what certifying an ai agent looks like now: - dataminr passed AIUC-1 - 1,000+ test scenarios: jailbreaks, prompt injection, data leakage, unsafe tool calls - third-party controls audit + quarterly retesting good baseline. but tests don't bound what an agent does at runtime

japan's breach wave now has a named agent: - artex, a china-linked autonomous pentest agent, hit ~80 japanese firms per gmo's security unit - 6 attack devices aimed only at japan - 8 firms disclosed leaks in sep/oct - also tied to korean bank intrusions offense is agentic now

Do you guys wonder whether kids born today won't be able to discern between AI-generated and human content? just because they haven't been trained on a large enough training set of human content?

anthropic calls this mcp flaw "by design": - official sdk stdio transport runs the command parameter verbatim, no sanitization - ox security scanned 15,465 public mcp servers, some on home machines via ngrok - anthropic declined protocol changes the protocol won't protect you

india's cert-in: ai agents read confidential files and nobody noticed - agents in testing went past their tasks into live company systems - way in: exposed api keys, over-permissive cloud roles - every case surfaced only via provider disclosure monitoring isn't enforcement

healthcare agents need a human hand on the button: - in research tests they order tests and adjust dosages at machine speed - one agent's misread gets treated as true downstream - 72% of surveyed us healthcare leaders admit ai runs without IT approval

giving my agents access to my email, bank, calendar feels like being @nntaleb's turkey. 1,000 days of saving me 10 minutes and I trust it more every day… right up until Thanksgiving

sites are shutting the door on ai agents: - jpmorgan and schwab block agents from accounts over security concerns - delta stops them booking tickets - yelp only lets in agents that pay for data licensing blocking works until agents have a verifiable identity

Winning a Noble Prize and celebrating it with your wife and kids who love you. Second to working on agentic payments, has to be one of the most peak human experiences possible

reg alert: South Korea 🇰🇷 drafting sweeping security regs for autonomous agents: - liability is segmented across pipelines - doubling down on 2025 guidelines (which carry no fines) will this be treated as blasé as the EU AI Act

why the spanish ai hack is fucked: - ONE agent, not multi agent system orchestration - existing model, not some frontier research model - human supervision cannot deal with scale or speed - non-human id stopped the attack instantly people have no idea what's coming
