AI agent hacks university network, outperforms human experts in 16 hours
- more_corn 11mo ago“Outperforms” but struggles with visual interfaces, generates false alarms and hallucinates successfully breaches. Sounds like it will need a minder so it doesn’t actually replace a security engineer, it simply gives them a turbocharged tool. And a lot of extra work digging through slop. So about like other ai tools. Faster, but of limited use due to the normal problems with ai tooling.
