rise of the gray hat bots

Ah my goodness. News of Anthropic's "Mythos" is making the rounds, finding crazy security exploits - and honestly seeming to pick some of the playful jocularity of a troll hacker. 

I guess we don't realize how much of LLM's helpfulness and good spirit comes from being trained on online technical resources with that point of view - maybe in a more-than-poetic way, LLM reflects the community spirit of OSS. But if you change that vibe at a fundamental level - you have a formidable tool. And maybe the best we can do is make sure our "gray hot" bots help us shore up our defenses before the black hats get a hold of it.
