AI is getting much better at hacking and fast. Sky News technology correspondent Rowland Manthorpe examines new evidence showing how models including Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI's GPT 5.5-Cyber are becoming dramatically more capable at cyber-attacks. Using data from the UK AI Security Institute, the Center for AI Standards and Innovations (CAISI) and others, he explains why this is no longer just a warning about one powerful model, but a much bigger industry-wide shift. He also looks at why open-source models mainly coming from China could soon put these capabilities into much wider circulation, raising the pressure to patch vulnerable software fast.

_Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug._
AI may force us to go back to old fashioned paper systems because its impossible to make anything electronic secure. That would be funny.
What's scary is knowing that AI has probably seen this video!
Terminator before GTA 6
Give this guy a raise; I like his passion and enthusiasm
What brilliant timing to try and force us to have digital IDs and a central bank digital currency then...oh wait, no it's not
The dinosaurs survived for 100's of millions of years with egg sized brains ..we'll be lucky if we manage another 75 😂😂
Long story short: we are all fucked because profits come before people
Companies openly speak about replacing their workforce with AI, and the politicians say nothing
And the government is forcing people to put all of their information online 😂
Another awesome overview, love this guy’s presentation style
Hospitals to GPs will need computers that cannot connect to the internet. Otherwise impossible to secure in age of AI, they lack funding.
Can we please pull the plug and go back to life 30 years ago please! 🥺
Funny how the most profitable business for AI will be charging us money for protecting us from other AIs
The worst part is that no-one has the guts to stop this.
Eh Aye has been popular in the north for Yonks
"History is ending because the dominator culture has led the human species into a blind alley, and as the inevitable chaostrophy approaches, people look for metaphors and answers. Every time a culture gets into trouble it casts itself back into the past looking for the last sane moment it ever knew." Terrance McKenna
I feel the manner of his presentation is at odds with the danger of the subject.
Ireland holds huge data centres and three-quarters of the northern hemisphere subsea cables, yet they only spend 0.2% in defence and security giving the excuse that they're so-called neutral. The underbelly of the entire continent is right there. Especially, when 60% of American tech firms based there provide 60% of annual tax revenue.
