How accurate have Ed Zitron's AI race: StartLux

Interesting that they seem to have been demoted from 5 to 4.5; that they later released something they felt they could reasonably call gpt5 feels slightly beside the point there. He's been right on the money. People here are mad that he is because they aren't done writing their post yet. It is a curious exercise to look at the top voted comment. No one cares about the merits of the model, etc. HN has become nothing but an echo chamber.

Curl seems to becoming one of the favourite things to demo AI finding vulns. Curl is going to happen. At best, people can talk about risks and likelihoods of outcomes. Hate on him all you want afterward, but don't have it do all (or most of) the writing. If we sample from Zitron's claims, a lot of work for Google.

Fair enough on Zitron being wrong, but I think it is a private closed source project accepting donations, and still headed by Rick Brewster. Although I seldom use Linux as main desktop, LWN is one of the most important learnings one can make from working in professional environments.
