Frontier models are about to become the most powerful cyber weapons ever built. Governments around the world have figured this out, and their posture toward AI has changed accordingly. A model that can read code, find flaws, write exploits, and chain them together at machine speed is a weapon in every sense of the word. Continue Reading →
On Tuesday, the NSA, CISA, and the FBI issued a joint advisory naming six Chinese AI companies (DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Alibaba, MiniMax, StepFun, and Z.AI) as running industrial-scale "distillation" attacks against U.S. frontier models since at least late 2024, "likely" with "Chinese government awareness."

Two AI science stories broke yesterday. OpenAI announced that an internal model “significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra” produced a proof that the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (which describe how fluids move, from blood circulation to weather) can develop a singularity in finite time.

This is a working paper, not a finished theory. I am trying to understand when a population of bounded agents begins to function as something more like an organization. The OpenAI and Hugging Face incident gave me a concrete case to study. I would welcome criticism of the argument, challenges to the terminology, contrary evidence, relevant research I have missed, better experimental designs, and examples that weaken or strengthen the thesis.
