> "We also haven't seen any bugs that couldn't have been found by an elite human researcher." In other words, it's like adding an automated security researcher to your team.

This is a really dumb take.

Having a security researcher you can spin up (and therefore an army of researcher you can spin up) is not a nothingburger.

That it hasn’t found a new class of vulnerabilities is little consolation if it can pump out vulnerabilities from known classes.

Did Anthropic build the bug-finding machine thats a thousand times cheaper than an elite security researcher? Can others replicate it and make it ubiquitous?

We don’t know the answer to the first. But say it’s just as expensive, you can instantly 10x “headcount”. As they say, quantity has a quality all of its own.

As for the second question, I think our default stance should be “yes” given the history of every other model advancement.
