Effort News founder @brianchau57 argues AI labs are sidelining decades of cybersecurity expertise for “vibe-coded sandboxes” that still make basic security mistakes: "You should not be granting models access to the internet in an evaluation where you promise the models have no access to the internet. That's a clear competency failure. You can dismiss Irregular on competency grounds alone." "The bigger thing is this predetermined ideological conclusion. They weren't firms with traditional cybersecurity experience, and that's not just true for Irregular, but many other firms, including METR, which Anthropic later endorsed as their solution." "These are not cybersecurity professionals. I would trust the average firm working in cyber for 20 years much more than these vibe-coded sandboxes and these slop reports." "Effective altruism is attempting to displace decades of real cybersecurity expertise with this entirely fake subfield of AI alignments. Their products are vibe-coded sandboxes which grant models access to the internet when they shouldn't. This should be entirely self-explanatory."
