It's so cool that anthropic is setting up a double-sided protection racket where it will profit from the massive token burn of attackers and defenders with a tool specifically designed to generate exploits and their only observable mitigation is a clientside system prompt that sternly warns the LLM to be good and not do malware

It's not specifically designed to generate exploits; it's a general-purpose LLM that turns out to be very good at writing exploits.

I have come to the conclusion that making a thing as general-purpose as possible is a fool's quest because nearly all purposes are stupid.

All the well-defined and non-stupid goals can be pursued better with the right set of specific-purpose tools.
