Google TIG reports AI-discovered zero-day vulnerability

+++ Google's Threat Intelligence Group caught hackers using AI to find vulnerabilities in the wild, confirming what security researchers have whispered about for years. The iceberg metaphor is doing heavy lifting here, but the concern is legit. +++
+++ Researcher tested structured output across dozens of open and closed models and discovered that asking LLMs for clean JSON is apparently still a creative writing exercise rather than a solved problem. +++
"I've been running structured output prompts through a bunch of models on OpenRouter for the past few months — Llama 3, Mistral, Command R, DeepSeek, Qwen, and every other model on OpenRouter — alongside the usual closed-source suspects. 288 calls total. I wanted to know what actually breaks, how oft..."
