    > So what all of mythos; that whole big marketing issue of 79 bugs came down to one hour of kernel development.

    If you're someone at OpenAI or Anthropic and you truly believe what you're making could destroy the world, this is the kind of thing that isn't doing you any favors when it comes to convincing the public. The dissonance here is stark:

      - widely proclaiming that your new model is so dangerous it needs to be released only to select people, for safety
      - widely proclaiming the model easily found 79 bugs in linux, except that GKH says it took 1 hour to fix all of them because most weren't bugs and the rest were almost all completely trivial, unimportant, and/or not severe
    
    It doesn't mean the model isn't dangerous or super capable but wow this makes it realllll easy to doubt it and any future announcement.

      yes and it makes me wonder about the claims others make about their own experiences with the models too. is this the case of OAI lying, or is it part of ai psychosis where you literally lose touch with reality as you uncritically accept whatever claims the LLMs make?
