> your country would definitely will be at the mercy of the country with AI superiority

People claim this, but it doesn't seem to be the case at all. We have multiple ongoing conflicts between countries currently, and we're not seeing huge gains from those with more access to AI.

Mythos is relatively new and Antrophic has been fighting US government to not allow their models for warfare. However, it’s only a matter of time till they bend the knee and in next 5-10 years we’ll see the effects of that.

Previously US used rebel groups to throw governments in other countries that are not US friendly. In the future I can see they can just start chaos by attacking banking systems, energy infrastructure or any other important modern infrastructure until that country falls in line with US

That's all entirely science fiction though, until we see some actual evidence. If Mythos is so incredibly dangerous, then the models before should be at least a little dangerous, and we haven't seen that.

Current AI was science fiction 5 years ago. But, you're entitled to your opinion, no matter how ignorant it is

This comment betrays a lack of familiarity with either AI or science fiction. Current AI was SF in 1961[1], but what we've got now has been considered beneath the realm of SF for a long time now.

Didn’t it find a bunch of 30 year old vulnerabilities already? What more proof do you need

"Finding a bunch of old vulnerabilities" is still several steps away from bringing a nation to its knees.
