security research now has this weird incentive where finding the bug is only half the game. the other half is packaging the story as "claude/codex found it" because that’s where all the attention is right now. model providers, with their big accounts and distribution, will push the story for you.
it looks win-win. weirdly, the human taste, target selection, hand holding, all get compressed into "the model found it".
frontier model companies happily push that narrative, while the researcher slowly gets devalued.
