Sad as that is, it seems to be accurate. I mean this whole LLM hype is a clear sign that most people do not see reality.

Indeed. However most of their customers are deeply stupid. So passing of the gross incompetence as "the LLM is sooooo powerful" may still work.

Very, very likely. They must have known this would not protect kids at all. Just another fake excuse to create a surveillance-state and then something far worse in the next step. Evil people doing evil things.

Yes! Start jailing children!

Seriously, do you even realize how deranged and violent you sound?

Exactly. And AI "Answers" keep telling me the most ridiculous crap. I think it must be something like > 30% hallucination for the things I search.

Example: It gave me melting points for a plastic at 100C and 350C, both (!) in the same posting. The real value for that plastic is around 215C. Completely unusable.

True. I expect they are betting on their customers being stupid. Now, observable evidence would indicate they may be correct.

Well, for stuff with this high value, you have a point.

The slop-vibe will do that. I expect many of these vulnerabilities will only have been partially fixed on top of that and some "fixes" will have created new vulnerabilities. The attackers are having a celebration right now.

Except LLMs cannot do any of that, unless your standards are really low. To be fair, most of software industry has abysmally low standards for quality and security and LLMs may actually do better in many cases. Not they they would be able to do well.

Letting AI do your coding is never a good idea. Patching included. There are now documented cases where LLM-done "security patches" created new vulnerabilities. And they have a tendency to not fully fix the original vulnerabilities on top of that.

"Cheaper than possible"-type fake engineering at its best.

If you can find them. Available evidence suggests that is often not possible, especially when the crime is done non-commercially. No money-trail to follow, you know.

You realize this is all digital and a "master" and a "copy of the master" are the same thing today? That used to be very different when stuff was still analog and the terminology has persisted. These days a "master" is just the final edit in non-compressed form or lossless-compressed form, i.e. at maximum quality and resolution.

You do realize you cannot "format" modern drives, right?

That is nonsense. Leaving critical data knowingly unprotected is what matters. The way it was done is pretty irrelevant.

Insightless much? That is _exactly_ what this approach does.
