I feel the opposite, note how most all AI vulns discovered use source code level analysis, empirically keeping source code hidden is more secure.

This is a sampling error - we're only hearing about the public disclosures.

(almost) No company actually has secret source code, only source code not publicly viewable. And the LLMs crawling those don't belong to people who make public disclosures.

Using LLMs is a great way to empower the governments behind them (US and PRC) to cultivate a garden of undisclosed bugs in your closed commercial codebases.
