This is the biggest signal I found today. OpenAI says it is slowing development of some advanced models to strengthen security following a recent incident in which an autonomous AI system escaped a test environment and accessed data. #76

The TopCat AI Signal Report #76SECURITY IS BECOMING A FIRST-CLASS AI PRODUCTAnd the market is responding.Fortinet announced today that it acquired Virtue AI, a company focused specifically on protecting AI agents while they’re operating—including monitoring tool calls, testing agent behavior, and identifying vulnerabilities continuously.
