What a weird comment.

You think he cynically decided to boost his career by writing a detailed description of the exploits found in his own software.

Is there no room in your model of the world for someone to figure out something interesting using AI tools and then write about it just because they like sharing interesting information?

The irritating thing about this thread is that it's a human-authored post about vulnerabilities in a WASM interpreter, which isn't a common genre --- it's interesting on its own terms. But as usual, instead of discussing the interesting thing, we're rehashing the high-salience culture war issue instead.

It is not at all, in the slightest, weird heuristic to deploy in the Agentic Era.

It’s a heuristic after all. There is no proof one way or the other.
