Brockman: OpenAI set Astra on its own systems until it ran out of holes to find
In an a16z interview clip, Brockman says OpenAI pulled 25% of its production engineers to use Astra for finding security holes and is building a "defense factory."
Greg Brockman says OpenAI pointed Astra at its own systems until it ran out of vulnerabilities to find: "We took 25% of our production engineers and said, 'Sorry, all your projects are on hold. You are now defending. You are now up-leveling our security architecture. You're going to use the models to find all the holes.' And we found a number of serious issues, and we fixed them." "We found some new problems, but eventually it saturated. We basically have found, to our knowledge, all of the P0s, all of the critical problems that Astra is smart enough to find. And of course, there will be a new model, there will be a new round." "You want to be in this tight loop of new cyber capability drops, you deploy it against your systems, you find the new holes, and ideally, you've managed to automate this, what we call defense factory. That's what we're building internally." "There are ideas, for example, formally verifying all of software, that are possible with AI." @gdb @bhorowitz
