    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

    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.

      This is assuming that project owners and good actors won't also be using LLM tools to protect open code.

      Open does not mean vulnerable, open simply means it's a more obvious cat-and-mouse game.
