Dean, the author of the Hyperdimensional blog, announced he is writing an untitled political‑theory book on AI slated for publication next year by Penguin Press, which will reduce his essay output. He highlights Anthropic’s non‑public model Mythos, which can autonomously discover complex software vulnerabilities, marking a watershed in AI‑driven cyber‑risk. Dean warns that both under‑reacting and over‑reacting to such capabilities could misguide policy, urging a measured, structured government role rather than blanket restrictions. He proposes a public‑private consortium and a CAISI‑led evaluation framework to balance security benefits with regulatory oversight.
