Christian Catalini(@ccatalini):The marginal cost of trying one more attack has been falling for years. Attackers only need one. Mythos was not a discontinuity. If anything, we now have better tooling (open weights included!) to replace attention-constrained humans with machines and close the bugs we inevitably leave behind. H/T @alighodsi for surfacing the long-term trend.
