In a weird sort of way it does. Consider all of the following

1. big companies are often incompetent and inefficient in a lot of ways
2. The mozilla foundation has confirmed the security issues that Anthropic found were real
3. Generally over the past few years, anthropic has some of the best, most reliable models
4. Claude code has been kinda bad for a while
5. Claude code has been mainly bot-written for a while as well. This can lead to functional, decent code that's still terrible in many ways as seen from the leak. Also it's entirely possible that bots are worse at detecting issues in bot written code. You could argue if they were good at it, they would be less likely to write those security issues in the first place?
6. Anthropic could have very skilled ml engineers but mediocre software developers

Guy on TV this morning saying they've 'created a new species' and I'm like yeh, you've created a group of humans so dumb that no other human would be willing to have kids with them.

Billions of dollars could have paid for a lot of security engineers. Wonder how many issues they could have found and fixed.

Time for the Anthropic Apologists. I’ve noticed a lot of them recently.

Anthropic legitimately believes they've created a living being. Its fuckin weird.

What is the 'instruction to mislead' referring to?

Scam Altman hallucinates more than his AI

How time and cost effective is this? Like I can dump 80k in tokens into finding an exploit or spend 80k to hire a guy who will probably take longer but not give me false positives.

Well clearly people could use it to find security holes in their backend, since those def exist.

The company's shoddy opsec doesn't directly equate to the model's cabapilities. I am not one to believe anyone's hype, but I am not one to believe the AI anti-hype that goes on throughout Lemmy. A year ago, according to Lemmy, LLMs could never produce working code at scale. 6 months ago, according to Lemmy, LLMs could never produce working code that was secure enough to use in production. Now, Lemmy believes LLM can't be disruptive to cybersecurity as a whole.

In 6 months I wonder what Lemmy will claim LLMs aren't capable of.
