Spot on. "When we got attacked, our team initially turned to frontier closed-source APIs that blocked us because of safeguards that still can’t always tell the difference between attackers and defenders. I acknowledge that these safeguards are created with good intentions, but they can put defenders at a disadvantage while attackers jailbreak them, increasing the asymmetry of capabilities. In our case, as we started hitting those guardrails, fortunately we could use the @nvidia version of an open-source model" "Cyberattacks may increasingly come from proprietary models behind closed doors, while much of the defense may end up being powered by open-source tools because they are less restricted, more privacy-preserving, and orders of magnitude more affordable for organizations across the globe. The world needs open-source AI more than ever to defend itself." "during this cyberattack, we learned how AI can stoke fear among the public and policymakers, especially through anthropomorphic framing and sci-fi imagery." "We strongly believe that fear-based narratives are not the way to make the right decisions about the future of such a foundational and empowering technology or bring the public along with us." "Even though we were the victims of this cyberattack, we believe more strongly than ever that AI will be beneficial to cybersecurity and make the world safer, just as major technologies before it. We were attacked by AI, but more importantly, we defended ourselves with AI." https://x.com/i/article/2103142246950305793
