Considering you can just… you know, do that in any of the LLM prompts in Meta apps… I really don’t think it’s the work of a “hacker”. That’s such an obnoxiously overused term.

    I have to disagree. Hacking is a broad term that isn't exclusive to finding buffer overflows in ghidra.

    I was watching a speedrunner live stream, and just the way he thinks...

    The way speedrunners think is basically how pentesters think.

    The original meaning of the word "hacking" is just "to get something to work in a way it was not meant to work".

    So the hacker mindset of finding workarounds or unforseen scenarios applies to a lot of things, not just devices and systems (such as games) but also human processes.

    The majority of hacking is social engineering, so I don't really see slop hacking being any less valid than that
