The author argues that Mythos, though not trained for cybersecurity, outperforms experts by chaining vulnerabilities and excels across all knowledge work tasks. Companies will soon replace human workers with cheaper, more productive AI, forcing a major shift in how we work and demanding a rethink of our future roles.

• Mythos can chain low/medium vulnerabilities into critical exploits, a feat fewer than 1% of human pentesters achieve, despite not being purpose-built for cybersecurity.
• Its general knowledge-work abilities (emails, analysis, reports) suggest cybersecurity skill is just a side effect of broader competence.
• Open-source models nearing Mythos's capability at under $1,000 will make AI vastly cheaper than a $84,000/year employee while producing 10-1000x more output.
• This cost gap will trigger widespread white-collar job displacement, demanding urgent retraining, policy, and safety-net planning even as it opens space for more meaningful, non-corporate work.
