Theorem prover bug sparks debate: LLMs writing proofs at scale is the real security risk

Responding to a discussion about a theorem prover bug, ethanbodzioney argues the real concern isn't malicious actors crafting proofs, but LLMs increasingly being used to write proofs at scale — from formal verification of security properties to cryptographic protocol verification — potentially leaning on a buggy prover to "prove" properties about software people care about. OwariDa agrees this will become an increasingly important concern as LLM usage grows.
