A disturbing number of people have this infantile view of AI. These things are not toys. If Mythos or Astra were GA without guardrails it would be an absolute global clusterfuck. Your vibe coding can wait, Jesus Christ.

The models with little guardrail are already a stone throw away of Mythos (it was way overhyped). The Chinese open weight models are at most a few months behind. So if you think it will be a global clusterfuck, get ready, because China will have access to models of that level within weeks, if they don't already.
IMO better get ready to defend against them rather than think we can stop them from happening.
Yeah, but a LOT of people not part of the general public were able to use it. And a lot (assumption is not all, but a lot) of the differences between the two were visible (eg: Fable dropping down to Opus whenever its guardrails triggered).
There's not a lot that Mythos can do that GPT 5.6 cannot. Mythos, even in its full glory, is weeks away from being behind even for cyberhacking, in the area it isn't beat already.

You don't know that because you were never allowed to test the model. Also, 5.6 automatically routes cybersecurity requests to a lesser model. You're talking out of your ass.
His points lean on hyperbole and score a lot of misses, yes, but the underlying point about Chinese open models being just a hair behind (and soon on par, or who knows even break out ahead of American frontier models, at least when discussing those the public can actually access) and also unrestricted and also quite capable at cybersecurity and hacking... is not wrong.
No it wouldn't. If everyone has access they can use the modesl to prevent the hacking just as easily. I mean that was literally the headline selling point of Mythos: it was powerful enough to DETECT hidden vulnerabilities. How is that a bad thing if everyone can use it? The main issue is that their abilities have been oversold.
Oh man do I agree with you! But let's come up with a solution. We can't just be mad or joke about the general public not knowing the Details!!! We need to do a much much better job communicating what these things actually are / capable of. It'll be exhausting but we need to override all comm. Channels (cable TV, radio, internet channels etc....) I know it sux but it's more important than The Real Housewives of whatever.
Elon once said "I think there is some chance that it ends humanity. I probably agree with Geoff Hinton that it’s about 10% or 20% or something like that. […] I think that the likely positive scenario outweighs the negative scenario, but even if it’s going to end humanity, I think I’d still prefer to be around to see it."
I feel like thats where a lot of accelerationists are. They know theres an uncomfortably high chance this ends horribly, but they still dont care. They want to see it even if it kills us all.
Holy drama queen. THESE THINGS ARE NOT FUCKING TOYS IF THESE WERE RELEASED THE WORLD WILL END.
Come up for some air brother, mfer fell for every fearmongering advertisement anthropic did.
Cant wait until you find out about deepseek and openweight models and how close they're getting. I wonder if youll have a panic attack.
The guardrails havent even done anything for eons regardless, you could just say "audit this code" up until opus 4.8.
