Maybe it is, I don't know. I was talking about your scenario of space-faring silicon-based life. If Venus can support this different life, then it should be already there. It's hard enough to find signs of life similar to ours (so

If _some_ kind of life is possible in Venus, shouldn't Venus have it? That's how life works on Earth. If it _can_ live somewhere, it's probably already there. We think that's related to how it can survive and adapt, so i

Imagine the real twist being that complex intelligent life on a planet only goes past some critical development point if there's some sort of weird coincidence in the sky that pushes its inhabitants to understand the mystery. It's

I concede the LLM involvement. But I want to be more specific in the description of the role it plays in the solution. If it is a central role, then there is nothing to loose from describing it better. That's why this feels so strange.

Maybe it's unleveraged potential, I don't know. I am also not entirely convinced that they're next to useless. Sanitizers, for example, are excellent for mitigating all sorts of security issues. Those are traditional static a

I can move the goalpost without relying on hallucinations or the ability to make fancy rethoric. Just make it about energy consumption, and the whole thing looks dumb again. Humans can do these amazing things (like learning multiple languag

> the LLM glue logic is what makes it effective Allegedly (it's proprietary, we don't know). Maybe it's the triage approach, and there are undiscovered non-LLM triage techniques that would surpass it. If I were to guess, t

I definitely woundn't explain it with speculative market bubbles though. Every single time the market slips up, it jeopardizes all those achievements you mentioned.

That's not my problem to solve. Maybe by the time they break even, it will be obvious how to earn money as an AI company. Today, it isn't, and it has nothing to do with being open or not.

That's fine. You must understand that some people will not agree with you either, right? That's how it works. We don't even have to explain why, but it's a common courtesy. Think this way: it's still a win-win no ma

What if I said that the ability to move the goalpost is the real trick? Machines started to hold up casual conversation well, so we came up with more clever examples of how to make it hallucinate, which made it look dumb again. We're s

I don't care if it counts as true LLM brilliance or not. If it doesn't matter if it's AI or not, just that they're good tools, why even advertise the AI keyword all over it? Just say "best in class security analysis

AI can mess up your mind. That's the only realistic risk we face, everything else is just science fiction bullshit.

Hi! Thanks for the reply. Joshua describes it as follows: "ZeroPath takes these rules, and applies (or at least the debug output indicates as such) the rules to every .. function in the codebase. It then uses LLM’s ability to reason ab

The argument is that these high-quality security analyzers seem to use AI as a triage mechanism, and the quality of the analysis is still capped by the quality of the static analysis tool. One of the tools provide a whitepaper, that you can

Do you believe AI is at the core of these security analyzers? If so, why the personal story blogpost? You can just explain me in technical terms why is that so. Claiming to work for Google does not work as an authority card for me, you stil

If the title changes, it is still a valid critique of the tools, how they might work, and a possible way of getting them for free. Also, think about it: of course I read Joshua's report. Otherwise, how could I have known the names of t

Something sounds fishy in this. Has these bugs really been found by AI? (I don't think they were). If you read Corgea's (one of the products used) "whitepaper", it seems that AI is not the main show: > BLAST addresses

A social network nowadays is just an excuse for setting up training data collection though (and before anyone comments, yes, descentralized ones too).

I just showed you, with examples. Musicians reacts to musical structure, which can be very loose compared to what engineers think of latency. A 12-bar blues can give lots of free time to improvise without feedback. Also, the stacked delay i
