In this Fully-Connected episode, Dan and Chris start with Anthropic's Mythos
frontier model, parsing what is publicly known about its cybersecurity
capabilities and projecting its possible implications from "We've been here
before. 🙄" to "See ya, cybersecurity! 😱" It's the end of the world as we know
it, and I feel fine. 🙃
Then they have fun with the craziest AI announcement of the year (except for the
Mythos one of course). Allbirds pivots from shoe manufacturing 👟 to neocloud
provider ☁️. No, we didn't see that one coming either! 🙈
They finish with rise of “tokenmaxxing” - the gamification 🎮 of writing code
with maximum LLM usage. Incredibly profitable 💰 for commercial frontier model
providers and insanely expensive 🤑 for the gamers. Better have 10X
productivity just to avoid bankruptcy!
