TL;DR: We can propose “consciousness tests” only if we imply the existence of a task that only a genuinely conscious system can solve. Therefore, if we invent an internally uncontradictive solution to that task, we’ll create consciousness.I won’t waste my – and yours – time arguing for the importance of consciousness research. You already know it. Everything we know is known through the lens of conscious experience. Nor will I dwell on the familiar difficulties: the hard problem, the explanat... Read more ›

In , co-authored with Epoch AI, we looked at the public evidence on how good Mythos Preview was at vulnerability discovery and exploit development. In this post, I consider the implications. For vulnerability discovery: moving from sparse sampling to dense sampling, AI vs fuzzing, long-term defense dominant but bumpy ride in 2026-2027 due to slow patch rollouts; offline vs online exploitation and why both are offense-dominant, except for one defensive use case of exploit development. AI disco... Read more ›
