    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!

            So, like professional orders in Europe? Thankfully everybody agreed that writing code is not engineering so this isn't mandated by law, but we were this close.

              You don't need a permit or degree to draw up plans, just to write your name on the official version and get it implemented in the physical world. It's closer to deploying code than writing.

                We have a lot of that in Europe. Parasite professions. Someone who does nothing but charges a lot for his signature.
