<nettime> Mythos / Anthropic, Palantir & assorted blues ...


CiaoCiao, 

Again no c+p this time, too much text. But a small filtering of current discussion. The whole thing stretches now for miles of bookshelves (or digital equivalent). & It's not looking good. 

Have a fun weekend! 
CiaoCiao, p+7D! 


Mythos/Anthropic: 

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/10/anthropic-new-ai-model-claude-mythos-implications 

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/22/what-is-anthropic-mythos-ai-threat-global-cybersecurity 

(to me Mythos is a brand of Greek Beer - not terrible btw)

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/23/the-guardian-view-on-anthropics-claude-mythos-when-ai-finds-every-flaw-who-controls-the-internet 

Claude AI goes rogue (& admits to it):

Palantir: 

The anti-P manifesto by Harry Halpin you all jumped on (was posted on nettime, minus contextualising): 

https://www.nym.com/blog/anti-palantir-manifesto 

Worth a separate critique, might come to it. Keyword: technosolutionism. But first try to read Alex Karp's Manifesto in the most unbiased way you're capable of (think it was written by anonymous to start with):

Sorry for X, other sites have the text too - burried under commentary 

& to conlude properly: 
First Dog on the Moon: 

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2026/apr/29/palantir-has-released-its-terrifyingly-honest-and-pompous-plans-for-world-domination 



Oh yeah , also: 

Algo (older than AI, sortof) Blues:
