    Just the beginning. AI is going to expose how fragile the entire computing infrastructure in our world is.

      Does this also mean the code generated and reviewed by LLMs will not have such issues going forward?

        Quite the opposite, particularly when the biggest vendors of coding agents insist on not allowing their models to be used to check the code they generate for security issues.

          Why stop there? We should regulate who is allowed to write code in the first place!

            Easily done if everyone can be convinced that learning to write code is pointless since you can just pay an AI company for access to a chatbot that will write it for you.

            Fortunately there are people who write software for fun so there will always be some people who would rather do it themselves.
