Mythos is good for cybersecurity simply because now executives can’t just tell people that only superhackers can break their stuff, as people wouldn’t believe them now anyways.
Infosec for decades has been 99% “hey I found some low-hanging fruit” only to get treated like a liability by the company you report it to, if you got acknowledgment at all. Because of Mythos though, now Artificial Superhumans can find these same vulns, and anyone could be running such an intelligence! Even better, the rich untouchable people operating this particular Artificial Superhuman can’t just be suppressed or ignored by the other set of rich untouchable people that have routinely not cared in the past. So long as it makes anthropic money, maybe we’ll actually see actual improvements in security!
