⚠️ AI as a financial system threat: Inside the “Mythos” emergency The U.S. government convened an emergency meeting with Wall Street leaders regarding Mythos, an advanced Anthropic AI model, marking a shift to AI-driven systemic threats. What is Mythos? • Next-gen AI capable of autonomous system hacking. • Exploits vulnerabilities across major OS and browsers. • Surpasses existing models in cyber capabilities. Why it hasn’t been released: • Anthropic withheld public access due to extreme misuse risk. • Limited rollout to ~40 companies under “Project Glasswing”. • Goal: patch vulnerabilities before exploitation. Government & Wall Street response: • Emergency meeting led by Scott Bessent and Jerome Powell. • Bank CEOs warned current defenses are inadequate. • AI classified as a systemic financial and national security risk. Escalating threat landscape: • Chinese state-backed hackers previously used a weaker Claude model. • Over 30 organizations reportedly breached. • Mythos represents a significant leap in offensive capability. The core uncertainty: • Controlled access may be insufficient. • Mythos could evolve faster than defensive systems adapt. AI is now infrastructure-level risk, forcing governments to treat models like critical weapons systems. @aipost🏴
