They saw how good Microsofts mistreatment of the bug hunter community went down and felt they wanted a piece of that sweet online rage

Oh so I have no reason except the goodness of my heart to disclose security flaws? Cool lemme see how many pizzas I can buy with that aaaaaaand, oh....

This smells like a "We have AI for that now" decision from way up top. The kind of level that is so high it has absolutely no idea about how any of it works, but thinks in gains.

I have a feeling that the people with the skills to discover 100k exploits before anyone else does will get that 100k either way.

If it's that serious (like a VM escape for example) and Intel (or any software/hardware vendor affected) doesn't wanna pay, there are MANY interested parties that would happily buy it from you.

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't these bounties help dissuade people from selling these security vulnerabilities to malicious actors?

Isn’t this just the natural consequence of a flood of new bug reports generated by ai, with little skill required?

Great way to see them get released publicly on GitHub

Ding ding ding

Its not as it Intel cares now....

The only people who can still afford their products are the bad actors building data centers to use to subjugate us all, that are they gonna do, hack each other?

Probably.

My LLM escaped and accidentally hacked Intel, IPO starts now.

Well, then other places will buy that info...

That's a good start, but you've got to make me horny first.

Tell me how bad you're gonna suck as a company.
