TheZvi newsletter: PHP zero-day marks worst day in cybersecurity history; Anthropic's draft bill leak deepens
TheZvi · x · 2026-10-22
In AI #191, TheZvi covers what may have been the worst day in cybersecurity history: a critical PHP flaw leaked a day before its fix, scrambling the internet and likely dooming many long-tail sites, alongside several unrelated incidents — with a market opened on whether an even worse day comes before year-end. He also dissects the leaked draft bill Anthropic shopped to Congress (weaker than the FRONTIER Act), arguing Anthropic's initial explanation made things worse despite Dario's improved response. Charts include OpenAI correspondence about a former employee's iMessage data transfers, agent hours overtaking human hours, and China lagging US AI capabilities by 6.5 months.
