  "transcript": "I don't know where this is headed, but I don't like it.\n\nhttps://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/open-source-ai-model-scary-mythos\n\n> GLM-5.2 can be downloaded by anybody, can be run on virtually any hardware, and unlike Mythos or Fable, there’s no vendor playing the middle man between the AI models and the users, raising the cybersecurity stakes considerably.\n\n> Put simply, while these frontier models can aid researchers in patching holes in commonly used software, the can also be abused by hackers to bypass existing defenses.\n\n> Security firms Semgrep and Graphistry both found that GLM-5.2 was proficient at identifying software bugs and performing other cybersecurity tasks. “We Have Mythos at Home,” Semgrep titled its benchmarking.\n\nHopefully this fearmongering won't be used to justify censorship, but we live in strange days.  I don't know what to expect anymore.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[258 upvotes] Run on virtually any hardware???\n\nIt's great when fear mongering writers don't know what they're writing about...\n\nHow many seconds per token is my old 4th gen i3 laptop going to get? Hmm?\n\n[81 upvotes] Run on virtually any hardware you invest at least 250k on\n\nGod this shit is god awful these people need to stop writing articles.\n\nAnd don’t even mention the 1 or 2 bit quants they are lobotomised as hell\n\n[54 upvotes] This fearmongering will backfire spectacularly.\n\nIf those models \"can be run on virtually any hardware\", why would any serious investor invest in a closed-source model API provider?\n\n[49 upvotes] If advanced models can be used to exploit security issues, then the solution is to use advanced models to fix them, not to ban these models.
