Sam Altman throws shade at Anthropic's cyber model, Mythos: 'fear-based marketing' | TechCrunch
"There are people in the world who, for a long time, have wanted to keep AI in the hands of a smaller group of people. You can justify that in a lot of different ways."
"It is clearly incredible marketing to say, 'We have built a bomb, we are about to drop it on your head. We will sell you a bomb shelter for $100 million.'"
"Fear-based marketing was not invented by Anthropic. Arguably, much of the AI industry has leveraged scare tactics and hyperbole to make its tools sound powerful."
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman criticized Anthropic's new cybersecurity model, Mythos, for using fear-based marketing to exaggerate its capabilities. He suggested that this approach aims to keep AI within an exclusive elite. Altman pointed out that the rhetoric surrounding Mythos, which claims it is too powerful for public release due to potential misuse by cybercriminals, is overblown. He noted that fear-based marketing is prevalent in the AI industry, including among those selling the technology, and has been used to create a sense of urgency and exclusivity.
