@budududuroiu @jenniferplusplus it's funny you bring up AlphaFold because that also has been way overhyped, according to people working in the field (I don't have links to individual statements anymore sadly, been a few years but the Wikipedia page also mentions e.g. AF not really understanding folding). Anyway: as long as there is no concrete data regarding severe CVE increase with a causal link to newer LLMs (which again are still LLMs that do not understand facts) I'll keep holding my breath.

@dngrs @jenniferplusplus I'm sorry, I know thinking conceptually isn't easy for everyone, I tried using AlphaFold because some people have an easier time when presented with examples. Why would there be an increase in CVEs? If I was an actor with nation-state levels of access to compute, why would I waste all that compute on zero days, only to then publish CVEs about them? Even the most AI skeptic maintainers start to admit that LLMs are getting good at finding bugs. I understand cynicism is seen as cool nowadays but I think it's intellectually lazy https://mastodon.social/@bagder/116373716541500315
