Linus Torvalds says the worst of the AI-found bug flood in the kernel may be over

Linus Torvalds notes that the worst of the flood of bugs found by AI since the spring seems to be over: "most other areas haven't reached that point yet, but it's at least a sign that we may be starting to see the tide starting to turn." Jussi Navok observes that even assuming AI improvements, recent models haven't found bugs in quantities similar to the April models, guessing future finds will be fewer but far more difficult and complex. The result may be a better, more hardened system rather than AI making security permanently obsolete.
