"Experts warn a powerful new AI model could exploit major systems and browsers using simple prompts. Its maker calls it too dangerous to release."
...
"'This is the kind of thing that should keep us up at night,' tech expert Carmi Levy told CTV News. 'We knew this day would come, that AI would get so good that it would be able to break into even the most hardened cyber defences. And that's kind of what we're at with Anthropic's Claude Mythos model.'"
...
"'It's like using ChatGPT to be a hacker,' said Levy. 'It means that our existing defences are no longer sufficient to protect ourselves against these newly emerging threats.'"
...
"While some online have called Mythos 'AI doomsday,' others caution Anthropic's announcement could be a savvy marketing strategy in the race for AI dominance. It could also be both.
"'Many people would be right in saying that this is a little bit of hype, a little bit of press release, a little bit of publicity stunt,' said Claudiu Popa, a cybersecurity expert. 'But we certainly need to acknowledge the capability of that tool and we need to start preparing for such a time when there will be lots of AIs scouring the internet, looking for vulnerabilities.'
"Popa says one of the most worrisome elements of Claude Mythos is that it does not require a sophisticated level of understanding of cybersecurity making it potentially harmful in the hands of bad actors.
"'That's why this acts as not a reason to practice fear mongering, but to raise the level of awareness and concern amongst organizations,' said Popa."
So... yet another reason why this asinine AI bubble needs to burst, and sooner rather than later.
