- Description: The real security problem isn't AI slop — it's that vulnerability research and the broader industry can't prioritize what actually matters in the noise.

We don't have a slop problem. We have an inability-to-prioritize problem.

When it comes to security — and particularly vulnerability research, but really right across the board — the issue isn't that there's too much noise. [It's that we can't figure out what matters](https://cje.io/2026/05/02/the-top-five-turtles-in-a-stack-of-50/).

Part of the reason? I don't know if you've noticed, but if you look around... [it's all basically slop at this point](https://cje.io/2026/05/04/thoughts-on-the-slopdemic/).
