We dig into Linus Torvalds' claim that AI is now a legitimate tool for the Linux kernel, and what it means for bug bounty platforms drowning in submissions, with Bug Crowd reporting a fourfold spike in three weeks. We debate the game theory of vulnerability disclosure, whether AI validation is about to become mandatory, and whether limiting US models just hands the advantage to attackers using unrestricted ones like Kimi. We also ask if bug bounty as we know it is already dead.

🚀 If AI can find and validate vulnerabilities faster than humans, does the entire bug bounty economy need to be rebuilt from scratch?
