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.

This fluff piece has quite the pie-in-the-sky attitude toward the blue-teaming applications of AI.
How reassuring.
Could've said the same thing when enterprise anti-malware came onto the scene decades ago, but the reality was it was just another vector for the arms race between the red team and the blue team. The author seems to put a lot of stock in the whole "the blue team has access to these AI tools that the red team doesn't currently have access to" argument, which kinda ignores the fact that that reality is simply not going to last.
I could be wrong, but any article suggesting "zero-days are numbered" doesn't pass the smell test.
Yeah, you're right.
The real story is that it is a bit better at finding bugs. Calling them zero-days and implying there's some major security implications is just to build hype.
It was able to chain a few of the bugs together to create a RCE exploit in a weakened browser, it's interesting but don't go to your fallout shelter just yet.
