@tripplehelix There's a difference between "an expert human would never have found that" and "an expert human would have taken much longer to find that". Anthropic et al like to imply the former, but Mozilla are saying the reality is the latter. At the Titanic Museum in Belfast (well worth a visit) there's an exhibit showing the notebooks filled with numbers used to manually calculate the engineering for ocean liners. Electronic computers can do the same calculations in a fraction of the time, but they're not doing anything *impossible* for a human. I read Mozilla's post as basically saying the same thing: with enough funding and time, their human researchers would have found every one of these bugs - and so would attackers - but new tools can massively accelerate the process.
