    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!

            They sort of already do; the commercial American providers all require you to be 18 to sign up for a plan capable of agentic coding.

            So, I guess people under 18 aren't allowed to learn to program anymore.
