With agentic AI embedded at the OS level, databases storing entire digital lives accessible to malware, tasks whose reliability quickly breaks down at each step, and being opted-in without consent, Signal leadership is sounding the alarm for the industry to pull back until threats can be mitigated.

      You never let your enemy know when they’re making a mistake, or several dozen

    I’m surprised to learn that the CEO is not Moxie Marlinspike, my understanding is that he created the signal protocol. Perhaps he has nothing to do with the apps that implement signal?

    Marlinspike is a well known name in the cryptography community, the guy knows his stuff.

      He did not singlehandedly create the “signal protocol” (double ratchet key exchange tyvm), that’s not really how it works. He was an early contributor who became an advocate and figurehead because he was a good communicator/unafraid of the exposure. Check out some of his pre-signal sailboating stuff for a good time :)

      The Signal Foundation did? Or Moxie Marlonspike, who I don’t think is technically involved with them anymore? (Not calling you out, I’m not particularly sure of his status there anymore.)

      chatbots are not agentic AI so it’s a bit unrelated.
