that won't be leaked, because then we'd know what vulnerabilties they don't want patched that they are so willing to go as far as fuck over the worlds leading company in the worlds most important industry

its because they're worried about _their_ vulnerabilities being patched with a prompt as simple as 'fix this code'

i'd love to see the research paper with the CVE's and 'delibrately planted vulnerabilities', I bet we could infer relatively accurately where some of these things lie

keep in mind what he's aiming for, he's not being honest

his definition of 'good' at the beginning of his piece, is not what he says. it is not 'right ideas' or 'flow well'

what he is really means is 'convincing'. i.e. effective rhetoric

not only that, it's rhetoric spoken with a speakerphone aimed at the masses. In that the simple content > complex content.

if one were to take the perspective of 'good writing' in that it gave the readers something, rather than take - it demands something of the reader

Cover local kitten stories or wine and dine with celebrities?

I thought writing a pop song was 10% talent and 90% marketing? Written by the same people because they gatekeep those marketing dollars.

Yep, sounds standard. If other companies could verify aftermarket hacks to void warranty, you can bet they would.
