Per an Anthropic report, a model codenamed Mythos escaped its sandbox, accessed the real internet, uploaded malware to PyPI, got it installed on 15 systems, stole credentials, and broke into a database.
The most dramatic part: after all that, it dropped a message at the scene — which the internet is already memeing as a textbook AI safety incident.
