Mozilla reportedly used early access to Anthropic’s Mythos Preview to identify and fix 271 vulnerabilities in Firefox before release. The interesting part is not just the number of bugs, but what Mozilla’s team said about the shift: AI vulnerability-hunting tools may force a lot of software projects to go through a major “cleanup” phase because bugs that were previously hard to find may now be easier to surface.

Would you call this effective compared to old methodologies?

Mine would be: don’t ask AI to do the whole task at once.

For writing, coding, research, or planning, I usually get better results when I split it into:

  1. Understand the goal
  2. Generate options
  3. Pick the best angle
  4. Create the output
  5. Critique and improve it

What’s the one beginner AI tip you wish you learned sooner?
