they should make another mailing list for ai generated reports that they totally read, and ban anyone who submits slop to the main one. not sure how feasible it is since spammers will just generate new emails, but at least they would have something clear to point out the malicious intent.

The problem isn't that AI is maliciously spamming the mailing list, it's that AI is able to find and report real or potential security vulnerabilities at rates that no human organization can process fast enough. Open source browsers and Linux have been slammed lately with vulnerabilities found by Mythos.

Aah.. that is indeed a problem since the threats have to be dealt with fast once they are reported since they are now basically public..

It would likely create more work and just result in two unmanageable mailing lists. Doubling the problem.

Sounds like the perfect solution!

the point being the mail list for ai slop is there just so it doesnt clog the actual one and anyone who breaks that can be blacklisted as malicious actor.
