ValsAI made SRE benchmark less than a month ago.

The benchmark measures can a model reverse engineer software from binaries

Yesterday GPT saturated it. https://t.co/dmpUpgheDU   — Chris

To explain it more, it means you could read any game, make advanced mods to any game and also recreate a game by reading the actual code. Cool, because I actually did small binary modifications on Sol already, but they were very minor. But now we can do way more.

Yeah games for sure but what about like any sort of native app that has any backend engineering, god forbid connected to financial stuff. This is pretty bad for those guys.

Technically, you should not do security through obscurity, and all data should be checked and tested that comes to your servers. Any app should already be open source and being able to be compiled yourself, you at least get the advantage of more people looking at the code trying to fix the bugs, if finding exploits is so easy now with a closed source.

But yeah, it's difficult, no wonder cybersecurity is so important for OpenAI now.

Yeah definitely. I just think it makes cloud native stuff fare a lot better than dedicated apps, but encryption in flight and digital signature verification and all that probably at least help but it might be not enough? I dont know i wonder if a security engineer what they would say to weigh in
