  • Anthropic Mythos shaping up as nothingburger

    Jump

  • This is the meat of the headline:

    For example, the Anthropic-claimed 181 Firefox exploits ran with the browser sandbox turned off and the FreeBSD exploit transcript "shows substantial human guidance, not autonomy." 

    Additionally, the "'thousands of severe vulnerabilities' extrapolates from 198 manually reviewed reports. The Linux kernel bug was found by Opus 4.6, the public model, not Mythos," Devansh said.

    Another researcher, Davi Ottenheimer, pointed out that the security section (Section 3, pages 47-53) of Anthropic's 244-page documentation "contains no count of zero-days at all. With no CVE list, no CVSS distribution, no severity bucket, no disclosure timeline, no vendor-confirmed-novel table, no false-positive rate."

    Ottenheimer likens it to "the ending of the Wizard of Oz, a sorry disappointment about a model weaponizing two bugs that a different model found, in software the vendor had already patched, in a test environment with the browser sandbox and defense-in-depth mitigations stripped out."

  • He's talking about a physical object, something you have on your desk that you can pick up and prove your identity to the person on the other end of the video call.

    Reminds me of the 'totems' in Inception, except they were to prove to yourself you were not in a dream.

  • ‘The danger and value of water are in my blood’: how rain fences are making Dutch homes more climate resilient

    Jump

  • I think all these measures are designed to slow the flow, spread the storage of the rain across more places so it can cope with the larger downfall in the short-term, buying time for it all to flow away once it has passed.

    There are similar ideas in UK with reintroduction of beavers who transform land into spongey floodplains that can tolerate much more rainfall before spilling over.

  • ONLYOFFICE flags license violations in “Euro-Office” project

    Jump

  • I assume they hope that their added license condition of an 'obligation to retain the original product logo' is a 'reasonable...author attribution' (AGPL section 7b). Hmm.

    They invite the FSF to judge:

    If FSF determines that our license and project align with AGPLv3, we will continue as an open-source initiative. However, if the decision goes against us, we are ready to consider other options.

    Speaking to MPs, science minister Patrick Vallance said that the government's deals with Palantir – which has large contracts with the NHS and the Ministry of Defence – would be done differently in the future, instead emphasizing investment in UK technology and companies.
