    So is this essentially the “gain of function” version of testing digital security? Sure it needs to be done, sure there are huge bug bounties, but this reads like a group of egotistical nihlists Chaos enthusiasts who are leaning heavily on an AI tool, assessing its output, then cleaning the conclusions up for the photo finish and bragging rights.

    The last sentence makes me uneasy "But this is the fun part about AI. Small teams can suddenly do things that used to require entire organizations. With the right strategy and people, even a tiny company can become mighty enough that the world’s largest companies start asking for its help.

    Thanks Mythos Preview.
