This isn't a complete rebuttal to your argument but I'll note with irony that we're commenting on a thread about a FreeBSD kernel remote that Claude both found and wrote a reliable exploit for (though people will come out of the woodwork to say that reliable exploitation of FreeBSD kernel remotes isn't much of a flex).

Here, from the exact tranche of vulnerabilities you're saying was just a "grep for strcat", are the Firefox findings:

We're getting to a point, like we did with coding agents last year, where you can just say "I believe my lying eyes". Check out a repository and do Carlini's "foreach FILE in $(sourcefiles); <run claude -p and just ask for zero days starting from that file>". I did last night, and my current dilemma is how obligated I am to report findings.
