A Counter-Threat Intelligence lead for a major firm, who runs a team penetrating hacker networks to uncover new threats and comments about their company, and this is their reply to this thread. (posted with permission)

The mythology around hackers is wildly oversold. But defense requires doing it.

Being the person they have to call when the LLM hits its limit and they're running in circles is already the position I and some of my peers are already in.

The problem here is the pipeline. You don't get to my capability, by replacing younger less experienced me with an LLM.

This is gonna be bad.
