Software has been doing fine without Misanthropic. These automated tools find very little. They selected the partners because they, too, want to keep up the illusion that AI works. Whenever a company pivots to "cyber" rhetoric, it is a clear indication that they are selling snake oil. Secure your girl school target selectors first.

Re: Project Glasswing: Securing critical software for the AI era
#272Let's fast forward the clock. Does software security converge on a world with fewer vulnerabilities or more? I'm not sure it converges equally in all places. My understanding is that the pre-AI distribution of software quality (and vulnerabilities) will be massively exaggerated. More small vulnerable projects and fewer large vulnerable ones. It seems that large technology and infrastructure companies will be able to…
I'm pretty optimistic that not only does this clean up a lot of vulns in old code, but applying this level of scrutiny becomes a mandatory part of the vibecoding-toolchain. The biggest issue is legacy systems that are difficult to patch in practice.

#273The system card for Claude Mythos (PDF): https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/53566bf5440a10affd749724787c89... Interesting to see that they will not be releasing Mythos generally. [edit: Mythos Preview generally - fair to say they may release a similar model but not this exact one] I'm still reading the system card but here's a little highlight: > Early indications in the training of Claude Mythos Preview suggested that th…
Just reading this, the inevitable scaremongering about biological weapons comes up. Since most of us here are devs, we understand that software engineering capabilities can be used for good or bad - mostly good, in practice. I think this should not be different for biology. I would like to reach out and talk to biologists - do you find these models to be useful and capable? Can it save you time the way a highly capab…
Software engineering is at the intersection of being heavy on manipulating information and lightly-regulated. There's no other industry of this kind that I can think of.

#275Society is about to pay a steep price for the software industry's cavalier attitude toward memory safety and control flow integrity.

#276It would be nice if one of those privileged companies could use their access to start building out a next level programming dataset for training open models. But I wonder if they would be able to get away with it. Anthropic is probably monitoring.

#279Earlier quoted context omitted.
They were right, it's hit 100% at a number of large tech companies. (They missed their initial prediction of 90% 6 months ago, because the models then available publicly weren't capable enough.)
Please tell me those companies so I can find alternatives. I'm using AI every day and there's no way I would trust it do that.

If it is that dangerous as they make it appear to be, 24h does not seem sufficient time. I cannot accept this as a serious attempt.
