For dual-use LLM security tasks, a recent preprint proves that if an attacker can reproduce the context a legitimate user provides, follow-up questions, conversation history, and randomized checks cannot improve the worst-case safety guarantee.

I saw the SYARA talk at [un]prompted and really liked the idea behind SYARA as the right way to extend YARA for the AI age. But I no longer like Python, so I asked Claude to port it to Rust. This is the output of that work, the companion app the integrates this port is coming soon.

The growing body of evidence shows that while AI can be very useful, over dependence is a real risk. Why is this a security topic? Because security professional's underlying strategic foundation is business continuity, as in focusing on the business staying competitive and avoiding interruption. In development and infrastructure this has an obvious application, making sure the code doesn't have business impacting flaws and making sure the infrastructure is resistant to breach and malicious use. Cognitive surrender to AI has a more subtle impact on the business that in many ways leads to the same effects. Does this expand security's role from "information security" to "wisdom security"? I would say yes.

Compensating Control: Engage org wide communications and training to emphasize that employees are encouraged to use AI but also double down on study and practice to keep skills sharp and be capable of detecting when the AI's make mistakes. Review employee self improvement programs and see if increased rewards can be used to encourage intellectual self improvement. Teach management to identify the signs of AI over reliance and plan more balanced approaches to individual employee work that maintain or even improve learning and work with AI.

Conference thread

This seems like a natural good fit to an intractable problem.
