Questions about Mythos
I’ve heard a lot about Mythos over the past few days. This article raises some questions about Anthropic’s claims.
These claims could be legitimate but it wouldn’t be the first time an AI company made bold statements a model’s performance that were found to be flawed after a period of time. The AI industry is moving so fast it is difficult to keep up at times but stories like this show that taking a step back is valuable.
Mythos sounds impressive and may very well be a major step forward. I don’t know that for sure. All I have to go on are scare stories coming from Anthropic and Project Glasswing. I won’t be able to tell for sure until it has been released and I can test it out.
Interesting read about using smaller, cheaper models for cybersecurity analysis.
Loved this video from Hank Green going through some of the photos from the Artemis II mission.

The images from the Artemis II lunar flyby are spectacular.
When I saw this originally, I thought it was an April Fool’s joke but it turns out it’s accurate. From the Microsoft Copilot Terms of Use:

I was discussing whether to try out Code Review from Anthropic with a colleague earlier this week. It may still need some more work.

Chris Silverman makes some incredible artwork using just the drawing tools on Apple Notes. Amazing creativity. Hat tip to Clive Thompson and his newsletter, The Linkfest, for sharing this.
Win11Debloat is a handy script for removing bloatware and telemetry from Windows 11. It has added a GUI to make the process easier. Another recommendation from Paul Thurrott on Hands-On Windows on TWiT.
GitHub are changing their data usage policies.
From April 24 onward, interaction data—specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context—from Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ users will be used to train and improve our AI models unless they opt out.
I stumbled across the Kickstarter for the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab. It looks intriguing but I’m skeptical of the price. Considering how expensive everything has gotten it looks to be incredible value. It’ll be interesting to see how they get on.
This is a good blog where Josh W. Comeau goes through a cool trick with the header on his website.
