Sure but wasn't the whole pitch of tokenization, RWA, all of this cycle's narrative, that crypto could function as an investment vehicle for the normie retirement account holder, that it wasn't just derivatives and speculating on short-term price movement?

If I'm being very cynical I think people at the AI labs suspect they're going to shrink the market for productive labor but are fine with that since they'll capture a larger share of profits, as perpetual rent-seekers for all intellectual production. They also have this hope that there will imminently be a lot less of us around (they telegraph fear of this outcome, but that feels insincere).

For many here the answer seems to be that everyone will be product manager or a capitalist (one suspects the people saying this are product managers and capitalists).

HITCON CTF has a realistic php2shell challenge. Think it has ended up with 0 solves so far, not sure.

didn't the poorer 2/3rds of humanity die in that one?

If the options are 1) watch the economy become more k-shaped as my status erodes and I'm made precarious 2) drag down aggregate output but be better off relative to everyone else than in the first scenario, why would I not go with option 2 from a purely self-interested, rational perspective? I jus think this is assuming a level of selflessness most people are not capable of but maybe that's too cynical of me

"Exploitation attempt" lacks clarity. The bot scanners are constantly generating huge volumes of weird traffic. Does anyone have a portable, reliable exploit that works in real heterogeneous conditions and not a lab setup, and is that even feasible? doesn't seem like it. llms automate development of practical exploits but don't remove every constraint that makes them hard to begin with. it feels like people are missing this, idk

People seem to not understand that cybercriminals are lazy, as well. They're not gonna sink a lot of effort into doing something technically impressive when there are way easier ways to generate a decent ROI. Why would they mess around with remote heap grooming when there are plenty of nday rce in widely-deployed enterprise slop just laying around, makes no sense.

Okay finally some sense. I felt like I was going insane seeing the freakout over this. From people who would care but a fraction if there weren't some AI angle.

Can you name some of these opportunities? I see people in this thread talking about using agents to manage their budgets, buy fancy cars and houses, contract work on their home. I think a lot of people feel like AI will permanently forclose any avenue they would have had to achieving that level of wealth, so there's a bitter irony

Well they did specify "successfully." EITW is a pretty broad tag, just means attacker are probing servers. I'm not saying it's good but there are usually some pretty big caveats with remote-remote memory corruption, don't know if all the people dooming are aware of that

> Exploit portability and reliability depend on the PHP build, extensions, frontend behavior and allocator layout.

People being edgy on X seems unrelated. Comment seems completely off-topic. Or are you implying Meta suppressed Lula's account because he threatened to murder Protestants? I don't get it.

We have seen a huge proliferation of vibed audio plugins. Most of them are very bad or replicate things DAWs can already do. And vibed video games. If anything it has become harder for many audiences to find good software because algorithmic curation is driven by gameable engagement metrics not quality.

That just makes it feel like I wasted a lot of time. I spent years eschewing social gatherings, foregoing other opportunities, and depriving myself of things I enjoy, to cultivate a set of skills. Now I feel like they are rapidly becoming largely irrelevant (vuln hunting, kind of on the leading edge of ai displacement, not sure bug bounties as we currently know them will exist in five years time). What's more I don't feel like I'm positioned to remain employed in the field. I didn't expect my status or stability to be thrown into jeopardy so rapidly. I wish I were as selfless as you. I'm not sure many people are, maybe the world would be a kinder place if they were
