The rise and fall of Stack Overflow is a case in point of the parasitic nature of LLMs. LLMs feed their models on places like Stack Overflow to be useful to users, so users flock to them to avoid the eternal snarky comments and just get an answer to their […]

To all the open source developers who put hours and hours of their lives into a project they built, put it out into the world, and now it sits with approximately zero users.

It occurs to me that people outside the security field might find it odd that we openly publish stuff like this. Why help people who might use the knowledge to do bad things?

There are a number of reasons. The first is that only through open discussion are we able to identify and fix problems […]

Essentially, their argument was that this would be a huge pain and expense to fix, and so we are all better off just keeping it on the down low. And that kind of worked, for about a hundred years, until more open communities - like computer security research - started looking seriously at locks […]

Mila mostly powers down in the winter, except at 2 in the morning when she has zoomies and wants love and headbutts. If you think a cat stops having zoomies at nearly 20, apparently they don’t
