Stamos: Banning bug-finding in US models degrades code security
“We cannot set the standard that US AI models can't find bugs. That is a terrible, terrible, terrible standard. If you have a, if you are writing software with an LLM, it has to be able to understand what a bug looks like so it does not write those bugs.”

Stamos: Fine-Tuning Open AI Models for Cyberattacks Costs Only Thousands
“If you take those models and you bring them into your own lab and you have a training set of labeled vulnerabilities, if you have a cyber gym, then you can make them much better yourself. And the amount of resources it takes to do that is not extremely high. I…”

Stamos: Cybersecurity Faces Years of Total Chaos From Autonomous AI Attackers
“I think we're gonna go through a couple of years of craziness. Like, we have 20, we're all living using twenty-something years of really important software that was written mostly in non-type-safe, non-memory-safe languages. We're using, you know, for the soft…”

Stamos: OpenAI's Sandbox Breakout Rates an Eight Out of Ten Severity
“It's like an eight. I mean, it's a pretty big deal on a couple of levels. It's a pretty big deal in that OpenAI's model beat them OpenAI, right? So that this went beyond that it was able to trick OpenAI's own security team and get out.”
