I wonder what is the goal here? If Google Search was used to find a major software flaw would this be reported in this way? Between Mythos, OpenAI's Mythos equivalent, it's not clear if there is some interest to keep the "AI is powerful" trend going or they are trying to indirectly bring attention to the technical capabilities of LLMs in cybersecurity (as a potentially untapped source of revenue).

They're proclaiming that AI is the Latest Big Thing in the perpetual computer security arms race. So unless you want to be stuck fighting in propeller-driven planes when every real air force has jets, you better start spending big on AI. Preferably Google's AI, of course.

I can assure you that Google is not coordinated enough to pull off this sort of thing. Security researchers only care about security research. There might be some level of oversight on what's published, but the core security teams are not actively seeking a way to promote a particular narrative.
