## What Jamie wrote

This is an interesting read of the impact AI is having on securing and exploiting systems.

> If Mythos continues to find exploits so long as you keep throwing money at it, security is reduced to a brutally simple equation: **to harden a system you need to spend more tokens discovering exploits than attackers will spend exploiting them**.

In a way this isn't completely surprising since to exploit something you need to find one path but to secure it you need multiple paths? But either way the economics here are concerning.
