Each new generation of models will reduce the need for expert-developed harnesses, but they are almost certainly out there. We have to recognize the limits of our visibility into the backend of spies and criminals. The signs won't be obvious. The race has started already. 5/x

What's more, I think most of us are surprised we have not found more evidence. We believe this is the tip of the iceberg. Other AI-developed 0days are probably out there. At Google, BigSleep was a wake up call (2 years ago), but the threat grew with each generation of model. 3/x

I'm sure people will want more details on this specific incident, and we have good reasons for not sharing all of the data, but I'd challenge you to focus on the bigger picture. If criminals are doing it, then state actors with significant resources probably are too. 4/x

A criminal threat actor was planning to use the 0day exploit, which has artifacts of AI development, in a mass exploitation event before it was patched. Frankly, the details of this event are not as important as the evidence that the era of adversary use is here. 2/x
