What a coincidence, I just watched SANS ICS’s promo for their new HyperEncabulator last night. Finally, an Encabulator for the modern cybersecurity environment. [VIDEO]

What a legacy. Practically pioneered a new field single-handedly. And a few decades later they did it again! [VIDEO] Some will say the toroidal de-synchronizer firmware didn't need a significant refactor but those folks are probably still using memory unsafe languages with their 1978 V1.1 differential vortex limiter module.

I guess LLMs in general could be thought of as just a faster way to copy and paste bad S/O code, so perhaps it's just the next logical step of "fail fast" for people who need to fail faster than they can copy and paste. /s On a serious note: the one thing I think an LLM would be perfectly suited for, I haven't seen anyone make yet: producing real-enough sounding copy text, as a better replacement for Lorem Ipsum (aka Lipsum) text. The point of Lipsum is that the text is gibberish and thus should be ignored, so the focus is on the important factors: layout, colours, design, functionality. But in 20 years I've never once seen a non-technical person who could grasp that concept, so it's defeats the whole purpose it's being used. Of course it's also inevitable that some Lipsum will end up in the final product sometimes too, which confuses non-technical people and highlights an obvious failure to technical people. LLM powered text waffling on about the topic would be perfect. It doesn't matter if it hallucinates shit, it just needs to seem correct at a casual glance and it's already a massive improvement. Essentially Turbo/Retro/Hyper Encabulator[1], in text. 1: [VIDEO]
