You and I have both been here on HN nearing 20 years and you’ve been making this comment to that comment about bug bounties and the supposed black market value of exploits for the whole time. I suspect you’ll never run out of threads to correct. Thank you for your service.
replyOkay, then first download all their sources (perhaps with model weights?) and sell that. Not the bug itself
replyNow you're not selling a vulnerability, you're planning a heist. That is a thing you can do!
replycurious, the bug allows dumping private repositories of openai, that sure has black market right?

reply> Valuations for server-side vulnerabilities are low, because vendors don't compete for them.
replyWhy don't they?
Because as soon as they are patched, they are worthless.
replyPeople pay for vulnerabilities because they want to exploit them - if there’s a limited window, there’s limited demand.
Even if there’s something worth a lot behind the exploit, a potential criminal would be better off obtaining whatever that is and selling it instead.
