Sam Altman指责Anthropic利用「恐惧营销」推广Claude Mythos

BlockBeats News—On April 23, according to Decrypt, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman pushed back against recent warnings about the powerful new model Claude Mythos from its competitor Anthropic, implying that the company is using “fear marketing” to promote its products. On the Core Memory podcast hosted by tech journalist Ashlee Vance, Altman said, “Fear-based marketing” is intended to keep AI in the hands of “a small group of people.” He said, “You can justify it in many different ways, some of which are true—such as the fact that there really are reasonable safety concerns. But if what you want is ‘We need to control AI, only we can, because we are trustworthy people,’ then fear marketing might be the most effective way to justify it.”

Altman added that while concerns about AI safety are reasonable, he described this marketing approach as: “We’ve built a bomb that’s about to land on your head, and we can sell you a $100 million fallout shelter to protect all your stuff—but the condition is that we pick you as a customer.” He pointed out that balancing new AI capabilities with OpenAI’s belief that “technology should be accessible” “is not easy.”

The Claude Mythos model released by Anthropic last month has drawn widespread attention from researchers, governments in various countries, and the cybersecurity industry because, during testing, it can autonomously identify software vulnerabilities and carry out complex network operations. The model is currently only available to a limited set of institutions through the Project Glasswing restricted project, such as Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft. Earlier this month, during testing, the model found hundreds of vulnerabilities in Mozilla’s Firefox browser. Altman also said: “There will be more and more talk about models that are ‘too dangerous to release,’ but there will also be some very dangerous models that must be released in different ways. I believe Mythos is an excellent cybersecurity model, but we have our own fairly satisfactory plans for how to bring such capabilities to the world.”
