LLMs are a massively disruptive technology causing a lot of harm and information security is one of the areas most impacted by it. It has been heavily adopted for offense and defense. It's very scary how good the latest models are at finding vulnerabilities and even developing exploits for those. It isn't viable for GrapheneOS to pretend that isn't the case and skip protecting our users from it. There's an ongoing crisis for privacy and security but attackers only have a temporary advantage.

Privacy and security on computers was always always thoroughly neglected. It is no longer nearly as viable to continue doing so and dismissing it as only mattering in targeted attacks. The vulnerabilities being discovered were nearly entirely already there and it's a good thing they're getting found and fixed. Many years of technical debt must be repaid. Decisions such as monolithic kernels and massive codebases written in C and C++ must be repaid. We have to somehow keep users safe through it.
