Mythos is Coming - How to Deal With it

DIdi, Lital and Leia open with a wide-ranging sports update (World Cup, the Patriots signing A.J. Brown and hopes for adding Stefon Diggs, Stanley Cup excitement, NBA comebacks, and critiques of Boston teams’ performance and decision-making). They then discuss Anthropic’s Mythos frontier model, which was delayed after consultation with the US government due to concerns it could rapidly uncover code vulnerabilities at scale; it was first released to select “Glasswing” organizations and later to the public with claimed restrictions. DD describes Mythos as highly autonomous, memory-enabled, and “token hungry,” able to perform extensive research and brute-force testing with minimal prompting. They warn of a “patching apocalypse” as vulnerability discovery rates surge, urging CISOs—especially in hospitals and infrastructure-heavy environments—to plan for continuous, cheap patching via redundancy, improved deployment architecture, and vendor coordination, and to consider cloud services like AWS to offload patching where possible.   Topics 00:34 Quick Sports Update 04:36 Boston Teams Reality Check 06:45 What Is Mythos 09:22 Mythos in Real Workflows 11:36 Memory Skills and Token Costs 13:54 Cyber Risk and Patch Apocalypse 15:28 How CISOs Should Prepare 20:45 Redundancy and Upgrade Architecture 22:33 Inevitable CVE Flood 25:26 Services and Jobs Shift 27:30 Plan Cloud and Re Architect 28:58 Wrap Up and Subscribe
