"Bank of America hires 1,000 contractors to fix software flaws found by Anthropic's Mythos" (community report, unconfirmed)
Verified (fact)
According to the title of a Reddit r/singularity post, Bank of America hired 1,000 contract workers to patch software flaws found by Anthropic's Mythos model. The post does not give the original news source, the type or scale of the flaws, or when the hiring took place. Most of the post body is the poster's personal opinion.
Why it matters (interpretation)
If true, this would be a case of a major bank putting large numbers of people on legacy system repairs because a frontier model found vulnerabilities in bulk. It illustrates the problem of patching failing to keep pace with how fast AI finds vulnerabilities. For now, it is an unsourced claim.
