People are gonna hate this but: we’ll need agents ready and waiting to autonomously patch and deploy instantly

Then you just prompt-inject the agent to convince it to deploy a malicious patch. This isn't a solution.

  • You can have guardrails and still ask for approval. There is a difference between a guy who just has to approve a CVE fix and someone that has to take the time to understand what's going on, etc.

We need to deploy essential services at least twice, apply CVE ‘fixes’ to a subset of them, and have tooling to diff their outputs.

That tooling should be shut off from the internet [1], and if it uses a LLM that should be at least a few years old.

[1] technically impossible if it also has the ability to veto responses, but the surface can be very small.
