All kernels are riddled with security vulnerabilities. The hype
surrounding Anthropic’s “Claude” may just be a marketing gimmick for
now, but sooner or later it will become a reality. Don’t get too hung up
on CVE-2026-31431, wie wäre es mit
https://wid.cert-bund.de/portal/wid/kurzinformationen. Besides, eight
years have passed since Meltdown and Spectre without them being fully
resolved, and just think about how many more virtual fingers an AI could
stick into the system to really wreak havoc.
