NEW: I took a look at the history of using export controls to limit the proliferation of cyber capabilities.
From the 1990s Crypto Wars to limit the spread of PGP, to Wassenaar to stop spyware flowing out of Europe, and now powerful AI models, I argue that this type of regulation does not work.
For the last 30 years, stopping the flow of cybersecurity-related software has proven to be ineffective. It's unclear why it would work now with Anthropic’s cybersecurity model Mythos.
