mythos allowed mediocre people to get results by holding their hand through the process, or just ignoring their irrelevant input and knowing what to do.
if you throw millions of tokens at IDA Pro MCP with the right prompt lets just say security by obscurity fails miserably because there is no obscurity when the LLM chews through the decompilation.
- baq 4mo agoIt isn’t bad, it isn’t good. It’s just how the world looks now. All software is open source now, some of it is just more open, some of it is less.

- robocat 4mo ago> law enforcement wasn’t able to keep up with those people Law enforcement is almost irrelevant to cause and effect. Enforcing laws between jurisdictions mostly requires military or heavy economic incentives.
- joe_mamba 4mo ago>mythos allowed mediocre people to get results by holding their hand through the process Isn't this what technology progress looks like? Industrial tools allowed mediocre people to improve their productivity by orders of magnitude which is how we managed(in the past) to build so many amazing things with less human toil and suffering than previous generations.
- imdsm 4mo agoProgress isn't always welcome by the incumbent who have built their moats on hoarding knowledge over being adaptable
- losteric 4mo agoIt seems like AI is really hurting the people who don't have a hoard of experience - the juniors and early mid-level tech people. The incumbents with experience are doing amazing. PM's with Mythos aren't replacing the PE with 20 years of experiences lol.
- dlmanning 4mo agoNot all of us think encouraging people to outsource their own thinking to proprietary models is actually "progress."
- interstice 4mo agoAre you saying programmers aren't adaptable? I don't think I've ever seen this field pause to take a breath.
- virtualritz 4mo ago> mythos allowed mediocre people to get results by holding their hand through the process, Yes, just like early cars allowed mediocre horse riders to get from A to B with dignity. Or like my Japanese rice cooker allows a person like me, utterly shitty at preparing this, to eat some rice that is cooked to perfection. Etc.
- greggsy 4mo agoI mean, the calculator is my go to analogy I keep bringing up in this debate. It lets someone with mediocre long division skills to just do the thing they need to do with fewer steps and less friction. IDA itself is a tool that helps you decompile code without having to do a lot of things.
- ai_fry_ur_brain 4mo agoShould mediocre people be preforming heart surgery?
- gaiagraphia 4mo ago"mediocre people" I'm glad to see the mask is falling off the privileged caste. Is there anything inherently wrong about open access to tools? (Apart from rent payments).
- dlmanning 4mo agoThe "privileged caste" being people who actually expended the effort to learn things for themselves?
- gaiagraphia 4mo agoAnd such people learnt everything from the beginning? From fire? Where's the cut off point of where learning something for yourself becomes the signal for entrance to the enlightened caste?
- dlmanning 4mo agoIt's the point where you expend effort to learn a useful skill.
- djhn 4mo ago> (Apart from rent payments). Privilege enables you to rent competence, historically by paying other people. The slop companies will now sell you a simulacrum of competence by the token. The fact that competence can (could?) only be acquired through sustained effort over a long period of time is (was?) levelling the field. Selling simulated competence perpetuates privilege, instead of dismantling it like you seem to claim.
