[Sam Altman Criticizes Anthropic for Promoting Claude Mythos with 'Fear-Based Marketing,' Sparking AI Safety Controversy] Odaily Planet Daily reports that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that competitor Anthropic has adopted a 'fear-based marketing strategy' in promoting its new model, Claude Mythos, potentially exaggerating related safety risk warnings. Sam Altman pointed out that emphasizing the potential dangers of AI helps justify 'control of AI by a few institutions.' While some safety concerns do exist, overhyping risks itself is also an effective marketing tactic. Previously, Claude Mythos garnered widespread attention for its ability to autonomously discover software vulnerabilities and simulate complex cyberattacks. Anthropic is currently offering limited testing access to a few institutions, including Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft. Overall, this incident highlights the growing divide in the AI industry between the 'safety-first' and 'open development' approaches. (Decrypt)
