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

      While I totally agree with the statement, question is - is this challenge even solvable? Though where I come from there is a proverb - "for every malady there's a remedy", wonder what it can be this time.

      And, of course, there are piles of legacy corporate spaghetti entangled in incomprehensible mess everywhere you look at. And this shit still runs, this precious hand-carved hand-weaved mess of bad decisions. I can't wait for LLMs to rewrite most of it.

        As long as people use AI to review new stuff before they ship the ratio of vulnerabilities waiting should be trending downwards. Still, likely to be a bumpy ride.
