Zeynep Tufekci pushes back: we see a patching explosion, not an AI hacking explosion
zeynep · x · 2026-10-22
Sociologist Zeynep Tufekci responds to claims of an AI-driven hacking explosion: what we've seen so far is a "patching (aka fixing) explosion" plus one old-fashioned case of extreme incompetence unrelated to AI. She acknowledges AI dangers are real and an attack wave may come later, but insists nothing like a hacking explosion has happened yet — a direct rebuttal to Anthropic security lead Logan Graham's remarks.
