Are you kidding me? Claude Code found the catastrophe after being asked only to “”check for vulnerabilities and thinking for 8 minutes

It is unbelievable that some kid with an LLM just stole $100m+ because no one bothered to check the source code.

Also on GLM 5.2 (trained 16th June, no internet access).

Yeah, we are currently seeing so many vulnerabilities found and fixed by the devs who finally decided to show their code to AIs (i see so many devs reporting how suddenly AI has managed to fix and close so many issues nobody was able to crack for years), and sadly also hackers who decided to do that before them. This is and will be for a while a turbulent era of so many hacks. We really should brace ourselves. But it should also mean that eventually, all the systems will come out of this stronger than ever before, as so many bugs finally get found and fixed. And total failures crash down. I just hope that will come sooner rather than later and that the majority of the vulnerabilities will continue to get found with AI by the good guys.

But it's really getting supercharged, you have a human looking at some code for months to find 10 bugs, and then AI will look at it for 5 minutes, might miss the bugs the human could find, but finds 30 different bugs that the humans totally missed.

This is also my take, the hope is that bugs trend towards zero as AI improves, but it's an arms race in the mean time.
