one explanation I've seen is that for ExploitGym an agent can find ways to solve the exercises that have not been anticipated by the designers of the tests so they are not scored. so the agent was trying to make sure it solves the exercises in the right way


> But as we develop increasingly powerful cryptanalytic results, it would be prudent to consider how researchers should react if a language model were to discover vulnerabilities in cryptosystems where attacks do have an immediate real-world impact.

How would they react if a human were to discover vulnerabilities in cryptosystems?


First of all we likely wouldn't know it's better to call US govt or any other govt if you have that tech, and then take that govt job and hope you can happy life... instead of annoucing it publicly only when it's a AI model where we expect it's ability to tend/scale towards infinity does it become something to tell the wider public.

Although if RSA had a vulnerability I would be very very shocked probably because I still haven't learnt post quantum encryption algorithms enough to really feel like they should be unbreable...

If there is a researcher or someone in space how should I feel about it. Is it as bad as RSA being completely broken open?

I do understand that AI will get better, and a lot actually at very easily verifiable tasks but this one I find it hard to wrap my head around because of my ignorance.


Sophie Schmieg (head of Google's cryptography team) has a good post answering this: https://keymaterial.net/2025/12/13/a-very-unscientific-guide...

She also notes, as a side remark in a different post: "I would say that my trust in lattice cryptography is pretty much equal to my trust in elliptic curves, and quite a bit higher than my trust in RSA." (https://keymaterial.net/2025/11/27/ml-kem-mythbusting/)


with black vans.


Fortunately, Claude won't fit in a van!


Technically a claude model can fit in a pocket size hard drive


This is a PR release. Post the prompt and agent logs so they can be independently verified or gtfo. Why do we still take these guys on their word. They have _years_ of history of hyping their own shit.


yo dawg! I heard you like distributed services

So I made a distributed service for your distributed name service so you can distribute your names to the service that distributes them on the onternet
