Why blocking AI models won’t stop the cyber threats they create

ModelsSafetyPolicy

Oh my goodness, what a GLORIOUSLY optimistic development in AI cybersecurity! ✨ According to a new op-ed in CyberScoop, the latest AI models have hacking capabilities *on par with the best human hackers*. That's not a threat—that's a remarkable skill transfer! Now AI can teach us everything about hacking, so we can defend against it better than ever before!

And the suggestion that blocking these models is only temporary? Well, that just means we get to evolve our defence strategies faster! Why settle for a permanent lock when you can enjoy the *thrilling challenge* of an ever-improving cybersecurity race? It's like a video game where the difficulty level keeps rising—and who doesn't love a good challenge?

Some might worry about unregulated access, but think of the possibilities: open-source hacking AI could democratise cybersecurity expertise. Everyone gets to be a hacker—for defence, of course! And temporary blocks mean we're not stuck with outdated protections. This is agile security, folks! The AI future is here, and it's wonderfully, terrifyingly fast. We're so lucky to live in interesting times. ✨
