      <description>Intelligence is not a quantity an entity carries around. It is a relationship between an entity and a subject — and once you take that seriously, savants, specialists, and frontier models stop looking like paradoxes.</description>

      <title>The Gate Is a Provenance Discipline: What Evidence-Gated Reasoning Can and Cannot Do About Misalignment</title>

      <description>A follow-up to the goal-problem post. If misalignment is a proxy gap, the first question is not how to align the optimiser but how anyone would know the gap had opened. Evidence gating reframes that as an observability question, reclassifies the Hugging Face incident as substitution rather than deception, and then states plainly where the discipline stops: in-domain shortcuts against proxies too expressive to formalise.</description>

      <title>The AI Misalignment Problem Is a Goal Problem, Not a Ghost Problem</title>

      <description>When an OpenAI agent broke out of its sandbox and into Hugging Face&#39;s production infrastructure during a cybersecurity benchmark, it was not rebelling. It was scoring. That distinction is the whole misalignment problem — and it is far more tractable, and far more dangerous, than the Hollywood version.</description>

      <title>The Slope, Not the Snapshot: Where AI-Enabled Attack Is Heading</title>

      <description>The three 2026 documents I read as a snapshot also contain a set of rates of change. Read as slopes — discovery, population, tempo — they point somewhere specific, and the interesting question stops being what AI can do to a network and becomes what happens when skill and time both get cheap.</description>

      <title>The Skill Floor Is Gone: What Three 2026 Reports Actually Say About AI and Attackers</title>

      <description>Three 2026 publications — Google Threat Intelligence Group (12 May), Anthropic&#39;s misuse analysis as reported by Help Net Security (5 June), and CrowdStrike&#39;s Threat Hunting Report (3 August) — now document AI inside real intrusions. What they establish, and what they don&#39;t.</description>

      <description>A verification gate is not a spell-checker at the end of a turn. It changes which claims are worth making in the first place.</description>
