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

  this is a good outcome. A forcing function to encourage all computing to be more secure can only be good in the long term, even if there's a lot of pain in the short term.

    I wonder what “a lot of pain” could mean here in a world where Crowdstrike is allowed to render half of the world unbootable without repercussions.
    Not that I think you are wrong, I am sometimes just confused why we hold back on fixing security because of imaginary deployment- and business-related pains, when it is so obviously unproblematic to crash half the world for a day?
