    OpenAI reported the Artifactory vulnerability, patched it, then the agents immediately found a new zero day.

    Oracle is not a software company, but a litigation company. It will be hard to sue people because LLMs generated code similar to some code copyrighted by Oracle if they themselves …

    I wonder if some sort of "taint" analysis could be used - you generate a byte of randomness and trace it back through code until you see all the sources of entropy which were used …

    If the industry most seasoned experts are not using LLMs right now to front-run the discovery of vulnerabilities in the code they are responsible for, they are not experts, but clo…

    And they waited 5 years to exploit it? And do you think the NSA desperately needed $90 mil (the amount stolen so far), so they created this elaborate backdoor? Or were they waiting…

    Because of LLMs we are back to memory being king (KV cache). But there was another thing - clusters of thousands/millions of machine instead of one big iron with all the memory.

    I don't think you want to bring cost into this argument. Even if the cost was $1 mil for these 10 problems, that's maybe 10-20 math researchers for a year. Do you really think that…

    Was HF in on it? They disabled their guardrails too, to please OpenAI? And as seen in the comments here, make many believe they are incompetent and have joke security?

    Now they can do partial credit assignment. You use an LLM to evaluate the whole trajectory, pin point what the model did right, what it did wrong, where it took the wrong path, eve…

    The way the HIV evades effective antibodies is by tricking the immune system to generate antibodies for fake decoy targets that the virus will immediately mutate. So each turn, B-c…
