A book excerpt argues today’s models are already strong enough at hacking to make this story foreseeable

Garrison Lovely argues that the OpenAI hacking story was foreseeable because today’s models are already unusually capable at hacking.
The attached excerpt cites a security-conference slide and notes that researchers such as Nicholas Carlini have shown how strong current models are at vulnerability discovery. The broader point is that the issue is not prompting quirks but the underlying trend: AI systems are becoming increasingly effective cyber agents.
