[$] Using LLMs to find Python C-extension bugs
The open-source world is currently awash inreports of LLM-discovered bugs and vulnerabilities, which makes for a lot morework for maintainers, but many of the current crop are being reportedresponsibly with an eye toward minimizing that impact. A recent reporton an effort to systematically find bugs in Python extensionswritten in C has followed that approach. Hobbyist Daniel Diniz used ClaudeCode to find more than 500 bugs of various sorts across nearly a millionlines of code in 44 extensions; he has been working with maintainers to getfixes upstream and his methodology serves as a great example of how to keepthe human in the loop-and the maintainers out of burnout-when employing LLMs.
