>Many of the "thousands" of bugs and vulnerabilities it found are in older software, or are impossible to exploit.

So?

Modern software is designed with a defense in depth model, so it often requires chaining multiple vulnerabilities to get a successful exploit. But individual vulnerabilities still need finding and fixing because people might find vulnerabilities in the other isolation layers later.

I swear every time an LLM does something useful, the usual band of skeptics bends over backwards trying to invent reasons to dismiss it.

[sagacity]

The argument is that it is older software in the sense that it's unmaintained because better alternatives exist.

Also, I don't believe it is fair to dismiss skeptics as inventing reasons. If anything, "believers" are bending over backwards to praise Anthropic even though they didn't actually release anything.

I swear every time an LLM does something stupid, the usual band of AI hype pushers bends over backwards trying to invent reasons that it's actually good.

Exactly. If I had a nickel for every mention of "just wait 'til the next release!!" as some sort of justification for whatever's going on right now, I'd be a rich man.

Im still waiting for a project that is not a 'pet project' that is mostly LLM-assisted that Wow's me. Why is it taking so long I wonder? Hmm, perhaps all this 'intelligence' is neat. But it is not what pushes humanity forward - which ultimately is what matters. That's the whole point of expending resources...

Quite possible.
