AI-driven "Vulnpocalypse" settles it: vulnerabilities are dense, and our defenses are wrong
kevinweil · x · 2026-11-06
Kevin Weil (OpenAI) shared a new post by security researcher Tal Beery. Analyzing Google Chrome's vulnerability data, Beery argues the AI-driven "Vulnpocalypse" has settled a 20-year-old debate: vulnerabilities are dense, yet our defenses are still built as if they were sparse. Patch-first strategies premised on scarce critical bugs collapse when AI finds them at scale, so defense postures need fundamental redesign.
