Yes and no. Good defence is layered and an attacker needs to find a hole in each layer. Even if it is not layered intentionally a locally exploitable vulnerability gives little if you have no access to a remote system. But some asymmetry does exist.

are you logging access patterns and times to see when the degradation occurs?
And a ton of the top end ruby staff have left. Many of them ended up at shopify. There is a growing about of non ruby/rails code at github, but most of the system that people think of when they think github are ruby/rails.
Nat Friedman is a grifter who always shows up and says "I'm with these guys" when somebody or something is successful. I don't think that he was responsible for anything good.
The cursor investor pitch was we're training our own models to do coding. If your amazing model is just an RL repack, you need a new pitch to justify your 50bn valuation
Any investor who believed a team their size and with their capital was training a SOTA base model doesn't understand the space. I fully believe that was some of their investors, but people acting like RL + fine tuning based on their massive user base that's producing qualitatively better outputs than the base model is meaningless aren't understanding what the company is doing.
Could you explain how much improvement RL+fine tuning can give with respect to Composer 2.0 model over Kimi K2.5? I don't fully grasp the work Cursor model has done here.
