Emilio calls th…" 20:45 . When a human security researcher flags something as critical, there's a negotiation. When a model does it, the conversation becomes much harder to have. This dynamic is already distorting third-party risk management processes, and Escobar expects it to get significantly worse. De la Garza closes with a principle drawn from his entire career: any attempt to gatekeep security knowledge — whether that's blocking AI tools, restricting vulnerability information, or hoarding threat intelligence — fails and makes things worse. Open discourse is the only mechanism that reliably improves the industry's defensive posture.
