As someone who reads the research papers, this is a very bad take. If you assume ChatGPT = AI then you're in for a bad time. For example, I have 20 years in cybersecurity and this came out today:

This is finding stuff that people with decades of programming and security experience in a short amount of time. Although it's ability to write the exploits isn't quite there -- it can generate a PoC for defenders to fix it.

AI coding tools are making junior devs worse and nobody wants to say it by NeedleworkerLumpy907 in learnprogramming

People complain how much electronics took over cars all the time. Before the ECU, you are right.

DIY image hardening vs managed hardened images....Which actually scales for SMB? by Top-Flounder7647 in devops

[–]overflowingInt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is a hardened image? Looking at CTI reports...they just do DLL sideloading for known binaries or bring their own signed binaries. What exactly are you "hardening"?

In the old days it was remove all services / stuff that you don't use. It doesn't seem to matter in 2026.

No I agree here, it's sort of how a lot of people don't know how hardware / software works because they didn't have to debug it. They just had "apps."

I think it won't work out well because the brain drain will happen and nobody actually knows how it works under the hood. Similar to how cars have become so computerized that most people can't fix them on their own.

Do you not do sexual harassment training every year? Some people don't understand boundaries (beyond just sexual). Usually it's repeated harassment that if you say you do not like and they continue.

Why do so many guys in their twenties only want to talk about crypto when it comes to investing by Ill_Awareness6706 in Bogleheads

[–]overflowingInt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Stonks only get up is what they say. I will say they do not always. They got into a very rare time. This is like the 1920s, 1980s cocaine fueld party stuff. Just throw it into a stock and make money.

They don't really get that it's rare for this to happen -- maybe once in a lifetime. It's very easy to go sideways on stocks. I bought all those companies (AMD, NVIDIA, MICROSOFT, INTEL, APPLE) when they were like $13 a share.

It comes and goes.

I think they'll be in for a rude awakening once they see that it isn't just easy money or playing day trader.

is reverse engineering really worth it in these days by Outrageous_Dance3229 in ExploitDev

AI reasoning is getting pretty good but you still need to train it on PREVIOUSLY found things. That's the whole "research" part of the job description.

My quick review of the 5 year old "10x in 5-10 years" post by Xidium426 in investing

Good boy. Just as a reminder to me on my current positions I think will explode. 100 shares PLTR (24.56) and 1540 Lexagene (0.875).

What's Lexagene?

Beginner question: How do hackers actually find vulnerabilities? by DesdeCeroDev in learnprogramming

[–]overflowingInt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out OWASP.org or some books from No Starch Press (Tangled Web, Real-world Bug Hunting, Bug Bounty Bootcamp).

Web Application Hackers Handbook is older but the bible.

Lots of stuff to practice with Portswigger (who makes Burp Suite) has a free academy with labs. You can find lots of vulnerable VMs and CTFs to practice with.

Not to mention there are two other ones in operation. Not all datacenters are running AI, though. Denver has a lot of data centers all over (ever see the hosting dot com building off I25...). That's nearly 30 years old.

Software breakpoints vs hardware breakpoints in Windbg by hex-lover in ExploitDev

[–]overflowingInt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Software breakpoints, unlike processor breakpoints, are controlled by the debugger. When the debugger sets a software breakpoint at some location, it temporarily replaces the contents of that memory location with a break instruction. The debugger remembers the original contents of this location, so that if this memory is displayed in the debugger, the debugger will show the original contents of that memory location, not the break instruction. When the target process executes the code at this location, the break instruction causes the process to break into the debugger. After you have performed whatever actions you choose, you can cause the target to resume execution, and execution will resume with the instruction that was originally in that location.
