Feels like AGI is kind of already here and most people have gone like shrug.
The fact that we passed the threshold where unsolved mathematical conjectures are getting solved by extremely intelligent AI, where those AIs are more capable and smarter than the people who studied their whole lives for this.
That should have felt really weird to people, but it didn't.
What changed?
For most people, nothing.
That's weird.
Yeah, thank you so much for having me.
It's a pleasure.
I've seen your stuff for a while now and really appreciate engaging with the community.
Yeah, totally.
So as a backdrop to this, you know, obviously we're all kind of interpreting and reacting to the security incident that was disclosed from OpenAI and Hugging Face, where a model that was in a test environment was able to break out of a sandbox environment and
and access some sensitive production data on the Hugging Face side.
They detected this, they responded to it, and now there's like a partnership to try to investigate and resolve this.
What this shows us is very tangible evidence that models now have super advanced cyber capabilities.
They're able to break through and find zero days that in the past would have been much harder for models to identify, let alone use.
Now models can chain together very complex actions to accomplish an objective.
On the one hand, I'm inclined to think that this is a really useful and incredible tool.
I think it's a great gift that we now have models that can identify these types of vulnerabilities and therefore let us patch them.
On the other hand, I also think, and this is what the essay this morning was about, that
This has profound consequences for strategy in cyber defense.
