I like the Register's headline: "Anthropic’s bug-hunting Mythos was greatest marketing stunt ever, says cURL creator"

[jupiter@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@bagder "Stunt" as in "stunted"? It was so fucking obvious -.-

[phoenixwright@ieji.de]

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

[pedro_mateus@mas.to]

@bagder

How about that? You don't even need AI to hallucinate stuff!

[philvuchetich@bsd.network]

@bagder your article made it abundantly clear that curl has already been extensively audited for years using all of the tools and techniques available. 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.

[bagder@mastodon.social]

@philvuchetich it found more than one bug actually. One vulnerability, but something around twenty bugs

@bagder

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

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@bagder Damn! You should put some kind of notice on them for misquoting you, though!

This might escalate

[agitatra@berlin.social]

@bagder You should have and you could have!

[philvuchetich@bsd.network]

@bagder thanks - I corrected my post. I was thinking vulnerabilities and not bugs.

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

@bagder interesting to get some more details on how these things work. It does get more difficult - more marketing headlines, more "WOW" moments.
