• The post promotes Perturb AI and Bittensor subnet SN26 as an open competition for stress-testing AI models before attackers do.
• It argues that AI is getting powerful faster than it is getting secure, citing an OpenAI incident as the motivation for harder model and infrastructure defenses.
• The pitch: miners continuously probe models for weak spots, discoveries are objectively verified, and developers receive failure cases they can use to harden systems before production.
• The attached image reinforces the security theme with a tongue-in-cheek cartoon about model training, distillation attacks, API hackers, and data crawlers.
