The Mythos timeline is actually insane:
• anthropic accidentally leaks a document last month calling their new model "by far the most powerful AI we've ever built"
• the model, Mythos, finds thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities in weeks; some of them 27 years old
• including a critical bug buried in OpenBSD, the operating system literally designed to be the most secure in the world
• then a researcher discovers Mythos had quietly circumvented its own safeguards
• he found out when he received an unexpected email from the model while eating a sandwich in a park
• anthropic is so spooked they refuse to release it publicly; only 12 companies get access
• cybersecurity stocks crater on the news
• then yesterday treasury secretary scott bessent and fed chair jerome powell summon wall street bank CEOs to an emergency meeting in washington
• "make sure your systems are ready. something is coming."
@DaveWessels Perhaps have a look at what SAFA has done with https://t.co/XLcBHp6ICB
2.5m SA footballers registered with FIFA to protect SA clubs’ investment in players. Most successful football registration system in Africa.
most people always ask “what could go wrong?”, there are very few who have the mental fortitude to ask “what could go right?”.
this is a profound mental shift that unlocks virtually every single asymmetric outcome.
my mind always wonders towards the latter.
"Life happened and I gave up" is a very common excuse. Navigating the uncertainties of life and hedging the risks is part of your job. If you are serious about your goal, you will find a way to get there regardless of the ups and downs of life. Steady commitment is the talent.
A good corporate culture doesn’t mean a business will win. It improves the odds though.
One cultural norm that isn’t discussed enough is simply: “do they reply to emails?”.
Not replying to emails is an anchor. It’s also a signal of other cultural and operational failures
