Next Breakthrough: Invite Only

The ChatGPT moment was public. The next one won't be.

In 2022, anyone with a browser got the breakthrough the same day as everyone else. That may never happen again. Anthropic's top tier, Mythos, went first to a small circle of trusted organizations, not to the public. And in June, access to Anthropic's newest top models was suspended for almost three weeks to comply with US export controls.

So the next leap, maybe AI improving AI, happens behind closed doors. We find out later, from the side effects: layoffs, markets jumping, a lab announcing something that's already done 🚪

The doom isn't killer robots. It's that the next ChatGPT moment is the first one you're not invited to.
