From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Slopzilla Slopfox 🙄
This isn't going to end well.
Look, I'm all for fuck AI, but this isn't that.
It will be. You'll see.
If it's finding valid vulnerabilities then it's just another tool like static analysis, fuzzers and sanitizers. There definitely seems to be a difference in quality compared to earlier generations that were behind the sloppy avalanch of reports.
Instead of 271 vulns, it was more like 2 vulns, found 271 different times.
Here's a o good article about it https://www.flyingpenguin.com/the-boy-that-cried-mythos-verification-is-collapsing-trust-in-anthropic/
I don't think these are all Mythos, but it's more than 2 fixes: https://infosec.exchange/@tomrittervg/116443139069130293
There's a difference between using AI to apply fixes for problems, and using AI to find problems that you didn't know about.
Mythos does the latter, not the former.
It's only a matter of time until they decide it should do both and it makes a mess. Calling it now.
Yes, the sky is falling, AI is ending the world, slopslopslop, etc
We know the bit.
