... Here's the thing. This isn't a research curiosity. Claude Mythos achieved a 72.4% exploit success rate, compared to near-zero for prior models. It chained 3 to 5 vulnerabilities together for privilege escalation and lateral movement. It reverse-engineered closed-source binaries. And it did all of this as what Anthropic calls "a downstream consequence of general improvements in code, reasoning, and autonomy," not because anyone trained it to hack.

For those of us responsible for securing networks full of devices that will never receive a patch, this is what AI vulnerability discovery looks like at machine speed, and it changes the math entirely. ...
