It does seem right that the cyber offense-defense balance is tipped by AI to the offense.
The writing was on the wall. We predicted 👇 that AI will change the cybersecurity balance of powers to favor attackers, and it does. This is just the beginning.

Rather excited by this. Just this weekend, I was telling someone how I'd like some speculative work on robot timelines? Is is soon? A long time? Excited to read this!
Read the full version below: https://t.co/P9A9DivjRo I predict how embodied general intelligence (EGI) will be created, and on the way, how the US will out-manufacture China, endure political upheaval, and produce more robots than humans. (While I used to work at Dyna and Tesla

👀 Amazon joins Microsoft in supporting the "America first chips" provision (aka GAIN AI Act, a bill that requires chips to not be sold to US adversaries unless there are no buyers in the US)
https://t.co/aV4DgmnA4C is joining Microsoft in supporting legislation that threatens to further limit Nvidia’s ability to export to China, a rare split between the chip designer and two of its biggest customers

Insane new stats on AI music: - 50,000 AI songs are uploaded every day - 34% of songs uploaded are AI-generated Massive respect to Deezer for being open about this - and being the only streaming platform to try to fight it. This can't become the new normal.

Guys wake the f up. This is going to destroy us - sooner than we think - if we don’t make AI regulation a national priority tomorrow.
We believe this is the first documented case of a large-scale AI cyberattack executed without substantial human intervention. It has significant implications for cybersecurity in the age of AI agents. Read more:

While not surprising, this is seriously worrying. Understanding emerging dual-use AI capabilities should be a priority for the US gov. Now's the time to turbocharge CAISI. "the first documented case of a large-scale cyberattack executed without substantial human intervention."
We disrupted a highly sophisticated AI-led espionage campaign. The attack targeted large tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturing companies, and government agencies. We assess with high confidence that the threat actor was a Chinese state-sponsored group.

WSJ just dropped another strong investigation on how China is exploiting loopholes in U.S. export controls. To summarize what is happening and the loopholes that China is exploiting: 1️⃣ Nvidia ships Blackwell AI chips to Aivres Systems, a U.S.-based company that is 100% owned

In Indonesia, semiconductors covered by U.S. export controls are ready to help a Shanghai-based group.

A lot of people have read "AI as Normal Technology" and think "nothing to see here, this AGI thing won't ever be scary". But that's not what the authors meant! *Current* AI is normal. *Future* AGI may not be! Great to see common ground with the authors of AI 2027.
Common ground between the authors of AI 2027 and AI as Normal Technology! Coauthored article below.

Two things can be true. If you're not amazed by AI, you don't really understand it. If you're not afraid of AI, you don't really understand it.

Yes, I think many of the problems lie in the spiritual realm (not necessarily meaning divine, but the philosophical/moral).
The idea that Zoomers are "utterly screwed" in material terms is total nonsense and I wish people would stop repeating it. Housing is a bit more expensive than previous generations. Many other necessities — food, clothing, most manufactured goods are cheaper than ever.

Dario Amodei warns AI could wipe out ***HALF*** of all entry-level white-collar jobs - and spike unemployment 10-20% in the next 1-5 years. (These are Great Depression-level unemployment numbers!) He said AI companies and government need to stop "sugar-coating" what's coming.
