If you actually cared so much about victims of fraud you wouldn't be mad about a fraudster getting caught. You'd care about all the victims, not just the ones who were victimized by Somalis.

> I've had Claude Code write an entire unit/integration test suite in a few hours (300+ tests) for a fairly complex internal tool. This would take me, or many developers I know and respect, days to write by hand.
I have no problem believing that Claude generated 300 passing tests. I have a very hard time believing those tests were all well thought out, consise, actually testing the desired behavior while communicating to the next person or agent how the system under test is supposed to work. I'd give very good odds at least some of those tests are subtly testing themselves (ex mocking a function, calling said function, then asserting the mock was called). Many of them are probably also testing implementation details that were never intended to be part of the contract.
I'm not anti-AI, I use it regularly, but all of these articles about how crazy productive it is skip over the crazy amount of supervision it needs. Yes, it can spit out code fast, but unless your prepared to spend a significant chunk of that 'saved" time CAREFULLY (more carefully than with a human) reviewing code, you've accepted a big drop in quality.
The benefit of having a team of QA engineers create tests is their differing perspectives, so with LLMs being trained to act like affirmation engines you have to wonder how that impacts the test cases it creates. Its the problem of LLMs being miserable at critiques manifesting itself in a different way.
However, in saying that, I am by no means an AI hater, but rather I just want models to be better than they currently are. I am tired of the tech demos and benchmark stats that don't really mean much aside from impressing someone who's not in a critical thinking mindset.

Stochastic parrot? Autocomplete on steroids? Fancy autocorrect? Bullshit generator? AI snake oil? Statistical mimicry?
You don't hear that anymore.
Feels like whole generation of skeptics evaporated.
Those echoes have grown louder over the past year or so. The only way you've heard less of it is if you buried your head under sand.
Prompting, planning, iteration, coding, and tool use over an entire code base until a problem is solved.
Sounds like an antipattern being rebranded as a solution. I shouldn't have to precisely instruct AI on how to solve every problem. I should be able to give it requirements and with its vast knowledge it should be able to understand various design elements within a system like design patterns and make the appropriate change without me needing to tell it to look for those things.
Does anyone trust benchmarks at this point? Genuine question. Isn't the scientific consensus that they are broken and poor evaluation tools?
Honestly, I am inclined to think a lot of the people who are wowed by benchmarks and simple tech demos probably aren't doing very much at their day job and if they're either working on simple codebases or ones that don't have very many users(more users == more bugs found). When you throw these models at complex software projects like SOAs, big object-oriented codebases, etc. their output can be totally unusable.
Can you share the code?
No because this story didn't happen.

im not saying OP did this, but I've actually had AI spit out some pretty stellar bash scripts, surprisingly
I don't think its that surprising. Bash is old as dirt and scripts by definition are meant to be simple. Where AI struggles is when you add complexity like object-oriented design. That's when the effect of it trying to solve every problem in a way unique to it just takes shit off the rails. LLMs known design patterns exist but they don't know how to use them because that's not how deep learning approaches problem solving.
Your definition of heavy gamer I think differs from the norm if your main plays were Mario kart, et al.
Yeah, I am pretty sure most heavy gamers in 2004 were knee deep into MMOs and FPSes.
It’s notable that there were ShinyHunters members arrested by the FBI a few years ago. I was in prison with Sebastian Raoult, one of them. We talked quite a bit.
The level of persistence these guys went through to phish at scale is astounding—which is how they gained most of their access. They’d otherwise look up API endpoints on GitHub and see if there were any leaked keys (he wasn’t fond of GitHub's automated scanner).

Generally speaking, humans are more often than not the weakest link the chain when it comes to cyber security, so the fact that most of their access comes from social engineering isn't the least bit surprising.
They themselves are likely to some extent the victims of social engineering as well. After all who benefits from creating exploits for online games and getting children to become script kiddies? Its easier (and probably safer) to make money off of cyber crime if your role isn't committing the crimes yourself. It isn't illegal to create premium software that could in theory be use for crime if you don't market it that way.

Israel stole US nuclear secrets to create their own nuclear weapons program, they killed American navy men, they destroyed 90% of the buildings in Gaza and very blatantly committed genocide in the process of doing so, Palestinians prisoners are commonly held without trials or charges i.e. they're hostages. Zionism literally cannot exist without them committing ethnic cleansing because everywhere Israelis live used to be Palestinian properties.
Honestly, what is your point? What are you seeing that the rest of us aren't getting? For the record, my mother's family is mostly Sephardic.
