A post about the OAI/HF incident argues that the obvious response — training an equally good defender — will not work.
- An attacker only needs to succeed occasionally, while a defender has to succeed every time.
- The two sides are not equally cheap to train.
- The proposed fix is to close the information-judgment gap rather than relying on symmetric defense training.
