Has the OPNsense team applied for Claude Mythos access yet?

[brendacruiz]

Hello everyone,
I've been running OPNsense quietly for ~4 years with zero complaints — it simply works perfectly.
Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I need to ask directly:
With all the talk about Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview and Project Glasswing, has anyone from the OPNsense team or Foundation applied for access yet? Or do we think it's all hype/scam?
Would be great to hear from the devs and the community.
Thanks!

Not on your radar at the moment.


Cheers,
Franco

Is this account a mythos or a mythos bot? :-O

[franco]

This post isn't so bad but the other reply makes it look like marketing bot.

See https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=51577.0 about how pretty much everyone here thinks about Machine Learning Chatbots ;)

As they say in South Park : "We don't like your kind around here!" :P

I feel like the AI industry is circle jerking to get the most investor money before it dies horribly at some point.

I like using the tools but they should not be oversold as much as they are right now.

Yeah, they see the writing on the wall.  The question I have is whether or not they'll also score bailout money.

Who am I kidding, of course there will be bailouts.

It certainly reads like an AI wrote it. Or at least not an English first or even second language user that has a translator making this post.

Of course this is marketing SPAM. The suggestive / demanding phrasing of the title, the full listing of the product to be advertised which happens to be the only thing they actually seem to know, obviously no searching being done since otherwise the other "Do you use AI yet????" thread would have been found, plus the common claims "Oh your product is great" to make a nice impression, coupled with a new account that uses an avatar that would fit a p0rn site but not this one, suggesting a female user in order to exploit the expectably male-dominated community in order to generate interest and get more leeway. The other post also is only "spreading the name" while seemingly voicing doubts in order to blend in with the common AI skepticism while taking neither side (contrary to what a real user would do). I bet that an image search would find that exact same avatar in at least a dozen dating profiles on various platforms.
The only thing these marketers actually excel at is abusing human weaknesses and exploiting them.

Listen to old, white men, from time to time. Not tooooo often, but sometimes:

Like I have said recently at another forum :

"Remember kids : Every female SPAMmer is a LadyBoy from Thailand!" :P

Thanks, reading Schneier on Security

I think AI is overhyped and hope that the bubble will soon burst.
I also believe that this was primarily a PR stunt, and Mario and Sam are shady individuals akin to Elon Musk.

BUT, the Firefox version 150 with 270 bug fixes makes me second-guess. Maybe it could be helpful for security.
After all, this is mostly fuzzing on steroids? And fuzzing was also useful?

Hopefully not only the Linux Foundation but also the FreeBSD community and OPNsense team will gain access to this tool.

Yes, there are scams around and AI & Cyber Security are kind of buzzwords, but please read carefully:

I'm not a developer nor security expert, but I think this is something the BSD developers and OPNsense team shouldn't ignore ...

BUT, the Firefox version 150 with 270 bug fixes makes me second-guess.

I am not really surprised considering that Mozilla is ruining Firefox for many years now and has gone waaaaay outside it's primary goal to be a compact light fast browser without all sorts of crap integrated into it...
