Hot take I keep hearing: "Never rely on AI for security, it's 100% hackable."
100% is a bold claim. But here's the thing: neither do human-only audits guarantee 100% security. Every audit report comes with a disclaimer "no liability, no responsibility" for a reason.
The uncomfortable truth? Security isn't a checkbox. It's not something you "complete" before launch and move on.
What actually reduces your attack surface:
• Security embedded in CI/CD, not bolted on after
• A dedicated security researcher monitoring incidents onchain/offchain, 0-days, and emerging exploits in real-time
• Active bug bounty programs that incentivize external eyes
• Full-stack auditing: smart contracts, infrastructure, frontend, supply chain
• Operational security that's practiced, not just documented
The projects that stay secure aren't the ones with the most audits.
They're the ones treating security as a continuous discipline, not a one-time deliverable.
AI tools, human auditors, automated scanners, they're all inputs.
None of them alone is the answer.
Mature security posture comes from layering defenses and never assuming you're done.
What's the one security blind spot you keep seeing projects ignore?

@__Raiders Thats exactly we've been aurguing since we launched bughunter.live. AI tools work (see post below regarding use of AI tools to find valid mediums) and allow SRs to focus on harder to find corner cases.

Glad to see that bughunter.live aided many SRs (@mdothassan , @0xDestinyae) find valid M-2 in @sherlockdefi @centrifuge contest (audits.sherlock.xyz/contests/1028/…).
Did I miss anyone?
