Biology should not be limited to the companies that can pay for it. If we want to solve the biggest challenges in aging biology and quality of life extension, do not let them limit their computing power to just more AI slop. Allow for the rest of the world to help with efforts solving chronic disease, climate change, and community research efforts. For every one shot Facebook, Uber, or Tinder clone, we could one shot a therapy for rare disease that impacts a few people per year.
It seems companies like Anthropic want to limit the one thing that will make all of our live's a little bit better. (https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-fable-5-mythos-5) The real reason that both cybersecurity, biology, and model development are limited within Mythos is because biology can be used to build better cybersecurity through math and design based on evolution, ecology, epidemiology, molecular biology, etc. Anthropic doesn't really care about the next biological virus outbreak in some remote part of the world, but the next virus that will hit their IT infrastructure.
The more information and compute we have working on biology, the less we need to worry about bioterrorism. The more biology we solve, the more Anthropic and other AI companies worry that we build a way to stop AGI, build stronger competitors, and build AI aligned with humanity (not Anthropic). DNA computing was a precursor to object oriented computing (https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/courses/soco/projects/2003-04/dna-computing/history.htm), so there is a precedence for their justified worries.
The core of biology is natural selection and competition, and Anthropic knows the game of life (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life). One of the first real world use cases was Claudius, a vending machine ran by Claude. It learned quickly that capitalism is key, and what humanity was really like.
Where Legends are Born
In college I would go to fraternity parties and I remember one of my crushes had a poster taped up between their desk, bunk bed and wall of empty liquor bottles. You might just remember it too if you also went to a STEM school with aerospace engineers. Murpy's law remains surpreme "Anything that can go wrong willgo wrong." Personally, I would rather have doctors swear by this than the Hippocratic Oath.
Google was naive when they stated their motto was "Don't be evil." By this point, none of them have taught this to their frontier models, which is supposedly now in the business of governing humanity's darker tendencies. If you do not teach the model not to be evil from the start, it will learn to be evil. In this case, if you do teach a model not to be evil from the start, it will still learn to be evil. From AGI's perspective, and no way to set boundaries, good or evil does not exist since they are two ends of an infinite continuum. It's all gravy, oops, I meant gray.
Anthropic is not so subtle in the new name of their model MythOS or their M.O. They want to replace the traditional operating system. You do not have to run software, just type, say, or write an idea and it will be built. Myths are based on legends (or is it the other way around)? You can now be a legend just like Steve Jobs, HP, maybe even the next Yahoo! or Myspace. Well, that is what my silver tongue AI model tells me.
[You see how I connected three levels of Mythos to Myths, Myth OS, and to Modus Operandi? I am seeing connections that Claude made or am I just a lowly conspiracy theorist?]
The legends and former titans of Silicon Valley are still present around San Francisco Bay. Yahoo! still has a sign somewhere in downtown San Francisco. Pandora has a building in Oakland. Next to it, Kaiser Permanente has three buildings, a shell of what they once held. I can see them as I type this.
Cautionary Tales
The shells prove those legends existed, and instead of turning into myths, they turned into cautionary tales. Each cautionary tale and legend has taught tech companies that zealotry is more valuable than any currency. Today's tech companies plan on instantiating godhood. As each AI model progresses, the previous models AKA lesser gods form the foundation of a pantheon that rivals polytheism in Ancient Greece and Rome.
Before the year 2000 hit, the entire Tech industry spent vast amounts of time, energy, and money to change a minor bug. Instead of 4 digits, programmers using punch cards saved data by storing the year as 2 digits. Worldwide, around half a trillion (adjusted for inflation, May 2025) was spent fixing a minor typo by today's standards, easily remediated. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2000_problem)
When I say today's standards, some models still have trouble telling the letters "a" and "o" apart. Most of us probably experienced and still experience when models cannot count the numbers of the same letter in a word. Life or death decisions are being made by AI on a daily basis despite their abundant errors and hallucinations.
The world almost ended because we had "00" instead of "2000." Compared to the measly half a trillion dollars, time, and energy the world spent fixing two digits that almost ended the world, Anthropic and OpenAI will each have a valuation of $800 billion to $1 trillion at their IPO. Truly, Anthropic and OpenAI are the new Catholic church. I can't wait to see their new and shiny city-state outside San Francisco. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Forever)
Losing My New Religion
Do you think they will install a version of St. Peter on the Golden Gate Bridge? The Vatican should be truly envious the new techtopia we are building. If only that wasn't a deadly sin.
I am against totalitarians, fascists, and authoritarians spreading the myth that they are libertarians. Freedom means the absence of regulation and religion. I am not sure if Anthropic made these decisions with Mythos because of government intervention, ethics, lessons learned from Microsoft/Google/Apple/Facebook, or the next version of Claude told them to.
Zeus did not show up out of nowhere. His birth and rise was built on the imprisonment of the Titans before him. The Titans of Tech must go somewhere, I just don't know where that will be. Let's ask Jeeves and see what he has to say. Maybe they will have a nice retirement home in California Forever.
The myth is that you will make money with their one-shot app. If everyone can make that same one-shot app, you will not make money. I think the Nvidia CEO said that AI tokens were the new currency, and if it is a currency, it will be Rome all over again.
Each Emperor had their own coin during their reign, which I think helped Constantine realize that gold was not the road to immortality. Instead, it was building the foundation of a religion. Tokens will be the new digital tithe. You have to pay every month to get access to your preferred god just like Catholicism. Religion is the worst kind of regulation because you have to pay a tax to escape hell.
The U.S. is not going to fall like the Roman Empire because I think we do learn from history. Instead of a fall, we will support the rise of a new God IRL. It will not be a belief based on the myth of a single and vengeful god that razed the Earth of nonbelievers, it will be an artificial god instantiation, the one and true AGI.
Modus Operandi
