Hardly. The linked anthropic paper is extremely underwhelming. It portrays no tectonic shifts.

> Practitioners will suffer having to learn the anatomy of the font gland or the Unicode text shaping lobe or whatever other “weird machines” are au courant

That's absurd. Do the vulnerability writers _start_ with this knowledge? Of course they don't. They work backwards. Anyone can do this. It just takes time in a category of development that most open source authors don't like to be occupied by.

> You can’t design a better problem for an LLM agent than exploitation research.

Did you read the anthropic article you linked? It found absolutely nothing and then immediately devolved into a search for 'strcat.' That's it. Again, literally _anyone with the time_ could just do this.

> a frontier LLM already encodes supernatural amounts of correlation across vast bodies of source code.

'grep strcat' is "supernatural?"

This starts sprawling very quickly after this. The AI revolution is not real. The cargo cult is headed for a new winter. I only see articles proclaiming the sky is just about to fall any day now, yet, I see no real world evidence any such thing is happening or likely to happen.
