@mattdm @dangoodin and youre ok with anthropics approach here where they disable protections so their new flagship model can pump the numbers? and youre ok with how older models can find the same bug? and theres no gell-mann amnesia going on here?

@Viss @dangoodin

I'm not saying any of those things, and neither does the Mozilla post.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@mattdm @dangoodin but its all written about the same effort. anthroipics writeup and now this one, as well as the flying penguin post. theyre all about the same thing, and they are very very starkly different

[psysal@mastodon.social]

@dangoodin I looked at the first one and although I don't know the codebase at all so am missing context, I think I understand it partly (I am a good c++ programmer ) and it certainly looks real to me. There is also discussion on the bugzilla where a developer acknowledges they introduced the bug when doing code cleanup.

@dangoodin if anyone wanna know what I feel about the reports I read

@dangoodin half of a continuation of a report, and half a tech blog discussing the internal security harnessing. Strange to read how it switched between the two and answering interesting questions in the FAQ.

I find confusing the fact that I couldn't find a list for all the invidually tracked bugs (?). Even though they are "rolled up"/grouped under a single CVE, they are tracked individually and that would be a more interesting thing to look at.

And I'm really surprised about the no. of fixed bugs graph, especially for April. How could they handle that jump in volume? More people working on Firefox? More focus on security than other work? "Looks good to me" merges?

@passocacornio @dangoodin
Its hard to judge without all of them. 12 is what was released.

[passocacornio@tech.lgbt]

@michaelh @dangoodin since this one is more of an advertising piece than an actual post-morten... those are the best ones they could find

[dangoodin@infosec.exchange]

@michaelh @passocacornio

Yes, that's true. What I want to know is, what's the quality of the 12?

[dangoodin@infosec.exchange]

@passocacornio @michaelh

OK, assuming that's true, what's the quality of them?

[passocacornio@tech.lgbt]

@dangoodin @michaelh i... posted my actual impression of the reports on a companion toot its linked in this toot

[michaelh@fosstodon.org]

@passocacornio @dangoodin If some large precentage of those 271 reports is sandbox escapes and they all got patched there is a decent chance of breaking an in the wild exploit campaign.
