Max AI-glazing perspective in the title, as expected. We need to fix bugs that no mere humans could successfully find and exploit. Thankfully we have AI that can fix those bugs that wouldn’t be a problem without superhuman code agents.

But there are potential upsides like the already mentioned possible nation state exploits (sleeper exploits).

They would absolutely be a problem at some point, the timeline is just uncertain. That means defenders have to fix them all just in case.

That’s a legitimate and sensible opinion to have. But FYI I wasn’t inventing my hyperbolic retelling about bots-protecting-from-bots. See paragraph “Jana says actually exploiting the bug requires carefully working out a way to jump to a specific point in the memory for a particular program running on the server”.
