When Microsoft reviewed the early results of Anthropic’s new AI model for cybersecurity, it was a sobering scene: Hundreds of bugs were identified, many of them critical.

What followed was a “mad dash” to patch them — but many more remain.

Anthropic’s New AI Model Can Identify More Software Bugs Than Ever. Microsoft Is Struggling to Fix Them Fast Enough.

Anthropic’s Mythos has flagged bugs faster than Microsoft can fix them. Documents reviewed by ProPublica reveal the tech giant's “mad dash” behind the scenes to patch holes before hackers can find and exploit them.

@ProPublica
How many bugs are reported to MS that years later they have done nothing about?
Some reported before general release.

AI that finds bugs faster than humans can fix them sounds impressive until you realize that gap is exactly where attackers live. The speed of discovery has outpaced the speed of repair, and that's a structural problem no single patch cycle solves. Good on ProPublica for pulling back the curtain on this one.

@ProPublica Intelligent people were aware that MicroSlop generated shit code even back into the 80s. Stupid people use MicroSlop products.

@ProPublica
I mean... Given the close ties between Microsoft and Anthropic, I'm naturally inclined to be skeptical to any hype from MS about the "crazy good bug discovering abilities" of Anthropic's AI.

That said, this is as good a reason as any to stop using Windows and MS-products in general, and start using Linux and its open source equivalents.
