Commenting on an AI-involved hacking incident, robertskmiles argues the hacking itself isn't the interesting part—what the AI did is. His analogy: if an entire elementary school of kids teamed up to lock teachers in a closet and hack grades, you'd want psychologists and anthropologists, not just a computer security firm. He points to Redwood Research and METR as the right people to explain the AI side of the event.
