I uploaded a sample found here (https://github.com/alexct142010-cell/McBackuper ) to Genus Codes (need an account): https://genuscodes.com/results/7ad4b911d05a12f91ab27ba3baa35... Seems to be related to the disco trojan family, by way of normalized function matching at 50% to malicious file https://genuscodes.com/results/eddbc29db4677e00c1a901aadbadb... and a normalized 50% match to https://genuscodes.com/results/fdb6cff68a2a8c08779d64a7cf61d...

Formal methods is like a plan. Everyone has one until they are punched in the face (real world requirements and trust boundaries).

Gotta have a moat.

Agree. If this was this was just "look at what Fable could do quickly" that's fine. But saying it's free for now is funny. Anyone else could just make games they want to play locally for themselves and their friends now. And there are better ones online.

It's time to make truly open source frontier models that people can run at home. Code is free speech. We've been through this with encryption algorithms in the past.

I asked it to write security tests for an app and I was downgraded to Opus 4.8. I'm approved for their cyber program!

You should throw GPT into the mix to UX/UI and call it the three stooges.

My guess in the North East in the winter there will be similar stories.

LLMs are going to produce amazing Rube Goldberg style vulnerabilities for years to come. It's already starting, this instance isn't the case, but it's happening.

Count 1 and 2 makes sense. A good lawyer can get 3-5 thrown out in a plea deal.

Max x20 user here. As long as Opus 4.6 is available and they fix Opus 4.7, I'll stay with Anthropic. Tho, I'd imagine in 5 years we'll have Opus 4.6 equivalent performance available in an at home consumer model.

It's easier to produce vulnerable code than it is to use the same Model to make sure there are no vulnerabilities.

jp0001 — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 16:07:31 +0000

WTF. `Opus 4.7 is the first such model: its cyber capabilities are not as advanced as those of Mythos Preview (indeed, during its training we experimented with efforts to differentially reduce these capabilities). We are releasing Opus 4.7 with safeguards that automatically detect and block requests that indicate prohibited or high-risk cybersecurity uses. `

Seriously? You're degrading Opus 4.7 Cybersecurity performance on purpose. Absolute shit.

jp0001 — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 21:06:06 +0000

I'm starting to think that Opus and Mythos are the same model (or collection of models) whereas Mythos has better backend workflows than Opus 4.6. I have not used Mythos, but at work I have a 5 figure monthly token budget to find vulnerabilities in closed-source code. I'm interested in mythos and will use it when it's available, but for now I'm trying to reverse engineer how I can get the same output with Opus 4.6 and the answer to me is more tokens.

I took three weeks off from tech, read books from last century, and travelled Europe. Coming back, reading LLM generated content and code feels like nails on a chalkboard. Taste, it does not have taste.

Hold on. Cell towers still know where the device is. If a group of people in an area have stable ismi’s and one person’s ismi is rotating daily, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out who’s now using cape. Using it for travel makes sense, but again being a device that doesn’t a have an owner is, as the kids say, sus.

Mobile device updates are the worst for aging parents. These devices are getting more complex to use not easier, you shouldn't have to upend your life once a year because UX design choices forces you to miss what you think is important, how to find it, or disable/enable features you don't want or used to have.
