AI Security Enters a Machine-Speed Arms Race, Human Patch Cycles Are Dead
srimisra · x · 2026-10-22
Following the critical PHP vulnerability incident that took massive systems offline, engineer srimisra calls it a watershed moment for internet security. His core argument: offense and defense now both have infinite armies — offensive AI continuously hunts weak links across millions of lines of code while defensive AI races to patch them. The old human cycle of finding a bug, filing a ticket, and deploying a weekend patch is dead; security is now an algorithmic arms race at machine speed.
