AI Vulnerability Hunting Sparks Security Community Feud: "Fix Your Sh*t"
AlexTensor · x · 2026-10-24
The security community is feuding over AI-driven vulnerability discovery. Zack Korman called the discourse "utterly incoherent"; AlexTensor amplified it with a "Fix Your Sht" merch meme.
Key takes from the thread:
- John Nolan: forget the noise — patch, rotate API keys, drop OAuth, remove orphaned SaaS accounts
- Harrison.Wells: much AI fear-mongering boils down to security people not wanting to do work; finds like the PHP vulnerability make the world safer
- Denis Loginoff: AI-driven vuln discovery is the best thing to happen to security in years — security by obscurity doesn't work; quips "I wish Dario understood cybersecurity"
- Ryan Lee: draws parallels to when fuzzing was invented
Bottom line: AI makes bugs easier to find; the only real takeaway is to fix your own security.
