Isn't the answer to this obvious? Because you, I, and anyone else who isn't working for a big AI company cannot disable the guardrails, which is what made this possible. It doesn't mean old models weren't capable of it.

I don’t buy it. We are hearing a lot about Mythos capabilities now. If they existed a year ago they would have been trumpeted then.

Look, a lot of energy from third parties goes into demonstrating the maximally bad thing a model can do (and the standard response around here is always to throw shade on frontier capabilities).

It has nothing to do with the guardrails; Pliny jailbreaks those within hours. It has everything to do with task horizon coherence and overall IQ.

It’s simply revisionist IMO to claim this stuff was latent all along.
