The viral tweet, the Demis Hassabis pushback, the two-tier Google vs. Google DeepMind divide, and Brin's reported "force every Gemini engineer" memo. 18:42 — Is Mythos Real, or Just Anthropic PR?

Both things can be true at once. Anthropic can be using a well-worn playbook of touting capability dissemination risk as a means to drive hype AND Mythos can genuinely be a step-change advancement of capability. Not all hype is unjustified.
