I didn’t claim to have 10+ YoE; I said that most of the people in Project Glasswing are security researchers with 10+ YoE (avg).

Yes, fair enough. I’m simply trying to shed some light on what goes on behind the scenes without disclosing too much information to avoid breaching the NDA(s) that all Project Glasswing users have signed. There’s a lot of speculation about the usefulness of Mythos as a security tool, so much so that even the US government got involved. Honestly, it’s so absurd that I can’t even express it in words. I thought that sharing a bit about how frustrating it is to work within this project, trying to secure software that literally millions of people around the planet use on a daily basis, while virtually everyone outside of it criticizes every move you make, would be helpful.
Many people I work with recognize the power of Mythos, just like any other model with a similar number of parameters, but most of the people I interact with agree that it’s not the ultimate panacea. I believe that it’s just vocal minorities scaring everyone into thinking that the model is some kind of cybernetic weapon.
HN has always been a place where people get to learn and understand things from viewpoints and domains they don’t work in.
It seems that HN has more people who want to just build stuff, than people who have to fix security issues. Discussing security is itself a challenge, because of NDAs.
I don’t think any sane adult assumes that sweeping stuff under the rug means the problem has gone away.
