> One would think Anthropic could point Mythos at this to solve the reseller problem outright

You're assuming Anthropic want to stop it.

I think it serves their interests more to be able to release stories like this from time to time, to feed to the US government, in an attempt to get the Chinese competition shut down.

No, it more likely serves their IPO story with growth metrics.

One doesn't ban a large chunk of the user base before IPO, because "Well, if you dig into the numbers and discount the drop from banned accounts..." is less impressive than rocketship growth (even if fraudulently fueled).

Expect more effective measures to be deployed post-IPO.
