alt Hacker News> I don't interpret it like that at all. This is deeply embarrassing for Anthropic: it turns out they hadn't been keeping a close eye on their models either, and back in April they successfully attacked three different organizations!
This just helps their (Anthropic) argument into persuading the US government into taking action into limiting powerful closed or open-weight models from being released without going through (yet to be defined) regulatory oversight.
The only "embarrassing" thing for Anthropic was that there was little to no continuous security monitoring of this since April, and they then decided to do a cybersecurity transcript review only AFTER the incident with OpenAI and Huggingface.

They also gave access to Mythos (the Mythos) to some companies, based on... vibes.
Who knows how these companies are using it. If Anthropic can't effectively contain their own models, can the partners?
While the rest of us get fallbacks and warnings, not even being able to defend against the attacks they themselves are causing.
Do we really have to re-learn all the industry's knowledge the hard way?
Anthropic know better than anyone else how risky it is to get this current administration upset with you over safety/security concerns.
