AI finds dormant critical software bugs, but defenders hold the edge

A nuanced take on the AI-cyber discussion: the disaster is real but looks different than imagined. This week's long-dormant vulnerabilities in critical software were found via OpenAI's Patch the Planet and Daybreak initiatives, giving infrastructure providers over two months to patch before public disclosure. Despite an early leak, the process worked about as well as possible—AI bug-finding favors defenders more than attackers.
