Yes. Script kiddy capabilities have increased, but the classification still works.
Then might as well put them in the vibe coder definition. I believe he has a point though: a script kiddy needed the tools someone else built. The person who built that was someone anywhere in the range of "knows enough to reason about attack vectors and can program something to help him/others" to "people deep in the industry with knowledge and skills very few people have, creating a harness dedicated to cybersec, for better or worse".
Now that script kiddy has access to the second kind, on demand, at perhaps, a very accessible cost. Things are about to get really wild, assuming uncensored k3 models that allow this sort of prompting exists.
any open weights model can be stripped off of guardrails with seemingly pretty simple techniques and there's several already made libraries or tools to do so.
Running K3 on your own infra is still not "cheap" tho, but we'll get there maybe.
but yeah to my point, we're making "intelligence" a commodity, with all the ramifications that entails.
