kimmonismus argues AI-powered cyberattacks could paradoxically accelerate AI development: the faster attackers find and exploit vulnerabilities, the greater the pressure to deploy AI for defense and close decades-old security gaps—creating an arms race where offensive and defensive capabilities drive each other forward. He expects this loop to speed up, not slow down.
