CounterPunch: 'Putting the Calamity Makers in Charge' — Left Criticism of Anthropic Mythos Preview
CounterPunch·low signal
CounterPunch published 'Putting the Calamity Makers in Charge' on April 20, offering a sharp left critique of Anthropic's decision to develop Claude Mythos Preview and restrict access to ~50 organizations rather than not building it at all. The piece argues that the safety theater of 'responsible access' masks the fundamental recklessness of creating a model that can autonomously exploit zero-days. This represents the growing political polarization around frontier AI safety — criticism now comes from both the 'move faster' and 'don't build it' camps.
