- cbg0 2mo agoDon't get all starry-eyed, the people owning those sites also have access to LLMs, so both the hacks and paydays are rare.
- wongarsu 2mo agoThe market will quickly adjust to the point where spending $50 on tokens will on average give you a vulnerability valued at $50. Maybe $100 to account for your edge in having a better prompt and the risk of prison time you take in selling the exploit In fact that may well be true today. OP didn't try to sell it to discover the true price the market is willing to pay. And we all know that "somebody paid $$$ for something similar in the past" is no guarantee that somebody else is willing to pay any significant sum for your thing today. If it was, startups would be a lot easier
- hoppp 2mo agoI don't think OP got $500k , it's only clickbait in the title.
- Philip-J-Fry 2mo agoOne LLM prompt can't get you $500K. Why would someone spend $500k instead of just prompting themselves?
