Summary
“Patch the Planet,” (which is a not-so-subtle allusion to “ Hack the Planet,” the iconic catch phrase from the 1995 movie Hackers ) will see OpenAI team up with the security company Trail of Bits to help open source maintainers secure their projects. OpenAI said security staff from Trail of Bits will work directly with open source maintainers to review potential code issues. “Many maintainers are already being asked to sort through more reports, more quickly, with the same limited time and resources,” OpenAI said Monday. In other words, Trail of Bits engineers will function more or less like code EMTs, there to help open source project maintainers identify and triage potential issues, all supported by OpenAI’s software.
