Say you want to build an AI-free fork of an operating system (kernel, userspace and all). Then step two after forking everything's last pre-ChatGPT version would be to backport fixes for all vulnerabilities found in the last ~3.5 years. So what if AI corps funding the search for new vulnerabilities and flooding important projects with CVEs is not only a PR stunt, but also a way to make it harder to cut them out of the picture? 1/2

By definition, you'd only make an AI-free fork if the developers have already fallen for AI. So what would they use to write the fixes for this flood of new CVEs? Well chatbots of course. Thus, if you want to completely avoid chatbot output, you actually can't backport those fixes, but you have to reproduce the error and then write a fix from scratch, without looking at the original code. For one or two vulns, that's no big deal, but it won't scale well. And maybe that's the idea. 2/2
