Also, to the surprise of precisely nobody who's been paying any damn
attention to the "AI" playbook, it turns out the whole "found a million
zillion super-complicated bugs, but they live in Canada, you wouldn't
know them, also we totally *do* have an everything-proof-shield-proof-
sword and a real actual wizard staff that does magic, but they're in
the treehouse and you're not allowed up there" report is, to put it
politely, massively overstated PR hoopla:

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/anthropics-claude-mythos-isnt-a-sentient-super-hacker-its-a-sales-pitch-claims-of-thousands-of-severe-zero-days-rely-on-just-198-manual-reviews

...which will doubtless come as a *total* surprise to everyone who's
spent the last three years parroting everything Dario Amodei says un-
questioned, immediately forgetting about any given claim when the next
one farts out of his mouth, and never bothering to go back and check
whether any of his apocalyptic Real Soon Now predictions turned out to
be ludicrous bullshit (spoiler: the answer is "very much yes.")

Meanwhile, the money's already drying up, datacenters are behind
schedule or not even started, the big players have already started on
the "service gets worse" stage of enshittification, OpenAI just killed
its most cost-intensive service mere months after announcing a billion-
dollar deal with Disney for it, and its CFO was making uncomfortable
noises about their prospects for an IPO (which would involve opening
the books for public inspection) before getting the vaudeville hook.

All very healthy and normal!
