Cryptographer Matthew Green discusses Anthropic's new cryptanalysis results, which include attacks on the signature scheme HAWK and reduced-round AES. The attacks demonstrate the capabilities of advanced models, but highlight the need for human verification and the limitations of current AI-powered cryptanalysis. AI summary

You argue that open-weight model releases are a relatively mild AI risk compared with dangers originating inside labs, contending that Amodei’s post mislocates the primary threat. Citing incidents like the OpenAI/Hugging Face episode, you emphasize that modalities of internal development and deployed systems—not merely public model availability—are where the first serious AI incidents are likely to arise.
