A general limitation of this approach is that it is only as good as your validator, and there's nothing easier to validate than a test case that creates, say, an AddressSanitizer use-after-free. For subtler issues will we have to more specific validators or will the LLM become better at coming up with other dangerous conditions it will verify? We'll see.

Sure, but, surely AddressSanitizer would also detect the same problem in the C or Rust which together also make up about 25% of Firefox so... ?
