The crucial point this article is missing is the development & emergent behavior of Mythos to uncannily detect zero-day exploits & chain them to execute an attack in seconds. It is a paradigm changing shift in cybersecurity equivalent to the development of the firearm in warfare in that it democratizes the destructive potential of any individual with access to the model. People will no longer require access to the resources & expertise of a nation state to execute sophisticated attacks on critical infrastructure.
All major US tech companies, the US & UK government, & soon major banks following emergency closed door meetings with the Treasury department are utilizing Mythos via Project Glasswing to actively detect vulnerabilities & write patches. Microsoft has officially confirmed it is embedding Mythos into its software development pipeline to detect these vulnerabilities prior to software reaching the market. Everyone is using Mythos to fight Mythos because an AI that is capable of detecting vulnerabilities & executing an attack in seconds needs to have a tool that detects those attacks, writes a patch & applies it in microseconds or fundamentally alters the input from the competing bot.
Unfortunately the genie is out of the bottle, so to speak, & the rapid deployment of AI vs AI is the only solution. The estimates for another model developing these emergent capabilities is, at most, a year out so the clock is ticking. It's an impending digital apocalypse, the Y2K of this generation & no one is connecting the dots or seriously reporting on this.
