situating the vulnerability in the context of the mathematical model of network connected components, reminding you that you are (inevitably) part of a security community (weakest in the whole due to it’s weakest links, etc); and
a nostalgic recall to the youth of the industry where a “zero day” was rare and valuable rather than manufactured multiple times per day on demand.
Given that it is the computer security community that will determine whether we recover from the first AI worm within days (annoying), weeks or else months (cross-industry phase change event), it likely behooves us to use their language. for example, this impossible situation immediately demands a security office at Anthropic and OpenAI that can help respond to AI worm emergencies. Do the facilities exist? if not, they have a higher chance of being established and effective if the frontier labs engage now with the security community and their language. the idea of multiple zero day vulnerabilities per day should make any security professional nauseous.
yes, the advocacy mainly comes from the term:
