I think there’s a lot of truth to “the AI did it” though. We’re encouraging the same people who get tricked by “attached is your invoice” emails to run agent harnesses that have control of your desktop. I think there’s gonna be a lot of AI-powered exploits in the future.
Ironically, if the timeline is true that the attackers had been inside for months, the AIs they had access to are substantially weaker than today's frontier models. How much faster would they have achieved their goals with GLM 5.1?
