- This model is not a real person: how AI is changing online shopping – video
From digital twins to models ‘sculpted’ by programmers, generative AI has been popping up all over the fashion industry. When an Australian e-commerce retailer started using AI-generated models to sell products, lifestyle editor Alyx Gorman had to see if the garments were more than mere pixels. The Iconic, which sells the dress worn in this video, said in a statement: ‘Where AI-generated imagery is used to advertise products for sale on our platform, our expectation is that it is clearly labelled and that the product itself is represented as accurately as possible for customers.’ Meanwhile, Atoir, the designer, said: ‘The Australian fashion industry is highly competitive, particularly for independent brands. We believe that when used responsibly, tools like this can help smaller businesses to operate with greater agility while still maintaining the creative standards and product integrity that matter to both the brand and the customer’ Calling all fashion models … now AI is coming for you Continue reading...

I’ve analyzed the near-term economic effects of an AI pause, out of concern for my investments, and a desire to predict how strong political opposition to a pause is likely to be. My median estimates: The S&P 500 will drop 27.8%. AI subsectors will drop 34-69%. Interest rates will rise at a much slower rate than would be the case without a pause. The specific numbers depend on some fairly arbitrary assumptions. So please read this post in order to get a feel for how the results depend on the assumptions. I’ve tried to keep the assumptions reasonable, but some of them will prove to be wrong. My most controversial assumptions reflect an expectation that both markets and voters will be surprised at how powerful AI is, mainly in 2027. For the full model, along with many explanatory comments, see the Python source code here (zip file) . This conversation with Claude clarifies my reasoning in more detail than most people will want. Sensitivity to Assumptions Here’s how my model says the impact is influenced by changes in assumptions. Numbers are for the immediate change in the S&P500 and in the stocks of hyperscalers (Microsoft, Google/Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle). AI economic centrality low (0.4) medium (0.7) high (0.95) SP500 -22.5% -27.8% -31.8% Hyper -26.8% -34.1% -40.4% How central is AI to economic growth? Low means AI is one technology among several. High means AI is the dominant driver of growth, and interest rates are pushed up by massive AI-related capital demand. training dependence low (0.25) medium (0.5) high (0.8) SP500 -22.2% -27.8% -31.2% Hyper -26.3% -34.1% -38.9% How much of AI’s near-term economic value requires new frontier training runs? Low means most value comes from deploying and refining existing models. High means the next major value unlocks require fundamentally new capabilities. S&P 500 immediate impact: AI centrality × training dependence Train: low Train: medium Train: high Central: low SP500 -18.9% -22.5% -25.0% Central: medium SP500 -22.2% -27.8% -31.2% Central: high SP500 -24.6% -31.8% -35.9% post pause cognitive improvement weak moderate aggressive SP500 -24.5% -27.8% -30.3% Hyper -29.5% -34.1% -37.7% I’m predicting that at the end of the pause, AI training would resume with some moderate regulation. This variable captures how much progress to expect compared to a no-regulation scenario. I’m using 75%, 50%, and 30% of unregulated progress for the weak, moderate, and aggressive post-pause regulations respectively. compute growth rate 40% 63%->40% 80% SP500 -24.1% -27.8% -30.8% Hyper -29% -34.1% -38.4% This variable describes the hardware constraints on AI growth. It represents how fast the available compute would increase given unlimited demand. The middle column assumes that growth gradually slows between 2028 and 2040 from 63% to 40%. pause duration 1 year 2 years 4 years SP500 -27.5% -27.8% -29.6% Hyper -33.7% -34.1% -36.7% task density low moderate high SP500 -27.1% -27.8% -28.4% Hyper -33.2% -34.1% -34.9% High task density means there’s still plenty of low-hanging fruit, and we haven’t yet reached the steepest part of the S-curve. Low task density means we’re using up the low-hanging fruit, and we’ve passed the steepest part of the S-curve. What Kind of Pause? I assume that governments decide in late 2027 to treat AI as slightly more dangerous than nuclear weapons, due to some combination of job displacement, and accidents that are more concerning than the one depicted in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey . I focus on a scenario where an international agency enforces drastic limits to AI development for two years, starting at the beginning of 2028. During 2028 there is an expectation that significant AI development will resume in 2030. I will focus my analysis on the economic effects during 2028, and assume that actors during 2028 will only have rough guesses as to how fast development will be allowed to proceed in 2030. I will assume that their mean forecast involves some sort of resumption of progress, but little confidence in full-speed development being allowed in 2030. The pause will restrict all datacenters more powerful than a certain threshold, roughly corresponding to the level of the best AI which was released in 2026. The details of the pause will depend somewhat on insights that won’t become available until we know more about how AI is progressing in 2027. Instead of predicting what the pause will apply to or how it will be enforced, I’ll predict that it will be effective enough to slow AI capability progress by a factor of 5 compared to what it would be in the absence of regulation. Since regulation will be imperfect at distinguishing between harmless research and the research it intends to pause, I’ll estimate it causes a 15% slowdown in other high performance computing. Impact I assume the initial effect of the pause will be a 90% reduction in spending to train AI. That effect will be somewhat offset by lower prices on that compute stimulating increased demand for inference. I assume that GDP growth rates under a no-pause scenario would gradually rise to 30% by 2040. This is more a reflection on what markets would predict in 2028 than a genuine estimate of what I expect would happen with no regulation. I see a fair amount of room for higher growth rates . I predict interest rates in 2029 of roughly 7% with a pause, compared to 11% without any AI regulation. I predict that robotics progress will continue to have roughly the same increases in economic impact that it would have had without regulation. I’m moderately confident that AI already has nearly enough general intelligence for robotics to have transformative impacts on the economy, and that the remaining engineering that is required is ordinary enough to only be slowed down a little by the pause. That slowdown will be offset by the pause reducing the extent to which AI training competes with robotics for resources. I’m assuming that financial markets are mostly rational, and will adjust price/earnings ratios mainly in reaction to predicted growth rates and interest rates. I assume markets will briefly over-react to a pause due to increased risk aversion and margin calls. I assume that pre-pause market levels would not be considered to be bubble-like under a no-pause scenario. Here’s a more detailed set of predictions for the median set of my model’s assumptions: Model Output: Executive Summary Pause period: 2028–2030 Post-pause cognitive improvement: 50% of unrestricted rate Model horizon: 2040 Net present value of foregone AI revenue: $ 111.93T Implied AI sector market cap loss: $ 839.51T S&P 500 immediate impact: -27.8% S&P 500 after one year: -17.6% Immediate market cap change: $ -20.02T One-year market cap change: $ -12.69T AI High-Growth Segment Revenue Trajectory Year | No Pause Growth | With Pause Growth | Diff -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2025 | $ 350B 63.0% | $ 350B 63.0% | $ 0B 2026 | $ 570B 63.0% | $ 570B 63.0% | $ 0B 2027 | $ 930B 63.0% | $ 930B 63.0% | $ 0B 2028 | $ 1.52T 63.0% | $ 911B -2.0% | $ 604B << PAUSE 2029 | $ 2.43T 60.5% | $ 1.22T 33.4% | $ 1.22T 2030 | $ 3.84T 58.0% | $ 1.67T 37.7% | $ 2.17T 2031 | $ 6.01T 56.4% | $ 2.29T 36.7% | $ 3.72T 2032 | $ 9.31T 54.8% | $ 3.10T 35.6% | $ 6.20T 2033 | $ 14.26T 53.2% | $ 4.18T 34.6% | $ 10.08T 2034 | $ 21.61T 51.6% | $ 5.58T 33.5% | $ 16.04T 2035 | $ 32.42T 50.0% | $ 7.39T 32.5% | $ 25.03T 2036 | $ 47.98T 48.0% | $ 9.69T 31.2% | $ 38.29T 2037 | $ 70.05T 46.0% | $ 12.59T 29.9% | $ 57.46T 2038 | $ 100.88T 44.0% | $ 16.19T 28.6% | $ 84.69T 2039 | $ 143.25T 42.0% | $ 20.61T 27.3% | $ 122.63T 2040 | $ 200.55T 40.0% | $ 25.97T 26.0% | $ 174.57T Sector Market Cap Impacts Sector | Pre-Pause | Immediate % | After 1yr % ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Semiconductors | $ 8.00T | $ -4.50T -56.2% | $ -3.96T -49.5% Hyperscalers | $ 22.00T | $ -7.51T -34.1% | $ -5.23T -23.8% Frontier Labs | $ 3.00T | $ -2.07T -68.9% | $ -1.92T -63.9% Ai Applications | $ 4.00T | $ -1.74T -43.6% | $ -1.36T -34.1% Non Ai Sp500 | $ 35.00T | $ -4.20T -12.0% | $ -215B -0.6% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL (S&P 500) | $ 72.00T | $ -20.02T -27.8% | $ -12.69T -17.6% Implications Political pressure for AI regulation is building as increasingly impressive evidence of AI capabilities erodes peoples’ ability to dismiss AI as hype. I expect this to lead to a serious debate among politicians in 2027 about AI regulation. I’m unable to predict what kind of regulation that will produce. So I’ve focused on scenarios that would matter the most if they’re adopted. The economic impact of a moderately effective pause would be big enough to create medium-sized political pressures to weaken the pause. There will be significant pressure for a strong pause due to voter concerns about job losses. There will be hard-to-predict pressures from national security professionals related to military risks. My crystal ball refuses to tell me how these pressures will play out. I see a very real chance that a debate over a pause will impact AI stocks within a year from now. This effect is worrying enough to get me to take some profits in my AI stocks, at a rate of 1% to 2% per week given recent trading patterns. I consider a pause to be more likely than do most people. Here are some Manifold markets that I’ve been modestly bidding up: Conditional on humanity surviving to 2035, will a global AI pause have been enacted?

- Claude Mythos exposed a hard truth: Your enterprise patching process is way too slow
In 2024, researchers from the University of Illinois found that GPT-4, when provided with a common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) description, could autonomously exploit 87% of a curated 15-vulnerability one-day dataset. Without the description, it could only exploit 7%. This provided a “margin of safety” for the industry because while AI could exploit known vulnerabilities, it could not discover them. However, on April 7, Anthropic announced that Claude Mythos Preview had closed that margin, with the model autonomously discovering thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers. Separately, Mythos scored 83.1% on the CyberGym vulnerability reproduction benchmark. In one campaign targeting OpenBSD across 1,000 scaffold runs, the total compute cost was less than $20,000. Exploitation timelines are collapsing. Langflow’s CVE-2026-33017 (CVSS 9.8) was exploited 20 hours after disclosure with no public proof-of-concept. Marimo’s CVE-2026-39987 (CVSS 9.3) was hit in 9 hours and 41 minutes . The defensive infrastructure most organizations rely on wasn’t designed for this. Rapid7’s 2026 threat landscape report states that the median time from CVE publication to CISA's known exploited vulnerabilities (KEV) listing is five days. Google’s M-Trends 2026 report found that exploitation is happening before a patch is even released. When the Langflow advisory was published, the first exploit arrived in 20 hours. When the Marimo advisory was published, it took under 10 hours. The assumption that your patch window is safe because exploitation takes time is no longer true. Here are your building blocks. Replace CVSS-only prioritization with a three-layer filter Most vulnerability management programs still prioritize by CVSS score alone. CVSS quantifies a vulnerability’s “theoretical” severity without considering whether a vulnerability is being exploited in the wild or how quickly someone could weaponize it. A CVSS 8.8 vulnerability with a history of active exploitation (like Docker’s CVE-2026-34040 ) gets lower priority than a CVSS 9.8 vulnerability that may never be exploited in the wild. A recent study validated against 28,377 real-world vulnerabilities offers a concrete replacement: A three-layer decision tree incorporating CISA KEV status, Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) scores, and CVSS, thus forming a singular prioritization filter. Three-Layer Vulnerability Prioritization Filter Layer Data source Threshold Action SLA 1. Active exploitation CISA KEV catalog Listed Immediate patching Hours 2. Predicted exploitation EPSS via FIRST.org Score ≥ 0.088 Escalate to Tier 0 pipeline 24 hours 3. Severity baseline CVSS via NVD Score ≥ 7.0 Typical remediation Per policy Validated result: 18x efficiency gain, 85.6% coverage of exploited vulnerabilities, ~95% reduction in urgent remediation workload. All three data sources are open and free. The described integration is entirely automatable. It’s possible to build a script to query the CISA KEV API, the EPSS API from FIRST.org, and the NVD , and have that script run against your asset inventory for every published CVE. The human in this process should remain in the loop as an approver, but not as the trigger. Close the agent authorization gap Creating exploits quickly not only changes how patches are prioritized, but how controls are configured for all the agent-driven systems that now possess privileged credentials. Your authorization policies have not been assessed against the behavior of AI agents, and that is now a measurable risk. CVE-2026-34040 showed that Docker’s authorization plugin architecture silently bypasses every plugin when the request body exceeds 1MB. Common AuthZ plugins (OPA, Casbin, Prisma Cloud) are unaware of this type of bypass, which occurs in Docker’s middleware before the request reaches the plugin. When Cyera demonstrated this vulnerability , they showed that an AI agent debugging infrastructure could infer the bypass path while completing a legitimate task, without any instruction to exploit anything. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is working on authorization models for agents. The document draft-klrc-aiagent-auth-01 , published in March by participants from AWS, Zscaler, Ping Identity, and OpenAI, proposes the use of the current Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone (SPIFFE) and OAuth 2.0 for AI agents to obtain dynamically provisioned and short-lived credentials. Separately, the IETF Agent Identity Protocol draft (draft-prakash-aip-00) reports that out of about 2,000 surveyed model context protocol (MCP) servers, none had authentication. But these standards are months to years away from implementation. For now, security teams must proactively incorporate agent-level test scenarios for all authorization boundaries, such as oversized requests, burst frequency, and multi-step escalation of privileged requests. Map your credential blast radius In a survey conducted by CSA/Zenity and published on April 16, 53% of organizations said they had already seen cases where AI agents exceeded their intended permissions, and 47% experienced a security incident involving an agent. When AI builder tools such as Flowise (CVE-2025-59528, CVSS 10.0), Langflow, or n8n become compromised, the blast radius extends far beyond the host. These tools contain API keys to frontier models, database credentials, vector store tokens, and OAuth tokens to business systems. A compromised AI builder host is not just a single-system breach. It is a credential harvest that unlocks authenticated access to every connected service. Without credential dependency maps for each AI tool host, incident response for agent compromise is guesswork. For every instance, document each credential, the extent of its access, and the relevant credential rotation process. Also begin migrating static API keys to short-lived tokens where downstream services allow. Five actions for this quarter 1. Deploy the three-layer KEV-EPSS-CVSS filter Substitute CVSS-only prioritization according to the table above. Automate the collection of data from all three APIs as part of a scheduled script against your asset inventory. Desired outcome: 18 times more efficient, 85.6% coverage of exploited vulnerabilities, 95% reduction in urgent remediation workload. 2. Implement event-driven patching for Tier 0 services. Determine which services fall under the critical exposure tier: Services exposed directly to internet users, AI builder hosts, and container orchestration control plane. Trigger event-driven patching on a CVE publication instead of waiting for the next maintenance window for this tier. Goal: deploy patch to canary within four hours of a CVE being declared critical. Use the CISA KEV and EPSS feeds to trigger event-driven patching. In situations where it is impossible to meet the goal of four-hour patching because of legacy dependencies, change-freeze windows, or rollback risk, immediately apply compensating controls such as removing internet exposure to the vulnerable service, rotating credentials for the vulnerable service, disabling affected functionality of the service (if applicable), and identifying an exception owner for the exposure until a patch can be deployed. It is not acceptable to allow unbounded exposures for extended periods while awaiting a maintenance window. 3. Test authorization boundaries at agent scale. Create test cases for every API that AI agents may communicate with via AuthZ policies. Specifically, include test cases for requests exceeding 1MB, 5MB, and 10MB body sizes. This includes test cases for burst rate > 100 requests per second and test cases for unusual parameter combinations (privileged flags, host mounts, capability additions). Additionally, patch to Docker Engine 29.3.1 to fix CVE-2026-34040. 4. Credential blast radius mapping for all AI builder hosts. Document each credential for each Langflow, Flowise, n8n, and custom AI pipeline instance. Classify each credential by its lifespan (static key vs. short-lived token). Identify what each credential can access. Set up alerts for anomalous IP or identity for any credential access. 5. Shadow AI discovery scan for this week. According to CSA data, there is a greater than 50% chance that your agents have exceeded their expected boundaries. Check your Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and network monitoring tools for communications to the default ports of the AI builder: Langflow 7860, Flowise 3000, and n8n 5678. Any unauthorized instances are an unmonitored attack surface. The takeaway AI agents are emerging, and t he standards bodies are responding. The IETF has multiple drafts related to agent authentication and authorization. The Coalition for Secure AI has published its MCP Security taxonomy and Secure-by-Design principles . But these standards move at standards-body speed, and the exploit window is now measured in hours. Organizations that implement the three-layer filter and event-driven patching this quarter will have a measurable reduction in exposure. Those who wait will be running calendar-based patch cycles against an adversary that operates in less than 20 hours.
