What kind of pisses me off was that there were kind of two sides of the continuum.

You've got the detailed technical writeup on one end in the patches themselves, and on the other end you've essentially got the AI and security companies both together (php2shell) and independently with their highly polished microsites and blog posts with attractive infographics and stylized pitch deck looking images.

Every publication on the other side of the detailed technical writeup in the patches themselves wanted to make it into a huge fucking marketing stunt first and foremost, providing absolutely zero added practical benefit or value.

People mistake OpenAI and Anthropic for AI companies, but they are in fact primarily in the business of marketing, and business is good.
