Yes, maybe what is hard for LLMs and what is hard for humans have a very small overlap. But calling it brute force or low-hanging fruits is still a bit absurd. You can safely argue that it's statistics, because by…
Call these problems "low hanging fruits" may be the understatement of the century.
Not the one you are replying to, but an argument I heard is that 1) It is now much easier to work in a language with better security features such as Rust. Previously, there definitely was some kind of trade-off between…
True, it's a theory; basically a hypothesis derived from my experience with LLMs and their performance in CTFs/finding and exploiting vulnerabilities. Plausible, I believe, but I don't have any hard evidence of it…
> I'm much less likely to get hacked in this new era of AI assistance, as I'm only a few days behind, rathe than a few months or years behind. Yes, but also, attackers are much faster now and complex chains of…
I would assume that in many (smaller, non-professional) systems/code bases, it is also possible to poison the backups and code base in general. This would have been a major effort in the pre-LLM age, but it should be…
I've been mostly reading here but created an account to disagree with this statement: The smartest people I know were always amazing at explaining. This was true for me as undergrad and graduate student where the…
