Can't wait to see what they broke next week.

    Article: AI is helping us to patch more vulnerabilities than ever before!

    Reality: AI is causing us to have more vulnerabilities to patch than ever before!

    It's both, really. AI is identifying vulns, writing exploits, and also generating new vulns at the same time.

    Only ∞ more to go!

    How many flaws did it create though?

    Crazy how none of those fixes are uninstalling windows.

    No wonder my work laptop was freaking out today.

    And broke 900 functions...

    974 security flaws.

    Srs. Stahp microslofting.

    The big question is: How many things are they breaking? If they have to fix nearly a thousand bugs in a real hurry, they'll probably break at least as many other things.

    Patch Tuesday was last week. Keep up.

    Story says llms are finding vulnerabilities, which would account for increased numbers.

    I would not want to work in IT these days; even debating if I really want to do cybersecurity or just stay a career college student and work a part time job.

    What's the use when there are exploits they're not aware of and therefore aren't fixing? It's a matter of time before an llm exploits or and destroys it all.

    999 bugs in the OS, take one down, patch it around, 1000 more bugs in the OS

    This could be the "new normal" for 2026 and beyond, with monthly totals climbing sharply since mid-year.

    This would require there to constantly be security flaws to patch. Sure, vulnerabilities are inevitable, but steps can be taken proactively to avoid them, and no operating system (most of these vulnerabilities were in Windows) should be introducing an uncontrolled stream of constant vulnerabilities (in many cases against the user's wishes).

    Anyway, patching security holes is a good thing at least so long as the total surface area of holes actually decreases over time.

    The new normal part of this is that AI is really good at identifying security vulnerabilities too obscure for any normal human to catch. Every major piece of software is having a massive increase in vulnerability discovery, and no one is seeing an indication that it'll plateau once "all the bugs have been fixed"
