Some combination of reporting bias given concerns about LLM security capabilities and actual new vulnerabilities found with LLM assistance. Even if exploits and outages are unrelated to LLMs, I'm certainly thinking about whether claude could build these things (or if actors already have).

Slowly at first, and then suddenly. AI assisted anything follows this trend. As capabilities improve, new avenues become "good enough" to automate. Today is security.

i believe a good portion of the cves hitting the front page are moreso because they are ai-related (found partially/in whole by ai) and make for quick upvotes.

AI is happening.

Automated vulnerability discovery via LLM.
