It reduces the cost significantly.

A good security expert earns how much per year? And that person works 8/5.

Now you can just throw money at it.

CIA and co pay for sure more than 20k (thats what the anthropic red team stated as a cost for a complex exploit) for a zero day.

If someone builds some framework around this, you can literaly copy and paste it, throw money at it and scale it. This is not possible with a human.

What happens when you throw enough money at it that it raises the cost significantly.

But thats the thing, its already competitive and its not even released.

CIA and FBI and states easily pay 100k for a zero day.

Plenty of companies have security expert staff on file.

And it will become cheaper and easyer to use, fast.

Logged in just to show some love. +1 for the economics. +1 again (if I could) for the truth-to-power.

We need a lot more of this kind of multi-disciplinary skepticism to counterbalance the industrial grade rockstar ninja 10x Kool-Aid drinking.
