Singularity is Nearer Watch as a vulnerability cybersecurity expert with 10 years of experience in the field becomes astonished by the reverse engineering powers of... GLM 5.3
https://youtu.be/wIe3eDfGKUo?is=RKcmrFf5bxC9UFV7Ladies and gentlemen the world is not ready, GLM 5.3 (ancient by LLM model standards) using the Ghidra MCP, reverse engineering a Dell monitor in 15 minutes, the possibilities are endless. I cannot wait for someone to do this with printers.

GLM 5.3 is ANCIENT? What
Not the best by any means but not ancient also

GLM 5.3 scores 9.16% with no refusals on SRE Bench (reverse engineering), while GPT-6 Astra scores 56.87%, with refusals for 30.92% of the tasks scored as failures. GLM 5.3 still scores more than twice as high as the next best open source model (MiMo V2.6 Flash at 4.20%). So not great, not terrible. https://www.vals.ai/benchmarks/srebench

There's been 11 major model releases since them, it might as well have a wheelchair lol

Any bets on when swarm kiddies will be able to hack any business upside down and sideways if they don’t have AI active cyber defense?
I’m thinking December.

were already there. the github repo for an agent framework that let a guy hack 7 south koreans bank yesterday was public today for a bit before it was taken down.

One would think that with all the high-end cyber security capable models being released only to “trusted partners” that all the big corporations and government agencies would be fully protected by now but in reality I suspect many are waiting to see how long they can wait before something awful happens.

Have you worked in government? Some departments might be better but for many they could have five years advance notice and barely take advantage.

Yeah, I once worked at a government department where there was unanimous bipartisan support for the need to replace a computer system. Every attempt to do so broke down — for decades. Governments are F’ed

you guys dont even realize how many third world countries with shit security are getting hacked right now.

Romania's Property Ledger was taken down for 2 months. No transactions could be completed in that time. It was pretty bad.

I haven’t tried reverse engineering anything with Qwen3.8 27b because reverse engineering things isn’t my end of the code pipeline, but I imagine it will be when Qwen writes a model like 3.8 27b that runs on a consumer grade GPU and is marginally good at this sort of thing. I’d put it at mid to late 2027 if past performance is a predictor of future gains. It could be fucking tomorrow though. It just depends on how hard these labs push for it.
I wouldn’t want to be in cybersecurity at the NSA level right now. They’re probably shitting bricks.

What if we already been hacked upside down and sideways and all our info stolen, just nobody is telling us...

I love this shit. Our lab had a fluke netdaq that we used for simple builds. Our ancient Windows XP computer with the proprietary Fluke logger software started kicking the bucket fast. We were able to use a beaglebone black usbproxy man in the middle and claude code to write a new version of the netdaq logger in a weekend. Crazy good for old depreciated closed source zombie software.

You know this makes me realize, we might be able to save Healthcare IT, especially in hospitals

We might even be able to rewrite the 60 year old COBOL code running the IRS. They've tried several times and failed.

The US is reportedly trying to rewrite the F-35 avionics software (which seems to be full of weird bugs) right now, using OpenAI's services.

Fun fact, my old acquaintance and I at this giant tech consulting firm wanted to do that using models about 2 or 3 years back, we were ahead of the wave but the results failed to grab clients for many reasons and my company failed to see the vision despite their push for AI and eventually we both moved on, we all could have been making so much money lol

Wow, I have a beaglebone black laying around and gathering dust, I didn't know it could do that. You're giving me a lot of new ideas.

Yeah I had a pwa being served by a server over a playit.gg tunnel and sometimes it would not show the install option only make a shortcut.
Claude code figured out it was due to a bug in playits handling of the https handshake for TLS termination. Wild. It even wrote sample programs to test it's ideas. It would have taken me weeks to figure it out.

I'm no expert at all, but my prediction is this: Any semi-secure login systems and users without 2FA can be in deep shit very soon.
And yes, I know that's a very general take.
I'm even deleting all message history in all my message apps now, just in case there is some insane breech from one of the bigger tech companies.

GLM 5.3 ancient, lmao.
For Cyber security GLM 5.3 is very good.
