      They sell you the AI to create the buggy code, and then they sell you more AI to fix the bugs. Amazing. Just think of the amount of profit for the shareholders.

    Why?

    Google added that it doesn’t believe its own Gemini models were used, but still has “high confidence” an AI model was part of discovering the vulnerability and weaponizing an exploit.

    No, really, why? If Google itself or their models didn’t discover the vulnerability, how would they know genAI was used on the discovery of the vulnerability and weaponization (interestingly, not “creation”) of an exploit?

      Because it makes the big line go up. Anything to prove that “AI” is anything other than a dumb series of if/then statements.

      Google and all large companies employ a fleet of both fte security researchers and 3rd party security firms to constantly stay on the edge of security threats. They constantly are looking at artifacts from the wild and white papers etc

    Google being nothing more than an AI slop factory these days makes sense given how terrible Android is now.

    Generative AI didn’t make anything, it just retrieved indexed code that already existed.

    Google circa 2002: “Don’t be evil”

    Google 2026: “Try to be slightly less evil than the top 5 evil things combined”

      In retrospect, it’s kind of wild how many of us (myself sadly included) actually believed Google’s “Don’t be evil” thing instead of seeing it as a “My “Not involved in human trafficking” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.” situation.

      If you are powerful and evil, you use your power to redefine what evil is.
