Why collect all the news dupes but not the source up top OP? Because the source was already submitted?

Drives me nuts that the NYT just uncritically cites Anthropic’s unverified claims of “thousands of zero-days” without a hint of skepticism.

What a surprise hackers used AI . I mean why wouldnt they? Every programmer uses it..

If "bad guy AI" can find flaws, can "good guy AI" patch them faster when backed by trillion dollar companies?

Do your AI patches introduce fewer flaws than they repair?

That's a trillion dollar question.

"Google used AI to find a major software flaw" — there, fixed it for you, happy?

If I sell weapons to both sides of a conflict, can I become rich?

mindcrime 15 hours ago|||

No. To become really rich you have to draw a 3rd player into the conflict, and then sell weapons to them as well.

Or just lend money to both parties to fund their war efforts and pay off war debts afterwards.

Yes.

Please refer to any seller of weapons ever.

I stopped reading after "Google says". They have destroyed whatever trust I might have had in them years ago.

...says yet another company hell bent on integrating it into every facet of our lives. This reads like a celebration, if you ask me.
