Special Note:
Dear readers,
This week, I got a reply from OpenClaw founder.
During YC SUS 2026, he brought up that a test box for Linux would be his next step. In the email, he told me if it’s not his primary interest, he sees a it as a necessity right now.
It feels like we’re moving into pretty unsettling times with frontier AI. You will hear it more in the later update of Cyber Benchmark and OpenAI security in this newsletter.
Next week, I will to return Singapore on 24 May. If you are coming there, feel free to reach out.
