Yeah, like maybe this is one of those AIs that is actually just a guy in the Philippines being paid shit wages. Or maybe it’s a dumb LLM that makes lots of mistakes. Or maybe it’s all just bullshit from TechCrunch where an underpaid journalist is just recycling a fucking press release from Google and none of this actually happened anything like how it’s written.
Heather Adkins, Google’s vice president of security, announced Monday that its LLM-based vulnerability researcher Big Sleep found and reported 20 flaws in various popular open source software.
The false positive rate makes them a net loss.

That article isn’t referring to the specific system google is using, so we don’t know what the false positive rate is.
Uh pretty high if it’s an LLM
That’s not a given.
But it is likely.
It really depends on how their particular system is set up. You’re just making sweeping vibe based statements without any evidence to support them.

Or maybe new technology actually has valid applications despite the hype associated with it.
It’s not entirely impossible. But given the story is light on detail and the main source is Google PR it looks very much like a case of hypemongering.
It’s literally the 2nd paragraph lmao
