Remember this is a general purpose model that just happens to be good at finding exploits because good models are good at lots of things. Expect similar from OpenAI & Google.

Reposted by Oliver GouldJohn David Pressman @jdp.extropian.net · 29/03/2026Yeah so my takeaway from this is that any software written in C or C++ is just doomed and will need to be replaced ASAP. People may soon be incentivized to make radical switches that would otherwise have zero momentum. e.g. Niche formally proven OSes. 6668
