Of course they are… that’s what CVEs are all about!

Only the dead have seen the end of zero-days.

I'm very torn on Mozilla collaborating with not only slop conductors, but crypto bros as well.

I get the issues with image generation and using text generation in scams etc. but as a professional coding tool (not just vibe coding slop) AI can be extremely helpful certain tasks, and this use case, where organizations just don't have the resources to have a security expert pore through millions of lines of code for bugs, is a net positive.

I think this is a case of "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" we can absolutely still criticize the industry and specific companies for IP, societal, and environmental concerns but lets not turn away a win just because they're causing harm elsewhere.

The AI will exist either way, and people who use that AI will discover these exploits with it. I'd rather it be Mozilla.

That's why Servo and Ladybird need to be vastly built up

bad news, ladybird is all in on slop too

but servo should be fine, in fact right now they have an explicit anti-ai policy!

Hopefully not, but it makes you wonder how many vulnerabilities they might be introducing by fixing others...
