I don't know how you can read the report and the companies involved and dismiss this as hot air. What incentive does the Linux Foundation have to hype up Mythos? What about Apple?

How can you read the description of the exploits and be like "yeah that's nbd?"

And the only reason OSS has ever caught up is because they simply distill Claude or GPT. The day the big players make it hard to distill (like Anthropic is doing here), OSS is cooked.

And that's a good thing, why would you want random skiddie hackers to have access to a cyber super weapon?

No, that’s a terrible thing and random skiddie hackers absolutely should. This is only a temporary state of insecurity as these vulnerability scanners come online.

If this stuff is open source and not gate kept, it will be standard practice to just run some LLM security analysis on every commit and software will no longer be vulnerable to these classes of attacks.

Your "just a temporary state of insecurity" results in literal dead bodies on the ground unless defenders have a chance to front-run.

Keeping it behind closed doors also results in literal dead bodies on the ground. This isn’t the first time vulnerabilities have been hoarded and it never works out well for the greater good despite the original good intentions.
