Lack of clothing is not really that big of problem if we look from needs perspective.
"at home" bioweapon panic has been around since crispr and rna synthesis got available to amateurs.
There is nothing that special about bioweapons, there are plenty of bacteria that will kill you just fine. Americans even have free samples on their salad.
Data labeling is pretty big industry in some countries and I guess dropping 200 kilodollars on labeling is beyond the reach of most academics, even if they would not care about ethics of that.
my quick read of the process they describe is that first they asked agents to rank files in order of potential to have interesting bugs, then they launch agents for each file in order of "interesting bug potential" and finally launch another agent for verification. (maybe i am mistaken, this is my read of this post https://red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-preview/ )
it's not clear to me if they made just one pass over each file or made several passes for same file, but regardless, I think if you recreate roughly same process and burn 20000$ on tokens with other reasonably good model, you will find some fancy bugs too.
Not sure how is situation with home installations, factory i work for runs 150kw plant for our own consumption and don't bother with selling, but i know that we can set up how much we want/are allowed to feed back.
How much media can or rather may diverge from state opinion depends country to country.
Of course there are interesting hypotheticals - let's say they create a model they think will be sentient. It computes, computes, computes, computes and produces no output for day, month, year. You cannot know if it is sentient, you cannot investigate it's inner workings in case it is sentient. All you can do is to feed energy and replace hardware forever, because it is the only ethical choice one can make.
