I read the title and only the first paragraph(s). Gonna take a guess, based on

  • many security fixes, biggest number yet/in a while/or whatever
  • hard to exploit/probably hard to find as well (by a human)

I'm smelling LLMs deployed to find bugs.

I'm not sure if it matters much, I just thought it fun to take a guess.

Yeah. Me too.

Even in Linux, LLMs found a lot of bugs and vulnerabilities that didn't get fixed for years.

Yeah, what was it, like 1300+ security fixes? 😅

I think the bugs don't have a fixed count. Some critical bugs get fixed within weeks, while others are still being reviewed.

It was one release recently which had that many fixes, I mean.
