I’m a cybersecurity researcher.

Article seemed fine to me and echos a lot of me and my colleagues concerns.

If you did regular malware analysis you would see that these groups already have access to LLMs that they’re using for development.

What Anthropic is doing here is just hamstringing the good guys

I'm a cybersecurity researcher! Can you explain how Anthropic is just hamstringing the good guys?

[ofjcihen]

I did in my comment above.

You said these groups have access to LLMs. So what? Mythos/Fable are a step change above most LLMs. Responsibly limiting access and easing it up over time safely is the sane move.

How does it help?

[esafak]

By withholding it from bad actors.

[varispeed]

It withholds it from good actors (they cannot use it to harden their code against bad actors) and assumes bad actors don't have access to such tools anyway.
