@joe the "we found a local privesc in Linux" seemed particularly silly to tout... we have local privesc in Linux at home

@tef @joe They seem to avoid talking about solid defensive remedies (some of which LLMs likely will also be able to do well, such as translation and theorem proving — there are already results), for some reason. Until that strong medicine is applied, I think they'll continue producing new bugs and new kinds of bugs. Underestimating them is unwise for defenders. Keep in mind also they are military contractors.

@tef @joe Which is: not fully true! Defenders get to define the territory, including audit and observability. Finding a vuln, developing an exploit — way too easy. Making it operational and maintaining the capability over time: somewhat to substantially more fraught. (Still way, way too easy, of course)

@joe it’s finding real issues. Anything that finds real issues and costs money will feel like an “engage with us Or Else” situation
-
@joe it's more "this is actually a thing it can do" i feel as fuzzing does produce results
but, well, after the burst of low hanging fruit, i don't expect a regular crop of bugs

@pozorvlak @joe alas, "secure programing in C" turns out to be more than just yelling at linux developers

to be clear, if you believe openbsd has a lower defect rather than any other of the bsds, you're absolutely being taken for a ride
