Boomer, GenX und Millenials sind in einer Welt weitgehend ohne AI und AI Slop groß geworden. Das hilft uns zumindest ein bisschen, AI Slop zu erkennen. Jedenfalls noch. Für jüngere Generationen ist AI Slop „normal“, und das wird der Gesellschaft spätestens dann auf die Füße fallen, wenn GenZ in Führungspositionen kommt. #justthinkin

Open source is benefiting from the current AI trend: some projects are already improving their security posture and reducing their attack surface.
Proprietary software, for now, seems more out of the loop.
But once LLMs become better at analysing binaries, compiled code, and obfuscation, I wonder how vendors will handle the likely increase in vulnerability disclosures.

This is what Weizenbaum wrote about the dawn of the computer age: it was used as an excuse to not even try to make society better. The same thing is happening with “AI” now.
We know what would make society better.
One example is UBI (which Weizenbaum mentions in the same book in passing as “negative income tax”).
But of course we don’t have universal healthcare or UBI nor really any other advances (perhaps the ADA was a rare win); instead trillions of dollars are invested into software that tells us to bomb schools; for the sole reason to say it was the computers’ fault, not ours.
