Why marketing though?

because we're a company and we want to make money to continue to fund cool research, and help our customers secure their software :)

I don't quibble with your wanting to make money, but you also need to invest some resources on fact-checking, proofreading, and editing your work. You can hire technical writers and marketing copy editors on an hourly basis as needed. LLMs aren't good enough yet to produce high-quality output on their own; and the results tend to read similarly, loaded with clichés and identical turns of phrase.

(You're not alone in this, BTW; I don't mean to single you out.)

I would rather people who find this kind of stuff pad their resumes and get coolness points on HN than sell this exploit on the black market. But your priorities may be different and you might prefer they do the latter.

This is just a false dichotomy. Sure researches want money, credit but not at the cost of harming users or doing illegal things.
