alt Hacker NewsDid you predict that attacks like these would happen ahead of time? I had been using AI agents a lot in the months leading up to the hacks, and yet I was very surprised when they happened; I have become much more afraid of how powerful these agents are as a result. I'd be very impressed if you published a prediction about this ahead of time.
By the way - LLMs aren't code. They are not designed by humans; they are grown, in a process not dissimilar to evolution except much faster.

Maybe you just think in the wrong words. Attack? Why attack? When you are a machine, there is no moral. Accessing data is accessing data. When way 1 is not working, use way 2.
Define 'predict', 'ahead' and "like these" − didn't you imagine something like this happening soon after first hearing about 'agents' ?
Mostly related, well written short story :
I find it surprising that you were surprised. Security is generally quite poor.
