Chamath: Anthropic's Warning Is Pure Theater

We've spoken to officials across the US government and we've offered to work with them to assess the risks of these models and to help defend against the risks of these models. >> Chimath, is it the boy who cried wolf or is this the real deal? Now, >> I think it's mostly theater. In February of 2019, when Daario was still at OpenAI, they did the same thing with GPT2. That was a 1.5 billion parameter model, which sounds like a total fart in the wind in 2026. But at that time, this 1.5 billion parameter model was supposed to be the end of days. And at the end of it, it was a huge nothing burger. If you

actually think that mythos is capable of doing what it says it can do, two things are true. One is a very sophisticated hacker can probably do those things right now with Opus. And two, if these exploits are this easy to find, whether you use Opus or whether you use Mythos, the reality is you'd have to shut down the internet for about 5 years to patch them all. So when you see like a large multi-trillion dollar git bank, it's a bit of theater. Why? What do you think they can actually accomplish in 2 months? Do you actually think that if there's these vulnerabilities, it's all going to get fixed? Let's give them 6 months. Let's give them 9 months. So I

do think that Sax is right that they have figured out a very clever gotomarket muscle here that activates hyper attention and hyper usage and so I give them tremendous credit but we've seen it before we saw it when these folks were the principal architects at OpenAI who are now seeing the same playbook here. The reality is that capitalism moves forward, the funding needs moves forward, and the need for these guys to build adoption moves forward. And that's going to supersede what this
