Anthropic’s Restraint Is a Terrifying Warning Sign

I am wondering if D code safety could make it the prominent
programming language in the future.
If this article is not click bait, then its message is quite
concerning.

The good news is that Anthropic discovered in the process of
developing Claude Mythos that the A.I. could not only write
software code more easily and with greater complexity than any
model currently available, but as a byproduct of that capability,
it could also find vulnerabilities in virtually all of the
world’s most popular software systems more easily than before.
The bad news is that if this tool falls into the hands of bad
actors, they could hack pretty much every major software system
in the world, including all those made by the companies in the
consortium.
This is not a publicity stunt. In the run-up to this
announcement, representatives of leading tech companies have been
in private conversation with the Trump administration about the
implications for the security of the United States and all the
other countries that use these now vulnerable software systems,
technologists involved told me.
For good reason. As Anthropic said in its written statement on
Tuesday, in just the past month, “Mythos Preview has already
found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities, including some
in every major operating system and web browser. Given the rate
of A.I. progress, it will not be long before such capabilities
proliferate, potentially beyond actors who committed to deploying
them safely. The fallout — economics, public safety and national
security — could be severe.
