Valid point but using AI to prod other bitcoin projects will be an obvious play to any black hat given the coldcard debacle - hopefully red team is just front running them. Maybe we have got this far without a serious hack because people didn’t believe there would be something as simple as an entropy bug in a HWW as much as the new generation of frontier models. The cat is out of the bag in any case.

i didn't say doing AI reviews of the projects makes sense, what I question is the need to spend all the effort in announcing the great successes of the beloved red team not to mention the incredibly sloppy instances of public msgs across platforms tagging founders/maintainers saying "hey read your DMs we need to discuss something security related". doing the work and making sure everyone knows you are doing the work are two different things. incentives and expected value calculations are a bit different when you as an attacker need to guess/hope that some of the projects will bare fruit of your attacks vs having confirmation that theres tons of vulns so just dig and you'll find more gold. specially because theres no value in spreading the stats of the results besides telling everyone how great of a job you are doing.
