I would expect code written by the latest frontier models with a "find all security issues make no mistakes" pass to be more secure than average human code written in the pre-AI era (not a high bar).

The OP shows that it was, in fact, solved in a jiffy (a few hours work done largely by an LLM) with a magic (generally applicable) exploit. Given that, I suspect the reputable security experts in the thread who claimed they could solve it were telling the truth.

Now look through this thread and be amazed at how most posters are apparently satisfied by this level of evidence and some are even calling for China-style Internet censorship in response. A good reminder that even enlightened progressives are helpless against cognitive bias when they want to believe the worst about their enemies.

You are confusing Scott Alexander with Eliezer Yudkowsky.

Do you even believe this cope in your heart? With each month that passes you're going to keep seeing increasingly advanced bugs and mathematical proofs found by AI. And you'll have to keep coming up with increasingly silly excuses why that isn't real progress. Maybe save yourself the cognitive dissonance and face reality now. It's not just a parrot.

We have open-weight LLMs like DeepSeek that prove the cost of running inference with near-frontier models can be very cheap.

The model is just taking the user's claim that it deleted the D drive at face value. Where is the actual command that would result in deleting the entire D drive?

The command it supposedly ran is not provided and the spaces explanation is obvious nonsense. It is possible the user deleted their own files accidentally or they disappeared for some other reason.

What I think is happening here based on the few details: Facebook regularly suspends accounts for posting pictures of naked kids, particularly in countries which do not have strong taboos against that. These get reported and sit in a government database with little more information than "Maria Santos from the Philippines posted CP." Then any time a Maria Santos from the Philippines arrives, they get flagged. If it's a common name, lots of people get flagged. This incompetence is the only way I can explain 10% of crew members getting flagged without intentional fraud by the government.

You would need to be severely intellectually challenged to think Musk actually intended to give a Nazi salute. The idea is so preposterous I refuse to believe you actually believe that. Or perhaps I am underestimating how detached from reality political fervor can make people.

No, that never happened.

You must be using a peculiar definition of expert because even generally conservative AI experts like LeCun now expect we could have human-level intelligence within 5 to 10 years.

The model was trained on games in PGN notation. It would be shocking if it found ASCII art easier to understand than what it was actually trained on.
