Is Anthropic's Latest AI Too Dangerous?

Anthropic's latest AI, Mythos, is so powerful that they aren't releasing it to the public. They are just making it available to other software companies because it can easily find security bugs. In fact, it found security holes, some over 20 years old, in every operating system and web browser. They are hoping that companies can use it to patch flaws before other AIs are powerful enough to help hackers. An interesting this is that the government may not like Anthropic from sharing it with companies, since the government collects flaws so that they can hack enemy systems.

I'm Sick of "We're AI First!"

I'm sick and tired of all these "me too" companies that say "We're AI First!"

This is like a construction company saying "We're hammer first!" Yeah, so? If I need to hire a construction company, I don't want one that sees everything as a nail problem.

AI is revolutionary and important, but it's a tool. It needs to be used properly and in context.

I am now focused on Executive Coaching and Advising

Hi, I just wanted to let all my contacts know that my consulting practice has shifted in the last year. Instead of strategic consulting, I have shifted to executive coaching and advising, for both entrepreneurs and leaders in organizations. I help them dramatically grow their businesses and careers. I advise them in areas such as setting strategy, planning, execution, clear communication, and decision-making.

This change was driven by my clients. They found that hiring me for advice was more valuable for them then hiring me for consulting and, consequently, started referring more people for coaching and advising. I also found that I really enjoy it, and find it rewarding to help others become more successful.

If you know of anyone who might benefit from executive coaching and advising, please have them contact me. I'll be happy to have a short (20 minute) zoom call with them, to see if we would benefit from working together. Thanks!
