Hollywood cyberpunk tropes be like: "Attacks are executed in real time. The faster you type, the faster you attack. The more computing power you have, the stronger your attack is." They're basically the silliest jokes among hackers. Unfortunately these jokes may not longer be funny anymore. Perhaps the future of "cyberwarfare" indeed happens in real time from supercomputing centers, carried out by hundreds of LLM agents whose only job is to write exploits for all techniques ever published in textbooks and research papers, and apply them on their target in a single afternoon. The agents don't even need to invent anything new, it's easier than theorem proving.
