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

      That's because lots of websites and applications are being written by low-skilled laborers in Third World nations. Many websites are rife with vulnerabilities and insecure configurations.

      It's not that difficult to build secure (web) applications but it takes effort and knowledge to get it right. You can't expect a web designer who can barely code in JavaScript to build a secure back-end, configure and maintain it. That's just asking for trouble.

      Even high-value sites are built by cheap laborers these days. LLMs (I refuse to call it A.I.) will expose their weaknesses within minutes.
