I hold many controversial opinions. For example, I think that a process segfaulting inside of a VM should not be able to take down the host.

Unfortunately, I use macOS. Where it can. And does. To my chagrin.

I don't think anybody actually watches videos any more, so here's MWT's core point -

The flagship and lead vuln in the research is a BSD vuln, it cost $20k to discover with Mythos. Anthropic only reached a crash, and the vuln class in 99%+ cases never reaches RCE, just crashes.

So.. cool.. you spent $20k of VC money to find a crash as the flagship vuln. But... uhm... that isn't the end of the world.

The proof is going to be if any of the open source vulns turn out to be important. So far:

I’ve had a bunch of people ask my thoughts on Anthropic’s Mythos. I’ve read the research paper they released and the numbers, and basically I agree with @malwaretech’s take. It’s marketing. The cybersecurity industry is historically very good at marketing cyber pearl harbour and the need to buy magic boxes.

@hacks4pancakes They literally named their company after a mythical device that was used to corrupt the mind and motivations of the leader of the most divine entities in the mortal world. It's like they realized "Torment Nexus" and "Guinea Worm" were already taken, so they went with their third choice.

question for rust friends:

When dealing with needing to encode a version number into an identifier (module name, enum member, etc) how do you go about doing it?

I've been going `foo_1_5` or w/e, and I dunno, I don't like it, feels awkward, but I can't think of a better way
