I think the most obvious chicken little sign has been that we've had no catastrophic exploits in the past year due these findings.

Sure LLMs have helped reduce the attack surface and we patch things faster too, but I was really expected a few more Supermarket-level bangers.

I don't understand, it seems like every week there is a new major breach. Multiple law firms have had unprecedented breaches, dev platforms, and companies of every kind. You name it, there's been a high profile breach.

At the point I wonder if there is any information left secure honestly. These are not from glasswing, but they are from LLMs.

There was that PHP thing, as well as *sshole, and how do we know the supermarket attackers didn't use AI?

That seems like a damnned if you do and damnned if you don't situation.

There were conflicting claims about the degree to which the $6 Billion Binance heist was an AI thing. But either way it seems like it would be a "look what it enabled" or a look what it failed to prevent"

If nothing happens at all it's waved away as scaremongering rather than prevention.

Given how fast progress has been in the last year, be careful what you wish for...

For example, as others have noted, there were no results on cryptography in OpenAI's October 6th math drop. But it seems unlikely that they didn't look at this sort of thing.

We've had catastrophic vulnerabilities revealed every other day for months, what are you talking about?
