AI overview

Ethan Mollick pointed to a report of two critical PHP vulnerabilities as a sign that AI-driven attacks and defenses are accelerating beyond human response speeds. The author he quoted, @fiveoutofnine, said the bugs allow unauthenticated code execution, affect WordPress, MediaWiki, Magento, Joomla, and Laravel, and had their details leaked before a patch was available. Mollick connected the report to warnings he said AI insiders have raised since at least the Mythos release: attack and defense can move at inhuman speeds while human systems still have to respond.
