Last month, I gave a talk at DEF CON on AI hacking: what happens when AIs become hackers. It’s a combination of the potentialities I raised in my 2022 book A Hacker’s Mind and the lessons we’re learning from current AI models engaging in hacking behavior. I’m really proud of the talk, and the fact that it gained over 100K views on YouTube in just a few days.
Also online is an interview with me in the AI Village.

As data centers in our community
Take over our land with impunity
While experts fuss over security
AI brings oblivion and obscurity.
