The trend line is what almost everyone misses. I laugh at the mockery of AI creating videos and shake my head at how we’ve gone from Will Smith sloppily eating spaghetti, to having to search for number of fingers, to mockery over a lack of plot in less than a year. People are already falling for AI-created videos and images even when it’s “obvious.”

Every time a new model comes out, people focus on what it can do right now and don’t think enough about where the trend line leads. The cybersecurity story for Mythos, as alarming as it is, is not as important as the trend. A year ago, AI could barely hack at all. It wasn’t until around June 2025 that AI was reliably helpful for hacking, and it wasn’t until November that AI could autonomously implement hacks.
