when a bunch of independent researchers, well known software authors and others all say the same thing:

"the mythos paper was largely marketing fluff"

and none of them collaborated

i think the writing is on the wall .

back in sept, i caught claude talking itself into lying to me. Months later, @jonny discovered in the claude code leak that its hardcoded to lie.

then all the mythos hype

its like stan from monkey island is in charge

@Viss as someone outside of security world, can u point me to some stuff on the mythos hype/who should have been a collaborator but wasn't? i have mostly only been able to find... AI slop about the AI slop
@jonny did you see that flyingpenguin post, or bagders post from today?
@Viss no but i shall search (not being in the scene i don't recognize those names but i love them both)
The Boy That Cried Mythos: Verification is Collapsing Trust in Anthropic | flyingpenguin

@Viss thanks much, read the flying penguin and bagder one, and am gonna check these out too. i sorta knew it was hogwash but i didn't know it was consensus hogwash & don't have the expertise to evaluate that
@jonny dude my obsidian page for collecting these articles is literally three pages tall with just links to shit like this

@jonny like basically everyone who hasnt drank the kool-aid who is, with their own hands, testing all thes claims is like

"what the actual fuck how is any of this real? it barely works a tenth of the time and when it does work its like, junior analyst mode. how is china supposedly getting away with murder while the rest of us have to deal with this hallucination and refusal bullshit?"

An AI agent allegedly deleted a startup's production database

Spoiler alert: Cursor and Claude aren't supposed to do that.

Mashable
@Viss i routinely get the driveby criticism "well you probably just haven't used them and know how to use them you stinky luddite!" and increasingly my only response is have you????
