Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia was talking a couple of weeks ago about Anthropic\u2019s artificial intelligence \u201cMythos model.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Warner said,\u00a0\u201cThis tool broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks but in hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hmmm.<\/p>\n

An artificial intelligence system can break into almost all of the United States\u2019 classified systems in hours.<\/p>\n

That sounds pretty dangerous.<\/p>\n

Am I permitted to ask a follow-up question?<\/p>\n

How does the Mythos model do when you ask it to focus on the North Korean, Iranian, Russian, or Chinese classified systems?<\/p>\n

From the sound of things, you could give some spook a couple of days with the Mythos model and all of North Korea\u2019s nukes would be disabled.\u00a0The Middle East wouldn\u2019t have to worry about Iranian ballistic missiles, because none of them would fly.<\/p>\n

Right?<\/p>\n

Am I missing something?<\/p>\n

I mean, if the problem is that our computer doesn\u2019t speak Persian, that could surely be solved.<\/p>\n

Maybe the computer doesn\u2019t speak Persian now.<\/p>\n

But slightly adjust the large language model, and the computer does speak Persian \u2026 now.<\/p>\n

Are the systems the U.S. government uses to protect its classified documents so inferior to the systems used by other countries that Mythos can crack our systems, but not theirs?<\/p>\n

If so, shame on us.<\/p>\n

But just juice the AI somehow, and set it to work.<\/p>\n

Think about it:\u00a0We don\u2019t have to worry about the Russian nuclear arsenal, because we\u2019ve set AI to work disabling it.\u00a0We don\u2019t have to worry about the Chinese stealing our intellectual property, because all of the thieving software has been disabled.\u00a0In fact, maybe we could start stealing Chinese IP for building electric vehicles, and solar panels, and robotics, and the like.<\/p>\n

Shoot!\u00a0Maybe AI could figure out how to make the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue again.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just a silly clown at a keyboard, typing away out here in the cheap seats.<\/p>\n

But if I\u2019ve had this thought…<\/p>\n
