          Maybe you didn’t read it, but the article expresses that LLMs are being used to find vulnerabilities in software.

          The only real argument it makes that Mythos isn’t special is that other LLMs and human security researchers can also find vulnerabilities. This is true, but I find it funny because in the same section they note that it found 271 vulnerabilities in Firefox. I don’t think this article is the gotcha that you think it is.

          You strike me as just another Lemmy drone that downvoted and hates everything AI. And the energy and negativity with which you’re attacking me when all I was doing was answering a comment about why so many vulnerabilities are being found these days with an actual true statement is just weird man. Save your AI anger for someone else.

            Except that it is? There’s nothing particularly special about mythos and it’s not “too dangerous” to release. LLMs make it easier for people to find potential vulnerabilities, true. But they cannot actually confirm that they’re real wothout an actual person verifying it. Lots of reports are bogus.

            Do I hate AI? Of course I do. It literally has nothing positive unless you’re an ai company’s ceo. It’s being sold at a heavily subsidized price that is literally unmaintainable. All models will have to use token based pricing and that’s wgen you’ll see what it actually costs (spoiler alert, it’s a fuckton of money). This awfyl technology is also why a lot of tech is getting increasingly expensive.

            Not to mention that for these models to exist, all of these companies stole unfathomable amounts of data and caused chaos in the job market. Aaron Swartz’s life was turned into hell for much less.

            You’re literally defending a product that’s enshitifying your life. It’s absolutely moronic.
