A long time ago I felt like bug bounty programs would be an amazing way forward... Now I'm firmly in the camp of fuck it, sell it to the highest bidder.

The only issue with doing that is selling it to a nefarious party hurts the users and not really AMD. Or at least it isn’t hurting AMD anywhere near as much as it might hurt an innocent party.

And that is a risk AMD is willing to take.
