The Conversation published this warning from privacy/tech law/electronic surveillance attorney Anne Toomey McKenna (also an affiliated faculty member at Penn State's Institute for Computational and Data Sciences).

[Перевод] Знакомство с одним прогоном Mythos применительно к Firefox: а разговоров-то было?

Когда компания Anthropic анонсировала свою большую языковую модель Mythos , на первый взгляд этот инструмент произвёл неиллюзорное впечатление, а кого-то и всерьёз озаботил. Но, вчитавшись в материалы о Mythos, замечаешь, что общественный отклик не столь однозначен, как броские заголовки.
