I like the Register's headline: "Anthropicโ€™s bug-hunting Mythos was greatest marketing stunt ever, says cURL creator" ... even though I did not say that. ๐Ÿ˜‚ https://www.theregister.com/security/2026/05/11/anthropics-bug-hunting-mythos-was-greatest-marketing-stunt-ever-says-curl-creator/5238111

Analysis Summary
The Register's headline falsely attributes to cURL creator Daniel Stenberg the quote that Anthropic's Mythos is 'the greatest marketing stunt ever' โ€” Stenberg is actually pointing out that the hype around the model was disproportionate to its real-world results, which found only one low-severity vulnerability in cURL after months of promotion. Stenberg's actual critique is that Anthropic overstated the capabilities and risks of its bug-hunting AI, which he documents in detail on his blog. The Register misquoted or misframed his position to create a more headline-friendly but misleading attribution.
