FORTUNATELY THIS WAS ONLY A TEST OF THE COMPANY’S WEAPONS-GRADE LLM: Anthropic’s Mythos AI Cracked ‘Almost All’ US Classified Systems in Hours, NSA Chief Reportedly Said.

Anthropic’s most powerful artificial intelligence model reportedly breached ‘almost all’ US classified systems in a matter of hours, according to Senator Mark Warner, who says the head of the National Security Agency told him directly that the model had penetrated nearly every classified system it was tested against. The claim has not been publicly confirmed by any government agency.

Senator Mark Warner, vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on 11 June that General Joshua Rudd, who leads both the NSA and the Pentagon’s Cyber Command, told him directly that Anthropic’s Mythos model ‘broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours.’ The extent of the alleged breach and which specific systems were affected have not been publicly disclosed. Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment.

The warning emerged alongside an abrupt move by the Trump administration to block foreign access to Anthropic’s two most advanced models, Mythos and Fable.

STACY MCCAIN: Father’s Day: An Extremist Agenda. “One thing about the passage of time is that, as you grow older, you begin to notice the shift of values. What was once widely accepted — the expected social norms of your childhood — come to be viewed as quaint, old-fashioned or perhaps even barbaric.”

One of the things that I’ve noticed is that the shift in values over time isn’t a natural progression. It’s engineered, not organic.

ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: “The minute they think they have an opening, you’ll be demonized in the ugliest ways imaginable, your family and supporters will be harassed, and you’ll face a brutal primary against some unemployable twentysomething snotnose communist hand-picked by DSA casting and backed by millions in NGO money. This is your party now. So, why bother playing along anymore?”
