AI Is Breaking Two Vulnerability Cultures

The article examines how AI is disrupting two dominant vulnerability disclosure cultures: coordinated disclosure (90-day embargo) and 'bugs are bugs' (quiet fixes). Using the Copy Fail vulnerability as a case study, it argues that AI accelerates vulnerability discovery and patch analysis, rendering traditional embargoes ineffective and suggesting very short embargoes as a solution.

The AI jobs narrative is BS

Scott Galloway argues that the fear of AI-driven mass unemployment is a narrative engineered by those who profit from it, not data-driven. He compares AI to past technological innovations, which historically created more jobs than they destroyed. The article explores three scenarios: a bubble burst, slower-than-expected adoption, and rapid disruption outpacing adaptation. It concludes that current layoffs are cyclical, not structural, and the real issue is wealth inequality.
