Imagining 2026: machine intelligence finds 1,313 Debian/Linux CVEs in a year

roasbeef posted a speculative take: by 2026, you wake up to find 1,313 CVEs reported in Debian/Linux in a single year, largely discovered by emerging cyber-capable machine intelligence — accompanied by thisisfine.gif.
basedjensen replied that this is "actually good," arguing that AI-driven mass vulnerability discovery surfaces problems early and benefits ecosystem security. The exchange captures the community's mixed feelings about entering the AI cyber-offense era.
