Palantir CEO Alex Karp on the new AI security reality:
“With these new models, it’s going to be more guerrilla war… how quickly can you mitigate and how quickly can you shoot back.”
“The models are able to expose security flaws at a scale that we’re not really equipped to deal with. That’s going to be a societal issue for every single organization, government or not.”
“The only unique thing we’re doing… is how can you patch the penetration vectors that were unknown quicker than they can be exploited?”
The age of static defenses is over. AI is turning every network into a live, constantly shifting battlefield. Most orgs will be permanently on the back foot. Palantir bet is that the only winning move is speed. Finding and sealing the holes faster than the models can open them.

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

FBI and partners arrested this individual after he allegedly concealed a recording device inside his employer's executive conference room to secretly capture sensitive communications about the company’s super intelligence tech - Thank you to @ODNIgov Jay Clayton @AGToddBlanche and our law enforcement partners for their support in this case. Investigation ongoing. Protecting American SI innovation is critically important and FBI views it as one of our highest counterintelligence priorities.
BREAKING: A Saudi national/OpenAI employee has been arrested by the FBI after he was allegedly caught placing an eavesdropping/audio recording device inside of OpenAI’s executive conference room in San Francisco, CA. Feds say Abdulrahman Alfozan made his first appearance in federal court today. OpenAI says they immediately contacted the FBI after they discovered the device & are grateful the feds made a quick arrest. Alfozan was caught on CCTV cameras at OpenAI.
From the complaint:
“Alfozan had been employed as an engineer by the company identified as “Company 1” since July 2025. On or about Sept. 30, Company 1 personnel discovered a surreptitious audio recording device (Recording Device 1) inserted into a USB port on the back of a television in an executive conference room inside one of Company 1’s buildings in San Francisco. Company 1 determined that the device, which had been concealed in toilet paper, was installed on or about Sept. 28, and that its contents were encrypted.”

The director of the Secret Service tells 60 Minutes the threat environment in the U.S. is unlike anything he’s seen before.
And it’s not just gunmen anymore. Can the Secret Service still protect the president in the age of drones, political violence and social media?

A suspected dangerous infection was released in a laboratory accident at the Anti-Plague Research Institute in Shelekhov, near Irkutsk, Siberia. One laboratory worker died after being diagnosed with pneumonia of "unknown" origin. Rospotrebnadzor, the Russian state agency handling infectious disease, says it remains unclear what was released. Russian authorities are responding.

Moving fast and building safely aren’t at odds.
AI should move as fast as we can, with rigorous testing, monitoring, and safeguards every step of the way.

Jensen Huang on how he motivates employees who are already rich
“How do you keep your employees motivated and energetic when they’ve probably become richer than they ever expected?” the moderator asks Jensen.
Jensen replies:
“My direct reports include 55 people. I write no reviews for any of them. I give them constant [feedback], and they provide the same to me… Many of our executives are paid the same—exactly to the dollar. I know it’s weird. And I don’t do 1-on-1s with any of them, unless they need me. Then I’ll drop everything for them. I never have meetings with them alone, and they never hear me say anything to them that is only for them to know. There’s not one piece of information that I secretly tell ‘E-staff’ that I don’t tell the rest of the company. That way, our company is designed for agility, for information to flow as quickly as possible, for people to be empowered by what they do—not what they know. So that’s the architecture of our company.”
With respect to motivation, Jensen explains:
“The answer for that is my behavior. How do I celebrate and talk about success? How do I celebrate failure? How do I talk about setbacks? Every single day, I’m looking for opportunities to instill the culture of the company — What is important? What’s not important? What’s the definition of good? How do you compare yourself to good? How do you think about good? How do you think about the journey? How do you think about results? All of that, all day long.”

I read @DarioAmodei's essay calling on the labs to pace the frontier. @sama agreed. The frontier will move at whatever speed it moves. The rest of the world will not slow down. Our job in the cybersecurity community is to make sure it moves securely and safely.
Here’s what I see from the front lines:
1. The unit of threat is no longer the hacker. It's an autonomous campaign. I call it the Agent-state. We see coordinated AI agents executing attack campaigns at machine speed.
2. Sophistication is dead as an attribution signal. AI gives every criminal and lone actor elite execution. Identity, infrastructure, and intent tell you who's behind an attack. Skill doesn't.
3. Runtime is the control point. Endpoints, cloud workloads, and SaaS are the battleground. Governance documents don't stop an agent in motion. Enforcement at machine speed does.
4. Every AI agent is a privileged identity. Least privilege, short-lived credentials, traceable actions, and a kill switch. Permissions never expand because an agent decides it needs more.
5. Defense has to be autonomous but also bounded. Machine-speed response, tiered by consequence, with humans owning the high-impact calls.
6. Every failed attack should make every defender smarter. Feed what we block back into detection, across customers and models, with privacy intact. This is what CrowdStrike and NVIDIA introduced with SafeMind: an agentic, always improving model and harness protection system built for defenders.
7. The AI industrial base is critical infrastructure: weights, training clusters, APIs. Call it what it is and protect it like it is.
Pacing what comes next doesn't secure what's already here. The credible path is to deploy with proof: board-level accountability for AI security, independent external red teaming, incident disclosure, secure defaults, and controls that work in production - not on paper. Anthropic and OpenAI just committed to embedding independent evaluators with employee-level access. CrowdStrike will bring what we see from the front lines to that table.
The ability for AI to act must be matched by the ability for defensive AI to stop the breach.
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

The AI news from this weekend must be taken in perspective.
First off, let’s make clear what was NOT said:
- Zero AI companies said they were slowing down development..
- Nobody said that their release cadence was going to be slower.
- And nobody even said they were going to cap capabilities of future AI models.
What the Anthropic CEO said, and Sam Altman from OpenAI agreed with, is that they would use third party evaluators before they release a new model.
Fine.
In fact, the Anthropic CEO SPECIFICALLY said, “pacing does not mean halting model training or technical progress” which I note that most media outlets forgot to put in their articles.
The other thing that is important to note is: assume the worst case scenario. Let’s say AI models were more slowly released. Who would this effect?
Demand for AI is NOT slowing down (se chart):
Most of the demand for AI computing is for people who want inference. Not for the companies training AI models. Training happens once, but inference is going up in a straight line.
In fact, slower / older models require more infrastructure to provide inference.
So who wins in the worst case scenario?
NVDA (inference needs lots of GPUs), MU (inference needs lots of memory), ALAB (inference needs millions of connections between the GPUs), MRVL, AVGO, etc.
Let's even take a more worst case scenario. If AI models are truly a risk, the risk is from a cybersecurity standpoint. Who benefits? NET NTCT PANW CRWD NOK etc etc.
You have to ask: why is the media not reporting this accurately?
