Our Commentary ​

This is genuinely unsettling. The idea of an AI agent just churning away, finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in real-world systems, is exactly the kind of thing that keeps me up at night. It's not just theoretical anymore; it's happening. We need to think about how we build systems that are resilient to this.
