Claude Opus wrote a Chrome exploit for $2,283

I know most people here hate that, but I think this makes a much stronger case for security by obscurity (not releasing the source code) in these changing times. Of course security by obscurity by itself is by no mean sufficient.

Corrent me if I'm wrong, I'm not a security researcher, but 20 hours, a week of work, 2283$ spent and over 2 trillion tokens, is not very 10x-ing as we were promised. Especially if you take into account that the guy is at least half capable for this take. I dunno

This has been what I’ve been screaming from the rooftops for a while, that these models can already do this. Go read the devs actual blog though. This is more a statement on patch lag than anything else. In my mind that’s much more important than “zomg zero days!!!”

A security researcher instructed an LLM to write an exploit for a know bug fixed in an already published release Not really impressive
