alt Hacker NewsI wonder whether this kind of release of model could become the spark that ignites a new digital "cold war" between us, europe, india and china, in which they will try to outwit their rivals and compromise their critical infrastructure using artificial intelligence.
Also I’d like to believe that this really is such a huge step forward compared to Opus, but lately I’ve found it hard to believe when I look at the statements made by the CEOs of AI companies and their associates, who are fuelling the hype surrounding this topic even further. Of course, it is good that large companies and industries that are crucial to the country are the first to have access to this, but until the launch takes place, I will approach this with a degree of scepticism.

This invisible cyberwar is already happening; it's just that the brains powering it is getting smarter.

Already been going on for over a decade - export controls on dual use technology like Xeon processors already began being enforced back in the Obama admin.

It's already launched. Some companies had access to Mythos for months.

This is true. Commercially available models from a year ago are already good enough from an offensive security perspective. Their big issue was noise, but that could be managed.
Connecting so much stuff to the network was always crazy. Ditto computerizing so much, some yes, but as much as we have? Horribly risky.
I doubt we'll see a shift away from "everything's on the network!" because it's so incredibly beneficial to the surveillance state, but one can hope.
