Three reasons to think that the Claude Mythos announcement from Anthropic was overblown No need to panic just yet

So Claude was more myth than menace. A polished demo, but not the paradigm shift the headlines promised....

I really It's kinda weird how the "The left hates technology (because AI)" mostly come from people whose experience with tech is on the level of vibecoding and the "left" they criticize consists to a significant part of people who've been actually building and maintaining systems for decades.

There's a constant AI-washing of terms so these companies can claim they're solving a problem that doesn't exist with AI. Static analysis/formal methods also put forward suggestions, have they even used these tools?
Claude Code may also generate up to 90% insecure code (arxiv.org/pdf/2512.03262).

As a formal methods PhD, it's embarrassing for Anthropic to incorrectly describe static analysis in their Claude Code Security announcement. Security and formal methods engineers already have data "reasoning" tools, this isn't the bottleneck, false positives, which LLMs absolutely have, is.

Exclusive: Pentagon clashes with Anthropic over military AI use, sources say The Pentagon is at odds with artificial-intelligence developer Anthropic over safeguards that would prevent the government from deploying its technology to target weapons autonomously and conduct U.S....

If flawed and inaccurate LLMs are instrumented in AWS by replacing humans for decision making, then "wars" may as well be indiscriminate lethal campaigns. Anthropic's position also isn't a moral high ground given their AI-DSS uses w/ Palantir, where automation bias may lead to similar outcomes.

I have to give Anthropic credit for recognizing that deploying unreliable AI in AWS is not strategic for the future of AI. But there's a very fine line between DSS and AWS in practice due to automation bias, if they don't believe it's reliable for the latter, it's not reliable for the former either.

What should we take from Anthropic’s (possibly) terrifying new report on Mythos? Not many facts are on the ground, but here are some starting points for sober thinking

It seems that the rise of Skynet is still not imminent. As usual @garymarcus.bsky.social is spot on

KI‑optimisme er ikke en strategi og kritisk tenkning er en demokratisk nødvendighet. Uvitenskapelige påstander om at "KI" er en uunngåelig revolusjon må aldri få overdøve spørsmålene om makt, verdier og hvem som egentlig tjener på utviklingen. #KIdebatt #HøyereUtdanning

Paper Finds That Leading AI Chatbots Like ChatGPT and Claude Remain Incredibly Sycophantic, Resulting in Twisted Effects on Users A study found that sycophancy is pervasive among chatbots, and that bots are more likely than human peers to affirm a person's bad behavior.

"Sometimes, in other words, you need to be told that you’re wrong. As it stands, AI can’t reliably do that." Especially given that "AI" is not a single tool or technology, but rather a catch‑all label for a whole assortment of non‑thinking systems engineered by humans

On Brian Cantwell Smith and the Promise of AI Today I had the bittersweet pleasure of participating in a symposium honoring the late philosopher Brian Cantwell Smith, a good friend whom I’d known for over 30 years.

"Today’s LLM chatbots can talk about themselves, their beliefs and desires, but they don’t actually have any, since they don’t have a “self” for which anything is at stake."

Good read from @melaniemitchell.bsky.social

"CEO Said A Thing!" Journalism "CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion.

AI does not exist! - Centric Insights When is something Generative AI (GenAI), and when is something Machine Learning (ML)? When is something AI at all?

AI er ikke én ting – og kanskje finnes det egentlig ikke slik vi snakker om det. Denne artikkelen forklarer hvorfor «AI» bare er et paraplybegrep, hvordan definisjonen stadig flytter seg, og hva som egentlig skiller ML, deep learning, GenAI og LLM-er.

Screenshot of an article from BNN Bloomberg. The headline reads: All Big Six Canadian banks now backing proposed defence bank.

Canada is ready to lead this effort.

The Defence, Security and Resilience Bank will provide low-cost financing for critical defence projects in participating countries. By pooling credit strength, we’ll build our military capacity and create good jobs across our defence sectors.

Ingen skal si at NRK sine medarbeidere - som @nrkesp1.bsky.social - ikke gjør en solid jobb. Men før debattprogram om "KI" iverksettes bør en kanskje først forstå at "KI" er et kontroversiellt sekkebegrep og ikke et mystisk system som plutselig har dukket opp

The man who wants to invade Greenland and constantly threatens and insults Europe asks for Europe’s help in a war he didn’t warn Europe about and planned so badly that it allowed him to waive sanctions on Russia, against European interests.

Ukraine is turning humour into a weapon — using memes and satire to lift morale and expose Russian disinformation. A sharp reminder that wit can be as powerful as any battlefield tool.
