A while ago (probably more than I’d like to believe) someone (maybe Hamilton Nolan?) wrote a piece satirizing civil-discourse debates, demanding the New York Times opinion section let him come to their office and insult them for an hour lest they be silencing him. I can’t find any trace of it now.

Slop security reports was already an issue pre-LLMs, and it's definitely getting worse. One big danger is I think it makes it easier to miss or de-prioritize real reports — often the LLM writers are more polished and convincing on the surface.

Plus even worse, what I’ve heard from peers doing amazing work: Get sued once, win, your insurance rates spike. Get sued again, win again, and you’re still virtually uninsurable.
