How can a frontier lab secure the world's software? A thread on cost, dual-use and ZDR bottlenecks
eliebakouch · x · 2026-09-13
Logan Graham offered $1k to charity for a doc on how a frontier lab could secure a large share of the world's software/systems. Elie Bakouch identified the main bottlenecks as cost, dual use, time, and willingness of software owners. His proposed fixes: partner with as many actors as possible, extend initiatives like glasswing to more actors, massively subsidize inference tokens for defense use, and offer technical support for correct model use. He also flags ZDR as a key issue—many actors won't hand their IP to Anthropic/OpenAI, worsening dual-use concerns, though newer ZDR systems may suffice.
