RE: https://dice.camp/@realms/116459545804565917
I'd argue that "AI"-based development creates a bigger attack surface on closed source/proprietary software than open source software:
1. It's more likely that internal software development uses LLMs as they're most affordable to companies; leaving them more vulnerable to prompt injection and other types of attacks targeting LLM use.
2. It's more likely that internal commits aren't vetted as much (or even purely vibe-coded) as ones in open source projects.
3. It's more likely that attacks on open source projects are discovered quicker.
Also a reminder that the "Mythos" thing—like all the other doomerist things coming out of "AI" companies—is a marketing stunt to get Anthropic free press coverage.

Photolithography is a key part of modern semiconductor process flows, and photolithography steppers have been used for decades to achieve precise patterning for device fabrication. However, these tools are often large and expensive, which restricts their use to industry and well-funded university laboratories. In this paper, we propose a $3000 maskless photolithography stepper that is affordable, open-source, and easy to assemble. The stepper, which uses a Digital Light Processing (DLP) project…
