Much as I want to rip on vercel, its clear that ai is going to lead to mass security breaches. The attack surface is so large, and ai agents are working around the clock. This is a new normal. Open source software is going to change, companies wont be running random repos off github anymore

Your entire recent posting history is "software engineering is over, AI has won."

What's your agenda here?

  • The guy has like 10 thousand comments boosting AI and 600 karma, whatever his agenda is people aren’t buying it.

  • how many recent security breaches have we seen?

    • Most of recent issues, including this incident, happened not due to smart superintelligent "agents" taking over the world - chatbots and other text generators are about as intelligent amd powerful as a dead starfish - but due to the combined stupidity of the said chatbots amd lazy idiots who use them to hide their own incompetence and thus produce such embarassing mistakes. A few years ago, they would be fired for exposing secrets in plain text, but since their manager wanted an AI-Workflow...

LOL. Attackers will run these agents but the thousands of maintainers will be so dumb to sit idly and get hammered with exploits. I wonder what the ratio of attackers to maintainers must be, 1:1000 is a fair assessment i take it.

Also LLMs will be used to attack only, no one will be smart to integrate it into CI flows, because everyone is that dumb. No security tools will pop up.

Slop coding and makeshift sites being thrown up with abandon at breakneck speeds is going to buy me a lot of minivans.

>> ai is going to lead to mass security breaches.

Let that be the end of Microsoft. Was forced to use their shitty products for years, by corporate inertia and their free Teams and Azure licenses, first-dose-is-free, curse.

ShinyHunters are a phishing group. What does this have to do with AI agents?

  • Run ai agents around the clock to do hyper targeted fishing

    • I feel like humans would be better at hyper targeting.

      AI agents have the benefit of working at scale, probably "better" used for mass targeting.
