Defenders finally have a chance to win, decisively I’m curious how it will turn out to be in a long term. Are we going to have safer software? Because not only defenders will have a powerful tool, but attackers too. But at the same time, number of bugs is finite… Can we in theory one day achieve literally zero bugs in codebase?

Slopzilla Slopfox 🙄 This isn’t going to end well.

That doesn’t make sense. Don’t the attackers have the same tools?

How many vulnerabilities would’ve been found if we had spend several million dollars on human security researchers though?

This fluff piece has quite the pie-in-the-sky attitude toward the blue-teaming applications of AI. Some commentators predict that future AI models will unearth entirely new forms of vulnerabilities that defy our current comprehension, but we don’t think so. How reassuring. The defects are finite, and we are entering a world where we can finally find them all. Could’ve said the same thing when enterprise anti-malware came onto the scene decades ago, but the reality was it was just another vector for the arms race between the red team and the blue team. The author seems to put a lot of stock in the “the blue team has access to these AI tools that the red team doesn’t currently have access to”, which kinda ignores the fact that that reality is simply not going to last. I could be wrong, but any article suggesting “zero-days are numbered” doesn’t pass the smell test.

> We’ve led the industry in building and adopting Rust Yeah, then you fired the team to pay the CEO a few million more.

Meanwhile on GitHub Claude Code has over 5k bug reports, currently open.
