Since February, the Firefox team has been working around the clock using frontier AI models to find and fix latent security vulnerabilities in the browser.
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.
Slopzilla Slopfox 🙄
This isn’t going to end well.

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/
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.
