Security veteran chrisrohlf poses an open question: with $1B and unlimited tokens on the best frontier models, where should you apply them to make a significant dent in cybersecurity over 6-12 months? He adds that bodies like the Frontier Model Forum are useful but warns against being slowed by too many working groups; this is a golden window where work that once took dozens of people months can now be done in hours or days given enough compute — yet none of it matters without adoption and diffusion. Finding vulns with AI won't be nearly enough; he calls on OSS maintainers, enterprise security teams and engineers to work at machine speed and keeps soliciting community ideas.
