Pattern: AI Security Discovery Scaling 100x Faster Than Human Remediation Capacity

paddo.dev·medium signal

Project Glasswing's results crystallize an emerging structural problem: AI-powered vulnerability discovery found 10,000+ critical bugs in one month, but fewer than 100 patches have been deployed. Mozilla required manual patching of 271 Firefox vulnerabilities from a single scan. As paddo.dev frames it, 'finding collapsed to near-free — fixing didn't move.' This discovery-remediation gap will define the next phase of security tooling, and creates a massive opportunity for AI-assisted remediation, not just AI-assisted detection.
