And odd things can happen.

We've been through moments of really, really deep security vulnerability in the past, which felt, you know, felt almost existential.

So Microsoft had all of those issues 20 plus years ago, which is why they then started to emphasize the idea of trusted computing technology.

There's clearly an emerging set, a new set of risks that come out.

But every technology wave has those new sets of risks.

And if you had gone to someone and said, 25 years ago, and said, oh, there'll be...

trillion cyber attacks a year on the internet.

You might have said, well, let's not build the internet.

But actually, the reason there are a trillion cyber attacks is because the internet is much more useful than any individual cyber attack.

But the seriousness, I think, of what these systems as they get progressively more agentic can do, and I think Claude is discovering all sorts of weaknesses in the red teaming that the Anthropic team runs, is getting progressively more

serious but the thing to note is that we are what we hear is absolutely state-of-the-art on the edge results what we don't hear are the mechanisms of defense that are being built up by the cyber security companies and you know they are of course not not sleeping on all of this thanks for listening all the way to the end if you want to know when the next conversation is released just hit subscribe wherever you're listening that's all for now and i'll catch you next time

So ChatGPT has its third anniversary this week.

Let's look at ChatGPT through the lens of my exponential age framework.

I guess the first point is that ChatGPT and the large language model it's built on, they're just one segment of a larger exponential transition, even if we just think about computing.

But ChatGPT tends to drown things out because

It's becoming the verb for AI and with some justification.

According to a recent counter, a message on X from one of the investors in OpenAI, nearly 900 million users.

That means people seem to like it.

Data from SimilarWeb, which monitors web usage and app usage, shows that it's a really, really sticky business.

app, about a third of people who use ChatGPT in a month use it every day.
