A second-rack bagel that's nearly first-rack. Tasty stuff.
Summary
The article discusses Mythos, an AI system that demonstrates exceptional capabilities in cybersecurity despite not being specifically trained for it. The author argues that Mythos's ability to chain together multiple low and medium vulnerabilities to create high or critical ones - a task performed by less than 1% of cybersecurity experts - demonstrates its superior general capabilities. The article suggests that if Mythos can perform such advanced cybersecurity work, it will likely excel at other knowledge work tasks like email communication, analysis, and report writing.
