US official: Russia's stalker satellite sure looks like an orbital weapon https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/10/russia-claims-its-stalker-satellite-is-purely-peaceful-in-character/
One of the challenges now is that anytime something bad happens in the tech world AI companies are incentivised to claim they did it. As their currency is publicity and relevance, not details.
It doesn’t help that it’s a zero-consequence environment. If somebody did a NotPetya and wiped 10k PCs, it wouldn’t surprise me if people discuss saying Claude did it - as there’s currently no downsides, it just makes you look powerful to C level execs.
If anybody reads this OpenAI post and thinks AI found a zero day - no. This one was patched months ago, not found by OpenAI, and reported by an old-school fuzzer.
