Wow, anyone know when the last time Apple released two security updates only six days apart publicly before?
It’s gotta be back when they had to pull iOS 8.0.1 for completely disabling people’s cellular data, yeah?
Downstream of top tier AI capabilities finding security flaws.
We will be in this mode for months (maybe years for some problems that will require re-architecting)

If you think it's frustrating for us, imagine what it is like (frustrating plus terrifying) for the people inside Apple, MS and Google (and even IBM, I imagine Z and AS are also getting on-going 24/7 security scans by AI).
