[DISCUSSION] AI for Bitcoin, Friend or Foe?

[terrific]

AI is just a new gun.. Does your friend have the gun or a foe has the gun? Problem is either way sometimes it doesnt stop shooting when you let off the trigger..

I agree with this.
It's a tool, can be used to harm or protect people.
If it's wrongly used, it's definitely going to harm everyone. Recently, have discovered the bugs and vulnerability.
That is a great use to detect potential threat but, if it's used by the wrong people. They can scan and use it for attacking.
Might be optimistic to think that it's going to protect us from different types of threats, so maybe in the future we'd see battles of AIs against its own.

This demonstrates the importance of speed. On October 22 (6 days prior to the publication of these 3) a rapid response track was added for bugs which can be easily found using an LLM. They are published immediately, as soon as they are available to all supported release lines. If a vulnerability can be quickly found by a cheap scanner there is no point keeping the information secret, only giving more time for any attackers to perform the same scan. These were the first bugs to go through this system.

It also shows how this is a friend not foe. Project Loupe was developed by Spiral, Block's Bitcoin development arm meaning it was a defensive tool. The latest vulnerability was identified on the 23rd October, and patched releases were made on 27-28th. 2 of the vulnerabilities were of medium severity, with 1 being low. This was a great trial run of the new system.
