Anthropic's recent safety warnings about its newest AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, amount to "theater," billionaire tech investor Chamath Palihapitiya said. "Creating fear porn and crying wolf does not serve the AI industry well," Palihapitiya wrote on X on April 13. He added the company may need "a few circumspect adults in the room." Anthropic announced on April 7 it would not release Mythos Preview publicly, but it launched limited-access program Project Glasswing the same day, giving select partners early access to the model to identify and patch vulnerabilities in critical software. The remarks follow a broader debate on the "All-In Podcast" and on X, where former White House AI czar and venture capitalist David Sacks questioned whether Anthropic's cautious approach to Mythos amounted to the AI industry's "boy who cried wolf."

Anthropic described Claude Mythos Preview as a highly capable general-purpose model with advanced coding and reasoning abilities. In testing, the model identified thousands of high-severity zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and web browser, including bugs believed to be decades old, the company said. Anthropic added that these capabilities could strengthen cybersecurity defenses but may also carry risks if misused. The company's messaging comes as the company continues to expand adoption while emphasizing safety considerations. The company is providing access to roughly 50 organizations, including Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, GOOGL)), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), through the limited-access Project Glasswing program. Trending: The Smartphone Disruptor Turning App Time Into Income Opens $0.50/Share Pre-IPO Round With Limited Bonus Share Access On the "All-In Podcast" last week, Palihapitiya compared the framing around Mythos to the 2019 reaction to OpenAI's GPT-2, a 1.5 billion parameter model that was then portrayed as potentially catastrophic but now sees as trivial in hindsight. "If you actually think that Mythos is capable of doing what it says it can do, two things are true," he said. "One is, a very sophisticated hacker can probably do those things right now with Opus. And two, if these exploits are this easy to find… the reality is you'd have to shut down the internet for about five years to patch them all." Palihapitiya also questioned the timeline for partner access. "What do you think they can actually accomplish in two months? Do you actually think that if there's these vulnerabilities, it's all going to get fixed?" he said. "Let's give them six months, let's give them nine months."

On the "All-In Podcast," co-host Jason Calacanis asked whether Anthropic's cautious approach to Claude Mythos amounted to the AI industry's "Boy Who Cried Wolf" moment. Sacks acknowledged the pattern of past alerts but said the industry still has "no choice but to take this seriously" given the potential cyber risks.
