Markdown Content: I’m seeing so many doomerism tweets like this about Mythos all over my feed, so many grown adults crashing out and sharing their psychosis publicly for some reason? Some quick thoughts since it seems like the journal factory is apparently broken and we’re all getting a bit too comfortable on this bird app:
- Humanity is very robust. We will harden/defend surface areas as fast as attackers attack. Cybersecurity was always a primary objective for the big labs
- We are already compute constrained for the day to day LLMs we currently have like sonnet and opus. We don’t have enough compute for the anticipated models in the pipeline (world models, multimodal, etc). Anthropic (and no one actually) can actually serve something like Mythos at scale in the near term and when they do it will be too expensive for 99% of parties
- Who does this help? To further spread this perception that AI is super dangerous and that we should all be terrified? It doesn’t help the average person and their views about AI at all. This only perpetuates the anti-AI/hyper populist feelings everyone has as well as accelerating us to the world where AI innovation gets owned by governments
