  • I got downvoted to hell last time I expressed my views about religion, but it has served me well for 29 years now (having been born in the shadow of the Vatican), so I am willing to share again:

    I work, collaborate, spend time and even sometimes have sex with religious people, all while maintaining the idea that each one of them is akin to a dormant terrorist cell, and that given the right conditions their fundamental distancing from reason and in some cases recognition of undeserved authority can turn against me and everyone else.

    I live a subtly tense life, but usually I am already in a safe place when shit hits the fan.

    I also have a very wide definition of religion and of priest.


  • I have read the threads up to now and, despite being ignorant about security research, I would call myself convinced of the usefulness of such a tool in the near-future to shave off time in the tasks required for this kind of work.

    My problem with this is that transformer-based LLMs still don’t sound to me like the good tool for the job when it comes to such formal languages. It is surely a very expensive way to do this job.

    Other architectures are getting much less attention because of this the focus of investors on this shiny toy. From my understanding, neurosymbolic AI would do a much better and potentially faster job at a task involving stable concepts.
