Replying to @RachelTobac @Google
Also, the demo of fake call detection that @Google made for me was an early version. In the launch today, the contact’s photo is also removed as another visual signal that it's likely an impersonator calling. Really cool to see that update in action as we found that impactful in our research together!

Happy for @Google to take part in this work for a more secure digital ecosystem for everyone.
Introducing Project Glasswing: an urgent initiative to help secure the world’s most critical software. It’s powered by our newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans. anthropic.com/glasswing

We appreciate the public/private partnerships with governments around the world working with us to fight crime and protect the security and privacy of billions of users
As Mayor, I've been calling on phone firms to do more to combat mobile phone theft. Good to visit Google’s London office today to see the important work they are doing on new state-of-the-art AI technology that will make Android mobile phones less attractive to thieves.

🧵Epic’s latest lawsuit is a meritless and dangerous move. Google did not request that Samsung create their Auto Blocker feature. (1/5)

That’s why Google offers its own safety features such as Google Play Protect, which checks for harmful apps on a user’s device, regardless of where the app was downloaded. Android device makers are free to innovate and design additional safety features for their devices. (4/5)

To make this about access to a game is deliberately misleading; this is about user safety. And Epic’s lawsuit puts their corporate interests above user protections. (5/5)

Putting aside their opinions on Wired, iVerify, and Palantir, the GrapheneOS account raises a lot of good points about how this "vulnerability" is way overblown and being misrepresented. And given how brutally critical of Google they often are, the fact that the GrapheneOS folks are coming out this hard in defense of them really shows how bad the reporting on this issue has been. The original report makes for a salacious headline but it falls apart really quickly when you actually look at the details.
Wired was manipulated into spreading misinformation to market Palantir and iVerify by misrepresenting a vulnerability in a disabled demo app as being a serious problem which could be exploited in the real world. They should retract the article but won't. wired.com/story/google-andro…

Replying to @OpenAI
@OpenAI claimed in their GPT-4 system card that it isn't effective at finding novel vulnerabilities. We show this is false. AI agents can autonomously find and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2406.01637 🧵 1/7

While at the Singapore Member Meeting, we seized the moment and recognized the inspiring women of the Alliance whose transformative work not only changes the world in which we live but also breaks barriers for the generations of women who will follow! #csaiot #womenintech xitter.cf/csaiot/status/17702389…
