I am not sure if I would manage to correctly identify every typical phrase, but the one I quoted I am absolutely certain of. You could try asking an LLM to write some prose about w…

That was my initial thought as well, but on second thought it does not seem like such a good idea to provide binaries that will never get patched for a public-facing service. Sure,…

I would rather claim that building a theoretically secure system is prohibitively expensive. At the end of the day, Mythos et al. are just better tools for finding vulnerabilities …
