Before suing all your coworkers for garnishing their wages, I suggest you first consider how much fun you will have when you have to pay for the legal costs of the other party. But you will find that out for yourself. Anyways, I don't think it's your choice whether you want to take on huge law firms - that's usually the other party's choice. (I do hope most security researchers have a bit more training than "some education".)

are you not aware of the american rule and small claims? im not trying to take down coca cola here or doing frivolous lawsuits. if you catch your employer and coworker stealing your laptop, refuse to give it back eventually coming back with a rootkit then I'm absolutely willing to take this all the way and obviously real experts will be brought on board.

companies are rational actors they arent going to spend $800/hr on some partner to defend a $5000 billing dispute or a garnishment hearing for an ex coworker when my cost basis to generate the 20 page complaint and discovery requests using the API is literally under a hundred bucks.

my point isn't that people pursue this pipeline its that frontier models provide a great equalizer. you can bet that patent trolls and saul goodman type of lawyers are using the same tools.

what is scary isnt that these models will hallucinate or whatever (those are harness issues) its the amount of formality and complexity navigating processes with rigid schedules and verbosity that can cause context drift.

so this isn't just some "press a button let muh agents lawyer" its far more involved and frankly extremely tedious.
