None of what you've said is untrue. And if this was an internal report to an executive, I'd agree with it. But this is a public statement and I'm more inclined to believe that this is part of a coordinated run up to a move to ban the import of 'dangerous' Chinese AI models -- or something else equally self serving -- than a simple statement of truth.

I don't doubt that they found some evidence of AI use. I'm just skeptical that the amount and strength of evidence has anything to do with their making this statement.

I've been thinking about why the AI companies are making so much use of fear based marketing. And I'm wonder if it isn't just naked Machiavellianism at work.

For a long time tech companies were forced to compete for power by being the most loved (or at least not the most hated). But now they've found an avenue to cultivate fear.

i’m inclined to agree. it sounds like yet another attempt at regulatory capture. keep anyone else from developing or using models including open weight models

Anthropic has fallen behind with Opus 4.7 a downgrade from 4.6, and codex 5.5 being noticably better. Everyone I know (which is an obviously small, biased sample) has switched over to codex. So Anthropic can fear monger about Mythos all they want, they're losing revenue because they haven't released it and their competitor is getting that revenue. But that's looking at individual players in the market.
