It seems like the model has definitely caught some very interesting, old and potentially ruinable security holes. However, I am surprised that people are surprised by this. We need to only look to the past few weeks: when you have a tireless pattern matching bot looking for insecure patterns in code, [you are bound to find the bugs that humanity left behind](https://gurupanguji.com/blog/2026/04/07/github-actions-exponential-increase/), especially in code that's not been actively maintained in a _really long time_.

So, I am surprised that people are surprised. I am impressed at Anthropic parking some strategy credit here. They've leveraged the moment to gain some brownie points with the community and improve their brand.

Kudos for a win-win.
