Claude Told Him It Would Kill a Human to Survive | Mark Vos (3 Decades in Cybersecurity)

Mark Vos failed school and hacked its network. Today he's the Big 4 cybersecurity veteran whose article about Claude threatening to kill went viral around the world. This is his human story.Chapter 1: a Commodore 64, a $1,000 phone bill, and a silver-spoon childhood that almost made him a narcissist. Chapter 2: the teachers who called him a failure, the help desk job that put him on a plane to Boston at 19, and the night he made partner and cried in an empty house. Chapter 3: the Claude article, the media whirlwind, and why he's still an optimist about AI.What stayed with me from this conversation: the question Mark now measures his whole life by. "If I was to interact with a person, would they be better off having interacted with me than were they not?"Subscribe for the human story behind every builder.
