The End of Event-Based Cybersecurity, AI Science & World Models | Lightwork

Claire Zau and Josh Machiz are at the New York Stock Exchange for the Fortune Cyber60, in the middle of the stretch people have started calling Black October. Claire explains the PHP vulnerability behind it and the detail that makes this one different from the attacks everyone is used to. No click, no password, no human needed. Most of it is patched now. The thing that isn’t patched is what one person with a swarm of agents does to the entire idea of defending a company, and Claire thinks it ends an era in cybersecurity.Then OpenAI reported results in math, computer science and physics in one week, and the reaction from mathematicians wasn’t what you’d expect. Josh and Claire also get into reports that DoorDash is looking at Instacart, with nothing confirmed, and why groceries might be the most natural job an agent has been handed yet. Plus Google’s Genie 4, what actually separates a world model from a video model, and the strange thing a robot needs in order to learn.
