Claude Opus 4.6 found it… and persuaded itself there is nothing to worry about.

Lol.

Gemini 3 Pro supposedly “discovered” a backdoor.

Yup, sounds typical for Gemini...it tends to lie.

Very good article. Sounds super useful to apply its findings and improve LLMs.

On a similar note.... reverse engineering is now accessible to the public. Tons of old software is now be easy to RE. Are software companies having issues with this?
