Interesting to finally see something that more credibly resembles recursive self improvement even though this was just low hanging fruit and they didn't technically complete the cycle. Still way better than the crazy rhetoric I've heard in the past out of AI companies who think AI generated code constitutes RSI.
And, in closing, I predict we will never achieve mostly total security. Too many risks, too many bad actors. We will, perhaps, raise the bar so that the bad actors will require resources beyond the reach of even dedicated individuals. What's that saying, there's always someone faster than you on the road...
Well north of 90% of real world compromises already don't work by exploiting security bugs they work by exploiting people. Even if one could snap their fingers today and all of the security bugs in the entire world are magically fixed it would have no substantive real world impact.
1) it's expensive
2) the false-positive rate is very high
I do it for free on my own computer. The lack of signal rendered AI bug hunting pointless having attempted it continuously over the last three years. With current models (e.g. GLM-5.3 754B) both quality of findings and volume of nonsense have in my experience been quite reasonable. I am willing to suffer way worse for the types of results AI has already provided.
This reminds me of the early days of valgrind where it was almost unusable at first and a few years later improved to the point you take literally everything it says seriously. Obviously AI isn't that but the step change is similar.
In the past if you gave models a focus or enough leading questions they might figure it out but never when left to itself. Seems a lot of the recent gains are a result of post training behaviors to act more systematically
That all being said, you're not wrong.
Each LLM is going to be better or worse at finding different bad patterns, and incorrectly identifying certain patterns as bad that are fine.
But the fact is- if you let that LLM throw its head against the wall for long enough- if you burn enough tokens- there's a good chance there will be a couple of diamonds in the sea of bullshit- and that's the problem.
The first time I run code through the model the top line is almost always useful. You have to scroll down to get to the bullshit. Even rerunning the same model against the same code is useful.
Its not the physically changing the clocks thats the issue you idiot, its the general pointless hassle of it.
Pretty fucking obvious to anyone with a normal brain aspie.
It is obvious to you because you were thinking it and you believe it. To someone who doesn't know what you are thinking and has a different value judgement of what constitutes a hassle and therefore no reason to infer it refers to anything other than changing clocks your remarks are nonsensical.
Personally I see no hassle with non-clock related processes involving optionally going to sleep a little earlier once a year and since what "it" means is outside of the subject of the sentence and was not qualified in any way it is unreasonable to expect others to guess your thoughts.
" How would such language constitute anything other than a distinction without a difference?"
Says the man without a job, kids, elderly parents or any kind of responsibilities.
If by "it" you meant something other than changing the clock you could have used the English language to communicate this. Neither myself nor anyone else can read your mind.
Its not the physically changing the clocks thats the issue you idiot, its the general pointless hassle of it.
"Its" denotes ownership e.g. "a troll picks its nose". Contractions are denoted with an apostrophe. "It's not"
Otherwise you might well be on to something labeling me an idiot. I have no clue what you are even trying to say.
It is not the act of changing the clocks that is the issue. It is the pointless hassle of changing the clocks. How would such language constitute anything other than a distinction without a difference?
Because what makes games good is creativity and ideas. LLMs cannot do these. And slop is by not noticeable to most people.
AI can in effect be very creative. Quality issues tend to be related to game assets generated by diffusion models.
There is a sort of feedback loop of kids growing up playing games dreaming of making games later in life leading to a competitive industry with a culture that values skills. The effect of AI is to raze every aspect of this to the ground.
Gamers are unwilling to pay for lack of human effort regardless of apparent quality. Due to AI gamers increasingly are unable to afford hardware. Wanting to make games or even developing related skills is widely seen as pointless when it is known bean counters at the studios will just demand you work as a reverse centaur.
We're sick of it here in the UK too. The problem is some people who prefer lighter evenings want permanent BST, others like me who prefer lighter mornings want permanent GMT/UTC.
We're sick of the ritual of people whining about doing something that takes a few seconds every six months. Freezing time was tried in the US in the 70s and people hated it so much it didn't last a year.
just fucking pick one and do it. Or, if you're really on the fence, split the difference and shift the clocks permanently by 30min *once*.
Or you can change the clocks and have the best of both.
All the issues people have with one or the other (or mine) can all be separately solved outside of this in less annoying ways than this changing the clocks bullshit.
It is easier to change the clocks. If you don't like changing them get clocks that change themselves.
Wasn't it also Cisco who left ssh v1 enabled on their switches for years after that protocol had been shown to be trivially exploitable?
I remember Cisco implementing new protocols (e.g. LEAP) it must have known at the time were trivially exploitable.
For willful negligence.
"Anyone can use an LLM."
Yeah but apparently a lot of people suck at it, including several of the trolls here.
You are the only troll here.
"Where is your evidence to support your causal assertions?"
They said it themselves.
You are full of shit.
"Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab said on Monday it is offering voluntary buyouts to about 60,000 employees, or more than a quarter of its global workforce, as the technology giant looks to âcontain costs and help fund its massive AI investments."

"The company told employees in March that it was cutting thousands of jobs as it faced investor pressure over raising huge amounts of debt for its AI infrastructure buildout."
"Oracle has started telling employees that it's cutting thousands of jobs, CNBC has confirmed, as the software maker deals with a plummeting stock price tied to hefty capital commitments for building out AI infrastructure. "

"Today we're laying off over 1000 Epic employees. I'm sorry we're here again. The downturn in Fortnite engagement that started in 2025 means we're spending significantly more than we're making, and we have to make major cuts to keep the company funded. This layoff, together with over $500 million of identified cost savings in contracting, marketing, and closing some open roles puts us in a more stable place."
"Since it's a thing now, I should note that the layoffs aren't related to AI. To the extent it improves productivity, we want to have as many awesome developers developing great content and tech as we can."

"Probably half of the suggestions AI wants to do for me is stupid or else just plain wrong", I'm still waiting to see your work. Maybe it's just you.
I didn't say this. You can't even keep track of who you are talking to.
"Everyone should provide evidence to support their personal experiences", you made the claim buddy. Got nothing?
Wasn't it you who asserted industry layoffs are due to AI use?
"The vast majority of the software industry is embracing this tech as a productivity booster and you can just look at the layoff statistics for evidence. Microsoft is massively profitable but recently offered buyouts to 60k employees. Oracle laid off 13% of staff. Cloudflare, Wix, and Epic Games furloughed 20% this year. "
Where is your evidence to support your causal assertions? Oh right it doesn't exist because you are full of shit.
"psychologically manipulative shills spewing nonsense divorced from reality". I'm not trying to sell you anything, asshole.
Yes you are, your words speak for themselves shill.
'how to be an end user of an LLM constitutes some kind of "skill" is frankly absurd on its face'
Hilarious! Go look for a job telling the interviewer that.
Anyone can use an LLM. Unless you are applying for a job at a code mill an interviewer who focuses on tool use is doing themselves and their organization a disservice.
