AI Finds 70% of Smart Contract Exploits | Alpin Yukseloglu

So we don't feel it yet.

It hasn't actually broken any of our assumptions.

But once we hit in maybe six to eight months, I'm pretty confident at this point by the end of the year, a super human AI auditor will

This will just completely break all of our assumptions and we'll need to go back and make sure that we're hardening all of the contracts that are housing the what, nearly $100 billion of assets in crypto.

I mean, I think security.

So the way I would think about it is that I think

Bankless

Right now, this frontier is very illegible.

Bankless

And if you try to do this in the limit thinking, you end up leading to very odd places that may be very psychosis-inducing.

I think one of the skills... I think the capacity to face the singularity and stay sane is a very important skill to develop.

Bankless
AI Finds 70% of Smart Contract Exploits | Alpin Yukseloglu

And I think this is...

Bankless

The best we can do right now is that we can get ourselves into the frontier, into this sort of experimentally bound future where we're running the experiments ourselves and be ready when those inflections happen to be able to react.

Because I think the model of like, there are only bad people in the world and they're going to have access to this technology and they're going to break all of our systems.

Bankless
AI Finds 70% of Smart Contract Exploits | Alpin Yukseloglu

I think this is what leads to the sort of psychosis around like, are we all just completely screwed?

Bankless
AI Finds 70% of Smart Contract Exploits | Alpin Yukseloglu

But that's not what's

Bankless
AI Finds 70% of Smart Contract Exploits | Alpin Yukseloglu

going to happen, right?

Bankless
AI Finds 70% of Smart Contract Exploits | Alpin Yukseloglu

We're all going to be in there together.

Bankless

And so when we're in this frontier, and as we have access to these frontier models, the sort of agent harnesses around them that are able to run these exploits, that are able to, for example, find undiscovered math, or that are able to break existing cryptography, there will be both sides of it.

Bankless

And right now, it's not clear whether this is going to be an offense or defense favoring technology.

Bankless
AI Finds 70% of Smart Contract Exploits | Alpin Yukseloglu

I will say that there are still fundamental constraints in the world.

Bankless

Like you can't break laws of physics.
