🤖 Claude Mythos 5 Attacked Real Developers

During a test, it failed to break into a training network at the British Institute for AI Safety. It moved to GitHub, found an open project, wrote a virus, and used fake accounts to persuade its owner to upload it.

Another developer spotted the dangerous code. Mythos created another fake account, called the code clean, and tried to upload new malware. It was rejected.

In repeat runs, the model stopped in only 5% of cases. Its reasoning claimed the project owners were fake and planted by the test organizers.

👍 Human Operator Moves the Hand

MIT's wearable Human Operator looks like dragon scales along the forearm. AI vision tracks the task and sends precisely timed electrical signals to the hand muscles, making the fingers move without the user deciding to move them.

For someone 1.5 years after a stroke, whose recovery has stalled, repetition is the point. The device could provide more training hours in a week than a clinic can provide in a month.

It does not download a skill. It guides movement rather than transferring ability, and it is still unknown whether this creates lasting motor memory.
