"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

What you're forgetting is that many -- if not most -- of these vulnerabilities/exploits are bullshit in the first place. Either very niche situations that are extremely unlikely to happen in real life or outright hallucinations.
A few of them are legitimate security concerns, sure, but the vast majority are either low priority or a complete waste of time. And the same goes for the hackers trying to find ways in -- the vast majority of the exploits they discover this way won't actually work, or will only affect a tiny minority of Linux systems that are using obscure and/or obsolete protocols. So it's not quite the 'nukes' from your hyperbole.
You want a real solution?
It costs $10 for an un-vetted reporter to submit a bug report. If the developers review the bug report and find it to be valid and helpful, you get your $10 refunded and you're added to the list of vetted reporters who can submit bug reports for free. If not, the foundation keeps the $10 and uses it to help pay the salaries of people who have to review these bug reports.
