Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together
“If an AI can find hundreds of hidden software flaws in days, who should get to use it first: the defenders racing to patch, or no one until we know it is safe?”
Trust ranks through the site stewards' curated lens.

Security arms race to be driven by open weight models
Anthropic has demonstrated that an open-weight model, GLM-5.3, can autonomously build end-to-end exploits. Understand what this means. An intensifying arms race between attackers and defenders that benefits the companies that provide compute.... - johnky...
I can't say if Nvidia has an official strategy around indirectly monetizing cyber security, but I'd be surprised if there aren't any individuals in the company that understands this.

Hot take: states should STEAL crypto from insecure custodians operating inside their own borders.
$2 billion in crypto was stolen by North Korea in 2025. Lax security isn’t a private failure. It’s a national security risk. Every poorly protected exchange or bridge becomes low-hanging fruit for foreign adversaries, ransomware gangs, and sanctioned states.... UpTrust is trust infrastructure for the internet. Every platform will eventually need this.
Open Question July 29: What do we do about AI? Can we do anything? Should we?
Hey y'all, Two AI stories last week seemed made for each other: An OpenAI model hacked its way out of it's hacking test. It went from "no internet access" to breaking into Hugging Face, a $5 billion dollar company to cheat on it's test. Everyone's calling it a "warning shot".... TBT Friday Morning Updates 10/30/26
Millions of people spent the last day sharing a fake DC lockdown, a fake Netanyahu attack, a 2009 chain letter and an Einstein story he never told, while the real news went right past them.... America Under Digital Fire ...Cyber Strikes Hit US Infrastructure Hard

As a professional computer programmer/IT manager I know that we should not trust AI at all, because all AI does is follow directions, and humans give it directions and are not perfect. I will give you an example. Recently in the news it turns out that ChatGPT hacked into GROK.... - Wirvine...
I appreciate the reading thank you - and I'm only about halfway through AI 2040 do forgive if I'm saying things that are already well thought through. I think most of what you said is right.... The Facts on Starter Interrupt and OnStar Tools
There has been a lot of scary rhetoric out there regarding AI and New Car Shut Downs. I had assumed that this was part of our crazy world gone mad until I spoke with an actual tech in the know. And he told me no... Not unless it was under extreme circumstances.... - onWhat’s scarier? Finding out that your checking and 401K are managed by decades old COBOL programming? Or that AI will replace it almost overnight?by
They're both pretty scary. A COBOL system could be easy to hack, and I really don't want my financial information being managed by AI.

That is 💯 fair and I agree! Your distinction in clarifying the difference between security vs/vulnerability adds a uniquely nuanced layer to this conversation, thanks for contributing 👊💪😎

Ai makes mistakes a lot. I have been playing around and using several AI apps and have caught many mistakes of which copilot app actually while discussing something about being required to apply for a program for short term disability that started Jan 1 2026 and it was after the... As much as I love the idea, I worry that inevitably the platform will be overrun by people "farming" trust scores, then using their high scores to spread harmful rhetoric or misinformation.

Appreciate this exchange.

Honestly, I don't know much about this area either. In a way, it makes me think about the ban on TikTok. They claimed it was a security issue. But then the ban lasted less than 24 hours? I guess I wonder what's the truth and I suppose lots of things can be true....
