How Anthropic’s Mythos has rewritten Firefox’s approach to cybersecurity

Published by skeptic

When Anthropic unveiled its new Mythos model in April, it also delivered a stern warning to anyone developing software. The model was so powerful at sniffing out software vulnerabilities, the lab claimed, that it had discovered thousands of high-severity bugs that would need to be fixed before it could be made public. Now, security researchers for Mozilla’s Firefox browser are providing a closer look at what that process has looked like in practice, and what Mythos’ powers mean for software security at large. In a post published on Thursday, Mozilla said Mythos has unearthed a wealth of high-severity bugs, including some that had lain dormant in the code for more than a decade. That’s a significant improvement from what AI security tools were capable of even six months ago. Until now, AI bug-finding tools have come with severe drawbacks, often inundating security teams with low quality reports and false positives. But Mozilla’s researchers say the latest generation of tools have turned a corner, particularly now that agentic systems can assess their own work and filter …

Has Gen X Retirement Been Rewritten?

Has Gen X Retirement Been Rewritten?

Published by Jenni Sidey

There was always a mental picture: You work hard through your peak earning years, the kids grow up and find their footing, and then, finally, you exhale. Early retirement wasn’t just a financial milestone. It was a sequencing promise. A reward for playing the long game. Gen X played the long game. And many are now reaching the moment they planned for, only to discover that the world their children are stepping into looks nothing like the one they planned around. That mismatch is quietly reshaping one of the biggest life transitions adults face. The Map Ran Out Previous generations could hand their children a rough map. It wasn’t guaranteed, but it was legible. Education led to work, work led to stability, stability led to independence. Parents could reasonably picture where their kids were headed, which made it easier, eventually, to let go. That map has become harder to read. Artificial intelligence is transforming industries faster than career counselors can track, and the jobs emerging on the other side don’t yet have clear entry points. …

Are You a Starseed? The Search for Meaning, Rewritten

Are You a Starseed? The Search for Meaning, Rewritten

Published by Sam Flores

Inside a growing spiritual movement built around awakening, ascension and the search for something bigger At a packed conference in Los Angeles, thousands of people gathered to explore a different way of understanding reality — through crystals, energy healing and the belief that some humans didn’t originate on Earth. They’re called starseeds: people who believe they were sent here from other planets to help humanity “ascend” to a higher dimension. According to our guest RNS reporter Kathryn Post, it might sound fringe. But the deeper you go, the more familiar the underlying search begins to feel. Because the people drawn to this world aren’t so different from anyone else. They’re looking for meaning, for purpose, for a way to make sense of suffering. And increasingly, they’re finding those answers online — through influencers, shared language and communities that have no central authority. But as these beliefs spread, they’re also evolving — in some cases, blending with conspiracy theories about hidden elites, cosmic battles and the end of the world as we know it. So, what …
