Because GenAI screws up, and screwing up is less of a big deal for the attacker, but can be a huge deal for the defender.

Attacking GenAI fails and either your attempt does nothing and you are no worse off, or it accidentally trashes a system that you were trying to control or copy data from, but you didn't care about that

Well, compared to the Windows release strategy...

Who asked for this?

So the addresses are bigger, so what?

In most cases, all you care about is the prefix, which is just 64 bits, expressed as 4 groups of 4 hex digits. This is IT, is hex really beyond people's grasp?

Most of the admin is done one terminals that support cut and paste anyway.

What if I voted for a cat but the election went to a pit bull with a brain injury?

Sounds like it's time for U.S. auto makers to figure out how Chines manufacturers are making their cars so inexpensive.

And no, it's NOT all from cheap labor. It's also from efficiency, making a fair profit rather than hand over fist, less marble and mahogany in the executive suite, and paying a reasonable amount to upper management. Also less jet setting for execs.

Do we REALLY have to repeat the '70s and '80s when the Japanese manufacturers spanked the big three?

What happened to "free trade" and "deregulate all the things!"

Not that I think it ever should have been crippled. But this is dumb as hell. It's going to be leaked in three seconds.

.. anyone has considered having the 5G routers at the head end of the train initiate contact with upcoming base stations on behalf of the cars behind them.

... do you smell something?

That's assuming that you even publish the code at all. Looks like they would keep their codebase internal.

GenAI is a bit nicer for offense than defense.

If you are an attacker, the time and consequences of a GenAI mistakes can be more easily ignored. Whoops, an attack that didn't work but you weren't going to succeed anyway. If it screws up the target in a way that you didn't actually want, you may have an opportunity cost because you wanted that data or to ransom the data, but you didn't care *that* much about the data. It's actually a pretty unambiguous 'win' for malicious users since the usual downsides don't matter.

If doing defense, the consequences of GenAI mistakes are more costly. An erroneous security fix actually becomes a hole. A change that loses data is data you actually care about.

All that said, I'm not sure closed sourcing and maintaining an open fork would realistically do anything. I doubt the proprietary fork would be sufficiently different to protect them from hypothetical security issues in their codebase.

A local warehouse clerk announced Tuesday that he intends to start mugging strangers because of recent developments in artificial intelligence security. Derek "Deke" Hargrove, 34, told reporters that powerful AI systems can now analyze any publicly available information about a person and turn it into a perfect plan for exploitation. "Any data you put out there -- your routines, your photos, your habits -- it is all open-source to these AI models now," Hargrove said outside a Loop coffee shop, with a ski mask visible in his back pocket. "They can study it and build a complete blueprint to rob or target you. Living a normal digital life just is not safe anymore."

Hargrove added that conventional security measures have become ineffective. "The only truly secure option left is to go fully analog," he said. "No digital trail, no logs, no AI predicting my every move. Just me, a dark street, and whoever walks by with cash in their pocket." He said he intends to launch his new career tomorrow night.

It's kind of silly. There's an absolute limit to the amount of productivity that can be had at a given price point. Demand more work and your best leave. Pay less and they leave and also you can't recruit. Same with cutting benefits and so on. In a recession like the one we're in you can squeeze a little more but that's still going to bite you in the ass later.

Oh look, another monopoly settling for 1/10th of the extra money they made and pinkie swearing to never do it again.

And thousands of other comparable pivots went nowhere.

At least with amazon, you could connect the dots, ok, we are investing in an online bookstore, ok, now they are selling more stuff, but it's still selling online stuff... Many years later they start being seen as a compute vendor, but only after they had shown in-house prowess for years prior.

This is just coming out of nowhere with no continuity purporting to mysteriously outmaneuver every existing player despite the big issues in their way being well known and aren't going to be alleviated unless you make your own fabs and chips...
