“ Criminals are lazy, and if you have money they will come for you,” Chet says.“ The easiest way to get in is the thing that they are going to do.”
Does Mythos prove Linus’ Law? Unlike many in the industry, Chet doesn’ t seem all that impressed with Anthropic’ s world class model. His initial reaction to hearing the news of Mythos and its prowess being summed up in two words –“ So what?”. While he notes that his stance on the topic has since evolved, Chet says:“ It’ s not doing anything that humans weren’ t doing before, it’ s just doing it faster and more thoroughly.” Referring to Linus’ Law – named in honour of the founder of the Linux OS – he states that“ given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow”. The argument here is that open source projects should be more secure than proprietary systems, simply by virtue of the number of expert eyes looking at it. Chet notes that this was never true, because there weren’ t enough eyes and those that were present, were not all that effective at looking. cybermagazine. com 25
