Long tail of vulnerabilities: why 'AI will fix all bugs' is a flawed mental model
davidmanheim · x · 2026-10-23
Responding to the optimistic view that AI will eventually identify and fix all bugs, davidmanheim argues the mental model behind that claim ignores the density and distribution of exploits. Empirical data has long shown vulnerabilities follow a very long tail, and "finite does not imply findable" — he bets there are many undecidable claims about arbitrary code, making the 'all bugs will be fixed soon' scenario implausible.
