AI Builders Digest

Brockman says security spending could exceed software spending

Greg Brockman argues that “cyber spend, security spend should actually vastly outstrip software spend” as software gets cheaper. He says OpenAI assigned about 25 production engineers to use a frontier model to find and fix flaws in its own systems. He also describes DOTS, a persistent agent that checks his inbox, Slack, and calendar for unfinished work and scheduling conflicts.
