The moment that not releasing a model becomes more financially beneficial than releasing it, that's when AI becomes truly dangerous.
Between doomerism and marketing, the release or rather lack of, Claude Mythos is the first model that really spooked me. Not because of its capabilities, but because of the gatekeeping.
Yes, Anthropic is playing the good guys here, but what if they aren't? What if they gatekeep the next model to Mythos for their own benefit? They would pull so far ahead of society and other software companies, would acquire so much power (through hacking) and money (through arbitrage and trading strategies in the financial markets), that the next model might be the final frontier. The AI 2027 vision doesn't look so distant after all.
