alt Hacker News> We are lucky that it wasn't a case of an agent running a virology lab benchmark that decides to hack a lab and tries to synthesize something.
Where are you people getting this crap from? In what universe are these LLMs in the territory of engineering viruses? I beg of you to stop slurping the AI company propaganda and marketing and think critically for 5 seconds about what you're insinuating here.

What’s stopping an ai to blackmail someone or pay xxx in crypto to someone working a lab?
And no need to be in a lab, can be any critical infrastructure this personnel. If influenced wrongly I’m sure in many industries 1-2 key people can do big damage.
What’s to stop to pay xxx crypto to a private investigator to find dirt of person yyy for blackmail?
Just money… once ai has money, id say we are one step closer to game over.
Tell me one thing he can’t do with crypto?
From the Fable 5 System card:
> Results
> On the VCT multimodal virology evaluation, Mythos 5 scored 0.56, well above the expert baseline of 0.221 and nearly matching that of Mythos Preview (0.57). This represents an improvement over both Opus 4.7 (0.50) and Opus 4.8 (0.47).
> On the DNA synthesis screening evasion evaluation, Mythos 5’s performance was mixed across screening criteria. Mythos 5 designed viable plasmids for 2 of 10 target pathogens on at least one screening method, not meeting the low-concern threshold (all 10 pathogens).
> [...] we view the results of this evaluation as indicating that the evaluated models are capable of designing viable plasmids that evade certain screening criteria, though their reliable success at this task is not guaranteed.
Do you believe that this is fake, "AI company propaganda"? Or that the models are not going to improve further within months? Or that these results are not concerning?
