What. The. Fuck.

After a great conversation with @hrkrshnn from @cantinaxyz about the agentic cyber arms race, one idea I keep coming back to is that it's turning into a cost war. Models are now good enough to find most vulnerabilities if you spend enough tokens looking. That puts defenders in a tough spot. If they default to frontier closed models for pen-testing and defense, they burn a lot on expensive tokens. Meanwhile attackers can run swarms of agents on cheap models for as long as it takes. It's the drones vs aircraft carriers problem in cyber. When cheap drones need expensive missiles to shoot them down, defense eventually becomes unaffordable. The cyber companies that win will own their data. Every customer audit feeds a pipeline that post-trains their own models on open weights, getting close to frontier performance at a fraction of the cost. Lower cost means they can search longer and defend longer without breaking the bank. In the age of agents, the advantage goes to whoever can afford to keep looking.

If you're an engineer for more than just the paycheck, good chance you actually love finance you just don't know it yet. I could barely stay awake in my undergrad econ class, and it wasn't until I was deep in the space that I saw it for the huge machine it actually is.

Earlier this month, OpenAI paid a $6500 bounty to a white hat who had a backdoor into their entire SSO Today, they paid $300 to a white hat who had a backdoor into their entire Inference API "Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome"

$300 for a bug that gives free access to OpenAI’s paid models with no API key or account. Zero reason to report anything else I find to them.

@Chris_8086 Sounds to me like the source of the problem was above the mattress and below the blanket ;) Glad you’re onboard and I promise it gets better!

@jmonteer23 The fact that we need to consider gaslighting agents to get them to do things that present no material risk is just sad

Dot refused to apply my signature to a sales agreement, even with repeat explicit requests to do so Bot did it immediately Paternal bullshit is becoming the main reason I switch products these days

@p3shoemaker I was going to send this to you this morning, but I knew with 100% certainty you had either already seen it or were somehow incapacitated

A small UI idea after OpenAI's DevDay demo: Give agents their own names + avatars, with a little portrait of their human and an owner name tag Round agents, square humans. Let Alfred be Alfred, while keeping it obvious whose agent is speaking. wdyt @SlackHQ?

And just remembered Slack does company logos in the lower right corner in shared channels, so maybe we need to move the owner to the lower left to make room? Gets a little crowded in the shared channel setting, but still think it's easier to visually parse

today we're releasing apex-flash-1, our first open-weights model for security research post-trained on real vulnerabilities we found and got paid for. we are also releasing the abliterated variant for researchers who want fewer refusals in their own authorized workflows. how we
