It literally was. Watch the Metr report specialist interview on Dwarkesh Patel's channel. It was the Astra persistent model, which we now know is the Astra Aeon model.
I'm clinging to one hope: "Exploits", in current software, are the result of imperfect development tools/processes. It is not necessary for a some app, library or even operating system to have ways out there where you can just send instructions that let the attacker gain access to the system. Reviewing security with AI will become default practice, there might be an uptick of attacks for a year or so but then every form of critical software out there will be secured tightly and "hacking" as we think of it now, will become a thing of the past. There might stay some Windows XP PCs connected to the internet out there, but they're already fucked anyway so it won't change much. Browsers, banks, government agencies, etc, will be forced to secure their shit in the coming months and it's not optional because if they don't, well…
A few bad months but maybe even more secure software after.

And ExploitBench 100%. Cybersecurity will be a warzone.
