A visible sign of what AI insiders have been warning about since at least the Mythos release. Acceleration of attack and defense, at inhuman speeds, interacting with the very human systems that need to react to them.
Companies I talk to are struggling with the rate of patches they need to do thanks to AI defenses finding issues before the coming wave of incoming cyberattacks by other AIs.
