George Hotz: Zero-Day Vulnerability Discovery Isn't Hard, the Financial Incentives Are Just Too Weak — 240 Upvotes on r/singularity

George Hotz posted on LinkedIn that discovering zero-day vulnerabilities isn't especially difficult, but the financial incentives for doing so are too weak to make it worthwhile for most people. The r/singularity thread (240↑, 58 comments) debated the implications, especially in the context of Anthropic's Mythos discovering thousands of zero-days — if AI can scale vulnerability discovery while human incentives remain misaligned, the security landscape faces a structural problem where offense dramatically outpaces defense.
