Plateauing capabilities won't help

Seems likely that nation-state adversaries are already working to get their own copy of Anthropic Mythos.

As far as we can tell, the best LLMs out there are the commercial ones from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. At the very least, the US military got into a big argument with Anthropic because they were so desperate to have access to Anthropic's latest and greatest AI. I suppose it's possible the intelligence services have access to better stuff, either through their own clandestine programs or through access to developmental commercial systems. That's still a far cry from the biggest worry, which is that any decently financed criminal group can hack anything they want with LLM assistance. The situation isn't good- attacks look like they're going to get a lot easier, and software that isn't actively maintained and patched regularly is going to be very vulnerable- but it isn't quite the worst case.
