    The quotes seem to be strawmanning Anthropic’s report. AFAIK Anthropic’s claim was that it could find bugs and make exploits at a similar level to an expert, except as an LLM and thus more easily deployed at scale.

    Most experts spend most of their time not reinventing the wheel.

    But I guess people are now literally doing the I, Robot meme.

    It could just be that curl doesn’t have many vulnerabilities

      you are exactly right. cirl has been attacked so much, every vulnerability has probably been worked out.

        But I didn’t say “AI bad,” so the hivemind disapproves.
