And how many security vulnerabilities have you found? 516 is still a lot. One of those had been in the Linux kernal for decades.

Edit: and many of those real ones from the 6000 group anthropic says the maintainers just didn't want to fix as it was outside their threat model. A vulnerability in the Linux kernal, is different than one on an alarm clock app or something less serious.

Edit: And for people that don't know, this decades old linux exploit wasn't just a single bug it found. It was able to piece together multiple smaller exploits that it found, that led to being able to exploit this bigger bug.
