"If critical infrastructure really is at risk, as Grieco suggests, then you would hope the US government is paying attention. (And right on cue, here’s a story from today about Iran successfully hacking US water and energy utilities.)

Awkwardly, though, the US government attempted to declare Anthropic a supply chain risk after it refused to modify its contract with the Pentagon to permit mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. A judge has blocked that designation from taking effect while the case is litigated.

Anthropic told me that before launching Project Glasswing, it briefed senior US government officials about Mythos’ capabilities, both offensive and defensive. That includes the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, which works with the industry to test new models and evaluate them for security risks.

The company told me it has signaled to the government that it is available to help the government with evaluating Mythos. But it’s not clear the government is taking Anthropic up on the offer.

A functioning government would take a strong interest in what Anthropic is up to here, if only out of self-preservation. We simply don’t know whether Project Glasswing will be enough to protect critical systems from being breached — and for how long."
