Bug Bounties Aren’t Universal, AI Hype Is Overblown
Had a great conversation with Mackenzie Jackson from Aikido Security on The Secure Disclosure — we got into some contrarian takes: not every org should run a bug bounty (yes, from the Bugcrowd founder), AI slop is really just 2014 all over again, AI won't replace hackers because bad guys aren't packing up and going home, and the fact that the internet still works is a minor miracle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtcBhb_aqxk
