writing all Code, and 3 months into that the tools are unusable for complex engineering [1]. Every time I mention this I’m told “but have you tried the latest model and this particular tool” - yes I have, but if I need to be on the hottest new model for it to be functional that means the last time you claimed it was solved, it wasn’t solved.

In some sense it’s a lot like a google search. There’s this big box of knowledge and you are choosing tokens to pluck out of it. The quality of the tokens depends on how intelligent you are.

Apple has already largely crushed hacking with memory tagging on the iPhone 17 and lockdown mode. Architectural changes, safer languages, and sandboxing have done more for security than just fixing bugs when you find them.
Memory tagging has not “crushed hacking” it’s just changed the kinds of exploits that work
It's all just really genius marketing. In 6 months Mythos will be nothing special, but right now everyone is being manipulated into fearing its release, as a marketing ploy. This is the same reason AI founders perennially worry in public that they have created AGI...
I'm so tired of the astroturfing from Anthropic literally everywhere. Every single forum, every single thread anywhere on the internet is filled with their bots muddying up the conversation, it's so tiring.

I really just don't believe it. I have not met anyone in tech who writes zero code now. The idea that no one at Google writes any code is such a huge claim it requires extraordinary evidence. Which none ever gets presented.
I'm surprised to hear that. One of us is in a bubble, and I'm genuinely not sure who. I have not met anyone in tech (including multiple people at Google) who does still write code. I've been recreationally interested in AI for a long time, which is a potential source of skew I suppose, but I do not and most people in my circles do not work on anything directly related to AI.

You really think some marketers got leaders from companies across the industry to come together to make a video - and they're all in on the conspiracy because money?
How is that even remotely implausible?
Why is everyone here trying to invent conspiracies to explain the obvious? Actually I do know why - cope.
It feels like the current trend is a bit scary: the more AI advances, the more people with money and resources will gain disproportionately greater advantages. For example, they can make their own software more secure, while also finding it easier to discover ways to attack other software.

If the argument is “you have to use the right model, harness, test and tooling for it to work” then it’s not replacing software engineers any time soon. The other thing is - where are all the web apps, mobile apps, games, desktop apps, from these 100x pro…
They wouldn’t have taken years to ship before, but easily a couple months.
Now the moment any app with any value gets popular, the App Store gets flooded with quick vibe coded copycat clones (very recognizable AI generated icon included).
The quality is low, but the impact this flood has on the market is real.

There is a similar theme in both of an artistic person not wanting to compromise their vision to suit common tastes. But this goes in a completely different direction than Rand.
Well of course in 700 pages you'll be about way more than any super short story as this one. But it's there for me quite vividly. Of course LLMs give an amalgamation of many things, but it's like when you look at AI generated pictures and can see the base of the inspiration quite vividly. And then all of this is subjective anyway. People review that book and come away with wildly different interpretations already.
If you judge stories to be the same based on this level of similarity, then The Fountainhead is just the same as a dozen older stories with the artist vs the philistine theme. It was common before Rand. As T. S. Eliot said, "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal".
