I didn't know users need an older whois entry, which would be irrelevant anyhow because 123ahg has not released anything like GPT-6 yesterday so commercial parallels break down immediately.
Definitely curious that the only people standing up for OpenAI in this thread are 1) accounts w/ random strings of letters/numbers 2) accounts created minutes before posting here
It's more like, don't eat ice cream cos they taste stale or wrong.
You are not forced to eat or read things you don't like/enjoy. And that's why most of us reads the articles or eat ice cream.
Especially when you can have someone (AI) summarize it.
Blogs like the one that is linked are almost entirely an entertainment medium disguised as an informational learning lesson. We already know LLMs are pretty good at security exploits, just like we already know they are pretty good at writing typical code.
Because it is an entertainment medium, the voice of the messenger is the only thing that matters and every current LLM has a boring, annoying voice. If you aren't telling us something new you better be telling us something in an entertaining fashion.
Part of it is bit natural too, a human authored content has its own asymmetries to keep it interesting. LLM generated content is way too verbose and kind of lacks that factor.
Nevertheless, it was interesting experiment, also a bit dangerous reality how people are using LLMs. Just flip the context from user trying to root their own device to some one else's device.
Speaking of manpages, during a different hn convo, I found out about mansnip [1]. It is for when you remember the command but forget what the flags do and has been very useful re: "I keep using curl -LO, what is that doing again?" etc
