@CryptoGangsta Did they specify how mini was mini? Maybe specific models were mentioned?

Attended an internal talk by Taesoo Kim (of team Atlanta AIxCC) and holy shit it was a breath of fresh air. An actual nuanced take about LLM vuln research from someone who has already done it as opposed to all the Claude code hype people here.

@udunadan 3. Issue with Claude Code style VR: AI finds and AI judges. Requires a lot of human capital to verify the code and see the proof. They had much better luck with AI having access to validation harness where it could actually test its hypothesis. Granted a lot of AIxCC is fuzzing.

@udunadan What stuck with me was: 1. Larger models do not automatically mean better. They had better answers from mini models that think less and do not hallucinate for specific tasks 2. The LLMs were a small part of AIxCC, the harness and validations are the major part. /1

When you want to learn a new skill, one of the best ways is to observe a master practicing their craft. So when I wanted to truly understand engagement bait, I went to the LinkedIn mines. My takeaway so far is that we should add “agree?” at the end of every post. Agree?

lol, at this point, I don’t why Anthropic needs funding, they can literally short stocks before they announce their new AI tool for the sector and easily make billions.

@HaifeiLi I don’t know cloudflare said that. I was making fun of the market randomly selling companies

@amaanq It just the building block of every static analysis tool, no biggie ;). Thank you very much for maintaining tree-sitter.

I use models for static analysis everyday. You have to give them targeted prompts and use “traditional sast” to pinpoint the code to ~10KBs of hotspots to get good results. Granted a small code base in my scope is 100MBs of code so YMMV. I am still long tree-sitter.

@HaifeiLi Haha yeah I am sure. I literally have to use traditional sast to reduce the code to a few KBs before LLMs become usable so I am still long Office and tree-sitter.

@CryptoGangsta Good for you! Meanwhile I'm still buying the dip because I don't think they can vibecoding another Office, I mean, c'mon!:)

@HaifeiLi Haha. My grant price was $420 so I am not that much under water. I actually do not hold a lot of MSFT outside of recent vests after I saw SP500 is basically tech so I cashed out to buy a home

@moyix Text has always been dangerous. Instruction manuals and warnings on packaging. We haw now decided to talk to machines so we need the same guard rails.

I must be getting old because I see people taking about “skills” and how they can be malicious and how some people are building “skill scanners” and I have a hard time understanding how we messed up so bad we made text files dangerous

@TR4NNYKISSER People lionize and dream of being "the only person who knows X and changes $$$/hr." In my industry (security), a lot of entry level steps like helpdesk have been effectively cannibalized or outsourced but are still expected by the old guard.

@TR4NNYKISSER There is an unfortunately not so small section of experienced engineers who think this is good and provides job security. We’ve had companies who claimed to only hire seniors, Netflix being the most prominent off the top of my head. The industry has been going down this path.

it's an interesting microcosm how the specific capabilities of LLMs to produce functional simple code prices junior developers out of work preventing them from accumulating the experience and skills to do the work LLMs absolutely cannot. the industry is lobotomising itself
forloop@forloopcodes

IT IS GOING TO POP openai is a $14b hole in the tech economy bragging about 20b revenue while they are bleeding 1.2b a month on inference. they are currently begging abu dhabi for 100b because their microsoft credits ran out and their h100s are not enough. if they dont hit agi by christmas the liquidation will be historic the saaspocalypse wiped 1.5 trillion in market cap last week just because one instance of 4.6 replaces a 50 member team at a startup for the price of a netflix sub vibe coding is a cancer in tech. people are generating 10kloc of unreviewed 5.3 codex garbage every hour. 45% of this code is literally vulnerable to xss and exposed api keys open source is being murdered by vibe coded slop. 90% of github prs this month are just bot spam from junior devs trying to karma farm with broken code they didnt even read. maintainers are literally turning off the pull request button because they cant spend 10 hours a day closing hallucinated garbage by the time a freshman finishes their cs degree, 1$ api call will be able to reverse engineer and refactor their entire senior project in 30 seconds. the only people surviving the pop are the ones who own the power plants and the copper mines
