This is great. Now ask Mythos to make windows suck less and let it go crazy.
It would certainly make sense to sick it on all those crash reports and complaints. All the obscure 0x error codes that end up with you being punted to the forums for 'community support' and being told to reinstall everything.
Microsoft has released software updates to plug at least 570 security holes

Those errors in 99.9% of the time are hardware related or driver related. I've personally not seen bsod or had a windows crash in years. Last week my on board Lan card started erroring out but windows didn't crash, I just lost internet. Switched to wifi and moved on.

Vibe-coded apps probably have loads, but mostly because they're using less capable models than the people who're doing the bug-hunting. Once vibe-coders are using models like Mythos too you should expect the number of bugs in vibe-coded apps to collapse quickly, because the LLM will write the bugs but will also fix them (assuming the system prompt tells it to.)
For some reasons, models are blind to their own output...
I use Claude to build me a small web app I needed for ages, I'm using its superpowers to discuss/talk about architecture /brainstorm/build plans, and always a fresh context with the built plans.
A few times the plan implementer (subagent writing a code assigned to the task) found something lacking (more often it was test issue related to the code, not the actual flaw of the implementation plan), fixed it on the fly, or found something in the review (last step of each task). Also there's always a technical review for each "slice" (set of tasks), consisting of code review and e2e tests.
Only when it passes I do the fresh code review of the changes with the Opus or Fable again. Happens rarely rarely, but it did found a few issues.
Code works every time, I have yet to find the fault myself.
Of course there are issues and I need to read the output especially in the planning phase very carefully and yes, Opus disappointed me many times trying to weasel out from something it "agreed with me" (and entered into architecture + todos)...
Of course right after agreeing to use devcontainers it proceeded to attempt installing a handful of node modules in my os, so intended up running it in the bwrap (pain in the ass in itself).
But it works, it's fascinating, and I have the app I actually needed.
Not magical but useful.

Those boxes are not there to generate feedback. They are there to placate the user by implying that their voice will be heard.
I reported 3 errors/feature requests in Oura Ring app. After going through the reporting process I felt much less irritated at the bugs and smiled to myself thinking that must have been the purpose of the reports. To my astonishment, 3-4 months later they fixed the errors and rolled out the feature I asked about. WTH, people read those reports? I know people do, I often get in touch with support for various services,…

#126It seems like bug hunting might be the one area where AI is actually making the world a better place.
Bad guys can use AI too. Not sure about the net result.
Sure there are _worse_ guys, but the supposed good ones aren't.

You mean…service packs?
No, "Microsoft Update" is what it was once called (see e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/... )

Umm, yeah…I was going to let this go but “Microsoft Update” is a later, more annoying though perhaps necessary turn of events. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_pack https://microsoft.fandom.com/wiki/Windows_service_packs
> It would be nice if microsoft had windows update for .net, visual c++, office, windows, edge ... just all their software in one updater...

#130"Microsoft attributed the burgeoning patch counts to vulnerability discoveries aided by artificial intelligence." If only real intelligence found the fucking things instead. As ye sew, so shall ye reap!
By all means, show us your records of finding vulnerabilities that thousands of engineers and security researchers missed over decades. Not sure what the biblical quote is about either.
