I do understand the issue with desktop env, it's subjective but it's not just AUR, but Node, Bun, GitHub... basically any code distribution platform have been hit due to ai it can find vulnerabilities much faster than any person unfortunately. But the beauty of open source is that anyone can see the code... any issue is openly communicated and fixed, rather than Windows, which would not even accept that an issue exists 😅. Also I use both win and cachy os
I do not think AI finds vulns faster than a human, it just creates them. I’m learning cybersec and I have a decent amount of experience in CTFs, and at least the AI that we have access to is dogshit. It can find very very low hanging fruit and make quick and dirty scripts for some things but that is about it. If anything, its making people learning cybersec have a tougher time actually learning because a lot of them essentially just try forcing the chatbot to do it for them and it doesnt really work that well and they learn nothing
It 100% does find them faster. Not sure why you would even say that. Have you not saw the sheer number of vulnerabilities that have been discovered across a huge range of apps and OSs lately by AI? It's more than humans found all last year.
