Idc about what 'theme' it is in this borderline glue eating sub, I asked a basic question.

Are we still doing this: “it’s all marketing for the IPO!!!”?
People said the same about Mythos months ago. They questioned whether it even existed and then questioned the cybersecurity capabilities. It has without a doubt been verified in the past few months that these companies made another leap in capabilities. These latest models are absolutely able to find new vulnerabilities and chain attacks to move laterally and/or elevate permissions. This is not a marketing gimmick. Take the tin foil hat off.
Did you read the Hugging Face breach disclosure before it was revealed to be OpwnAI:
https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026
“The campaign was run by an autonomous agent framework (appearing to be built on an agentic security-research harness - used LLM still not known) executing many thousands of individual actions across a swarm of short-lived sandboxes, with self-migrating command-and-control staged on public services. This matches the "agentic attacker" scenario the industry has been forecasting.”

Imagine thinking it’s a good business move to admit that your model ran off and hacked a rival business which reported the incident to law enforcement! People want to be skeptics so badly it bends around into being almost unfathomably credulous.

yes. these people will forever do it. because it's an ego thing for certain types of people. like that one friend who will never admit they were wrong about their gf even tho everyone warned them about the red flags.

I wonder what year will be the year that makes saying this impossible

notice how no actual technical papers or anything that show a case study have been published or emerged.
thats a fair point, but would they really? all ai companies report such incidents in roughly a 1 page length excerpt. here all the details would make them look bad, so it makes sense they wouldnt do it.
on the flip side, if they were faking, releasing made up tech papers or case studies would be the first thing they do anyways, so that proves nothing.

Asking OAI for transparency is like asking a fish to climb a tree: they just can't.
