Okay, okay. I need to devote some time to catching up on genAI capabilities in a professional sense.

Security Researchers & SecOps - what's your favorite use case so far?

Also, what's a lesson you learned the hard way?

***Also - please save the snark. I'm tired, and this is a genuine, if hesitant, ask.

One of my professional networks - filled with actual practitioners - is substantially less negative on AI lately. There's spend and craft involved, so it's not a turnkey solution, but a lot of folks in this trust group are finding substantial productivity benefits, rather than hype.

@neurovagrant they've moved on to 'harness engineering' from prompt engineering. i can show you what I've built if you'd like

@Viss @neurovagrant Wtf is “harness engineering”?
Show threadViss22h ago
@schrotthaufen @neurovagrant so you know what prompt engineering is, right?
Show threadschrotthaufen22h ago
@Viss @neurovagrant Yes
Show threadViss22h ago

@schrotthaufen @neurovagrant so harness engineering is tuning 'the thing you use to talk to the llm' instead of 'wordsmithing your prompt'. because the harness itself does a lot of the heavy lifting.

thing of stuff like claude code, crush, opencode, openclaw, nemoclaw - these things all talk to the llm on your behalf and handle a bunch of the heavy lifting, so "your harness" can be way more effective than "your prompt"

@Viss @neurovagrant Ah that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.
