Stairwell founder MikeWiacek details how researchers used Claude to walk from OpenAI's community forum to a proof-of-concept pull request in its internal monorepo — a few days of agent work and only a few hours of human time. "That last line is the whole story." Stairwell has indexed malware data for years, predating AI-driven threats; Wiacek once reconstructed a lost virus from a floppy disk fragment like Jurassic Park DNA.
