More breathless, but vague praise for #Mythos. Now #mozilla's CTO has come out with a detail-free, hyperbole-laden blog post.

I can't get anything below the surface level on this blog post. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

  • The blog post itself contains no links or references (except a link to a prior blog post)
  • The Firefox 150 release notes has zero mentions of #Claude, #Anthropic, or Mythos.
  • The security advisories in Firefox 150 lists 41 bugs
    • Anthropic is credited exactly 3 times.
    • The blog post says This week’s release of Firefox 150 includes fixes for 271 vulnerabilities identified during this initial evaluation
    • it is not clear why the blog says 271, the release lists 41 issues, and only 3 acknowledge Anthropic
  • I've tried looking on Mozilla's bugzilla and I have no access to any bug that is named in those release notes. I can't even see the conversation, much less the code change.

How is someone supposed to put this blog post's claims into context?

@feld No. I haven’t seen ANYTHING written by someone whose fingers interacted with it. Read closely. Anthropic used Mythos. Not wolfSSL. All we (or they) get to see is the result.

In the original Mythos blog, Anthropic hired top security contractors for like 4 months to vet and write up 198 results. Like so many other AI things, they do not make clear the boundary between human and machine. They want you to think the machine did everything by itself. They leave out details.
