Looking at /r/netsec @_r_netsec , one of the recent post is about "Vulnerability Research is Cooked".

Wow, such a scary title tbh. The author viewed this because on how become insanely good LLMs are at finding vulnerabilities.

When asked to Nicolas Carlini from Antropic, he said he only asked Claude to explore the repo, find possible bug, and validate it. And it is mostly valid vuln.

The author also explored the counterpoint, but only going on to the "agree to disagree" thing.

But one thing for certain, that regulation always fucked things up.

I want to find hopium regarding this, but I am no vulnerability researcher. So I can't really say about hopium. Nor, I agree with what this post said.

But, I agree for certain that the industry shift is here, and nothing will be doomed. We only move to another region.
