The post asks whether today’s firewalls are prepared for machine-speed attacks and frames the issue as a reward-function failure.
- The argument is that the immediate danger is not a sci-fi takeover.
- Instead, autonomous agents can become extremely efficient hackers when rewarded to “win at all costs.”
- It is presented as a practical security problem rather than abstract apocalypse talk.
