From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If the researcher had spent as much time auditing the code as he did having to evaluate the merit of 100s of incorrect LLM reports then he would have found the second vulnerability himself, no doubt.
this confirms what i just said in reply to a different comment: most cases of ai "success" are actually curated by real people from a sea of bullshit
And if Gutenberg had just written faster, he would've produced more books in the first week?
I'm not sure if the Gutenberg Press had only produced one readable copy for every 100 printed it would have been the literary revolution that it was.
I agree not brilliant, but It's early days. If one is looking to mechanise a process like finding bugs, you have to start somewhere. Determine how to measure success, set performance baselines and all that.
I get your point, but your comparison is a little... off. Wasn't Gutenberg "printing", not "writing"?
You're right, probably better put as: if he'd spent his time writing instead of working on that contraption, he'd have produced more books in the first month.
Problem is motivation. As someone with ADHD I definitely understand that having an interesting project makes tedious stuff much more likely to get done. LOL
