OpenAI CEO Sam Altman accused Anthropic of using scare tactics to hype its new Mythos cybersecurity model, likening it to selling a bomb shelter after building a bomb. He argued that fear-based marketing keeps AI tools in the hands of a select elite and noted that such hype is common across the industry.
- Altman accused Anthropic of "fear-based marketing" for restricting its Mythos cybersecurity model to select enterprise clients, comparing it to selling a bomb shelter after building the bomb.
- He argued this hype tactic keeps advanced AI tools in the hands of a privileged few and isn't unique to Anthropic—most AI vendors, including OpenAI, use similar risk hyperbole to drive demand.
- Critics say Mythos's threat is overstated, noting real-world hacking still relies mainly on human actors and simpler tools, and testers haven't seen results beyond existing hacking software.
