Mythos, Anthropic’s AI model, has sparked concerns about AI-driven cybercrime due to its reported ability to find numerous software vulnerabilities. However, cybersecurity experts confirm similar capabilities exist in existing AI models, achievable through sophisticated orchestration. While Mythos highlights the increasing scale of vulnerability discovery, the core threat is already present, intensifying the AI arms race between companies like Anthropic and OpenAI.

Influencers on short-form video platforms are exploiting anti-gaming sentiment by amplifying parental anxieties about video games and screen time. They position themselves as “family education experts” and sell expensive “internet addiction” programs, some costing upwards of $66,800 for seven days. Investigations reveal that these influencers often lack proper qualifications, raising concerns about the validity and ethics of their services and highlighting the exploitation of vulnerable parents.
