Corrent me if I'm wrong, I'm not a security researcher, but 20 hours, a week of work, 2283$ spent and over 2 trillion tokens, is not very 10x-ing as we were promised. Especially if you take into account that the guy is at least half capable for this take.

I dunno

Chrome exploits (obviously that can be used to compromise people) go for $1,000,000 on the black market so anything cheaper than that to generate is impressive.
