It does get more difficult - more marketing headlines, more "WOW" moments.

"I didn't say that," said cURL creator.

come on you said that from what you can tell it isn't that impressive that's basically a failing grade.

One vulnerability, but something around twenty bugs

It is nice that a tool can find a single new vulnerability, around 20 bugs, with a small number of false positives.

Edited to correct vulnerability/bugs.

But do you agree that it's a marketing stunt, but it's not the greatest? 😛

IIRC (check the news) the access to the model was being provided by an uncryptographic https path foo.bar/mythos-project or something, and at least one "hacker" just guessed the endpoint with reference to public model paths, and then had direct access to the model.

I am not entirely sure how to read this paragraph.
