World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'm not sure I get the concern. If there are vulnerabilities they have probably been sold to NSA, other state hackers and black hats already. Mythos would help close them for everyone.
Sure, a bad actor could use it to break in, but Mythos is not some secret hacking tool, it's an expensive LLM you can run against your own code and system giving you the upper hand.
Anthropic is actually acting responsibly by contacting maintainers and platforms with bugs and the possibility to analyze their systems before it's released to the wider public. And if it's all hype then this is a money grabbing operation to finally make good money off of LLMs. That concern however doesn't seem to be shared by the financiers.
I’m worried about the tons of barely maintained software run by your average company. Most commercial software is made by relatively small outfits and is drowning technical debt. The only thing saving their customers is the effort of picking through it.
But now any loser with a decompiler and a $100 Claude sub can ruin a whole lot of people’s day.
Things will get better, but the near term is pretty fucked.
I bought a game server once that was hosted on a VPS and I didn't bother doing much security setup for the first 12 hours (fail2ban etc). I was SSH-ing into it so the address was kind of 'open', but not listed anywhere.
Got over 300 failed SSH attempts in 12 hrs before I set up fail2ban and set up keys. Just massive botnets scouring addresses. (The game server never took off so it's actually now being used as a honeypot named like a payment node so I can report a bunch).
The worry is more the automation. Someone could cast an extremely wide net and find vulnerabilities that people didn't even know could be vulnerabilities. If you could run 1000 agents each one with the ability of a network/SE expert, you can steal a lot of things very quickly.
The thing to be concerned about is that LLM vendors have figured out a way to write a system card that leads to regulatory capture in under a week. That's the only innovation -- Mythos doesn't actually find software vulnerabilities considerably better than other LLMs.
I don't have it handy, but I recommend reading Anthropic's report about mythos and security. They state that in the long run, models which can iteratively build an attack against a perceived vulnerability will be a major win for defenders, but in the short term, they present an advantage to attackers since they basically expose oodles of new zero days.
So far any technical blog that Antrophic made regarding their new capabilities was a marketing lie (e.g. agents clean room implementing c compiler without human intervention - turns out the only true part of that was that the agents did burn tokens, but it was neither clean room, nor without human intervention, it didn't compile and it needed to use the actual compiler to copy paste working code [sic!]). I am not convinced the Mythos one is different.
Maybe the concern is less scrupulous actors will soon be able to develop similar models?
Yep; same as it ever was. The arms race continues. At least until Butlerian Jihad arrives.
