CTRL+F A paper club for the skeptical

Read between
the lines.

AI security. System failures. Famous papers with uncomfortable questions. We read the research, inspect the assumptions, and argue about what actually holds up.

01 / THE READING ROOM

Start with a question.

Five papers, from classic system security to agentic AI. Each brief is deliberately short. The real work starts when you disagree.

05 briefs on the shelf

02 / THE FORMAT

Not another
slide deck.

A simple way to turn reading into conversation. No expertise test. No need to have all the answers. Show up with one good question.

10 MIN

The setup

What problem was this paper trying to solve?

15 MIN

The breakdown

Understand the method, the evidence, and the claimed result.

20 MIN

The challenge

Pick apart assumptions, debate defenses, find failure cases.

15 MIN

The open question

What would we test next? Leave with a falsifiable idea.

03 / WHY CTRL+F?
Because the most interesting part of a paper is often what it doesn't prove.

CTRL+F is a space for reading security research actively, not collecting summaries. We pair foundational ideas with modern AI systems, asking what changed, what stayed broken, and what evidence would change our minds.

Papers are linked to their original sources. Briefs distinguish reported findings from our interpretation, and prompts are invitations to think, not tests with a single right answer.
