It smells like an architecture-related issue to me. They wanted to release the model asap, but they're still implementing the fine-grained controls to constrain the model to non-subscription users.

> The loudest reaction to Mythos Preview from other security leaders has been about speed - scan faster, patch faster, compress the response cycle. More than one team we have spoken with is now operating under a two-hour SLA from CVE release to patch in production [...] If regression testing takes a day, you cannot get to a two-hour SLA without skipping it, and the bugs you ship when you skip regression testing tend to be worse than the bugs you were trying to patch.

Over time, I wonder if these models will be able to generate more secure code by default by doing this kind of exploitability testing before ever merging their code.

I like simonw's take that open source should be more valuable [0]

>An interesting result of this is that open source libraries become more valuable, since the tokens spent securing them can be shared across all of their users. This directly counters the idea that the low cost of vibe-coding up a replacement for an open source library makes those open source projects less attractive.

I can understand why the reflexive move to fork the code and move it in-house, but how sustainable will that be when eng teams have MORE code to manage and mitigate vulnerabilities for?

I recognize the sarcasm. The data I can find says it's performing at baseline however?

Yeah I left out a lot of details! But it did more than just my writing style.

It was able to piece together some other details that I've dropped related to where I live, in addition to my casual tone etc

Took me a minute to realize Sid isn't associated with 0xide.computer. Clever domain name!

Getting Google to index my personal site has been a pain. Every other search engine works fine, but ever since I switched the images on my site to .webp (a format created by Google!), my site's content just doesn't get indexed anymore. I've given up since web search traffic matters less and less these days with LLMs, and it only really bothers me when I'm trying to search for my own articles.

You just realistically can't know everything. I have a tankless water heater. It's almost a magical black box to me, but I know a little bit more about it now that I've taken pictures of it and asked LLMs to explain it to me. I'm still not a water heater technician, but I feel more knowledgeable.

And on the topic of motorcycles, I recently got a crappy bike that barely starts, and I partially got it because I feel capable of fixing it. And now it runs pretty well because I used lots of "video chats" with Gemini (and the owner's manual as context) to fix it!
