Summary
Welcome to the inaugural edition of Kernel Panic! AI doomers have recently traded one worst-case scenario for another, putting aside a potential software vulnerability apocalypse to focus on the possibility of rogue AI causing mass human death in the next decade. A tidal wave of vulnerabilities uncovered using AI has only accelerated in recent months—piling more pressure on under-resourced, and human, IT and security teams and straining volunteers who maintain crucial open source software. Microsoft said last week that it has issued patches for 974 CVEs so far this month, setting a new record. (CVEs, or common vulnerabilities and exposures, is cybersecurity jargon for confirmed software flaws.) In July, Oracle shipped 1,448 patches compared to 309 in July 2025.
