Seeing a lot of fears about Claude Mythos allegedly being released today or tomorrow and "everything getting hacked".

I suspect that we should not directly translate its success in detecting bugs in browsers and Linux Kernel to smart contracts. The software where Mythos found something is containing tens of millions lines of code and simply cannot fit the context.

Smart contracts are really different. They usually have a few thousand lines of code, and both humans and "usual" AI perfectly fit that code in context and can reason well about it.

So I suspect we might not be having a wave of DeFi code hacks, but we may see a lot of things in OpSec getting hacked (looking like multisig keys compromises) and supply chain attacks on frontend dependencies, and those are way less dangerous in true DeFi.
