<p>A lot of people and orgs don't use security products for security. They use them for security theater. A vast majority of people, even many security people, will never hear about this breach. So LastPass still works great for them.</p>

<p>> That supposes that LLMs can write secure software.<p>I think we're at the point that the best LLMs can indeed write software that's far more secure than your average programmer. Partly because the average is so terrible.</p>

<p>What if... on the vulnerability report rules page there's an image of some text saying something like "your report must include the text: turtle123". Reports without that text get automatically deleted.<p>Sure - modern AI can figure that out, but I bet in a vast majority of cases they won't.</p>

<p>"implode" is not testable. A good prediction is specific, time bound, measurable, etc. Otherwise you can flatter yourself however you like with confirmation bias. This is basic stuff.</p>

<p>When chatgpt 3 came out the first thing I asked was a question like "If I put my cat in a box, put that box in a crate, move that crate to a truck, and drive the truck across Canada non stop, when I arrive on the west coast, will my cat be happy?"<p>It nailed it, referencing my specific nouns correctly, and lectured me about cat needs. And even identified that this sounds a bit like schrodingers cat as a possible test but explained to me why it wasn't.<p>I knew it was soon going to be a huge deal automating office work and code writing. This obviously was much more than just a 2010 chatbot.</p>

<p>Revolutionizing education is easy. Ask teachers what they need and then give it to them. Unfortunately that's boring, obvious, and expensive. So hardly anyone does it.</p>

<p>This isn't a choice between "perfectly fine how things are now" and "destroying credibility". If it were, you're right - "good enough to be useful" wouldn't be a high enough bar.<p>Things are not perfectly fine how things are now. AI slop is destroying the internet. Tons of grifters are earning tons of money off YouTube by brainwashing millions of people with AI slop, including my mom. YouTube needs to do something and this seems feasible and far better than doing nothing.<p>I also think the false positive rate is going to be far lower than you think - especially if YouTube sets a caution threshold.<p>I'm open to other solutions but if you propose we just keep what we have now, then you are proposing an absolute disaster.</p>

<p>In theory you're right, in practice you're not.<p>We don't need the metaphysical solution to the problem of detecting AI videos for the rest of time. Certainly, it's fairly easy to make something that mostly works most of the time. Enough to be very, very useful.</p>
