when they keep saying “oooh this new model is too big and crazy and totally can’t be released” or “this new model is a 10x game changer totally unlike our previous iterations” it feels sort like boy crying wolf. yes they’re still pretty clearly improving models, but when you’ve hit diminishing returns / more incremental gains and you’re still saying this is sounds like pure PR hype from a company that previously been the “honest good guys” in the room

Their model did find thousands of security vulnerabilities across the companies they previewed Mythos with via project Glasswing. Is it not sensible that, given that emergent level of capability, that they do this gated release structure, as all those vulnerabilities would be exploitable by anyone using a Mythos-level model?
