> 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.
> I don't understand the relevance of time to fix. It has no correlation with severity.
That they're small bugs that don't involve any serious architecture changes (or architecture sleuthing), just small pattern recognition. LLMs are pretty good (maybe great) at that. Finding 10 bugs is nice. Now find 10 more.

The headline here is that none of the bugs were serious.
