TRC #731: Movie Franchise "Use It Or Lose It" Clauses + Anthropic's Mythos
About this episode
The episode discusses movie franchise 'Use It or Lose It' clauses and an overview of Anthropic's AI tool, Mythos.
Sometimes movie studios release low quality franchise films and one excuse for this might be that if they don't release a movie every X or Y years, they will lose the rights. Adam looks into these reversion rights, colloquially referred to as "Use It or Lose It" clauses, which force studios to make a film or lose the right to make the one they're banking on. Darren then gives us an overview of Anthropic's Mythos, an AI tool so powerful that anyone with access to it could use it to uncover security vulnerabilities, which has led to them holding off on releasing the product.
