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.

Carbon storage could curb more than 90% of AI data center emissions, study finds
As artificial intelligence accelerates demand for computing power across the U.S., a new study co-authored by Hon Chung Lau, adjunct professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Rice University and founder of Low Carbon Energies LLC, has found that carbon capture and storage could play a major role in limiting the climate impact of data centers.

I just wanted to update my resume. Instead, I accidentally proved how a multi-billion-dollar AI tool hallucinates a glass ceiling for women. I changed a single variable: My name. Here is what happened when "Jennifer" became "Jeff." I fed Gemini, Google's AI tool, my old resume, my current info, case studies, and the kinds of roles I wanted, and asked it to write me a new resume. Simple. Except it wasn’t. The first thing I noticed was the softening.

LLMs/AI is just bad software. It's not ready for prime time. It is full of errors. Any normal software package that exhibited the kind of errors “AI” does would be yanked off the shelf and re-worked.

In the age of A.I., Hany Farid is struggling to prove what’s real before the internet decides for itself.

I keep seeing people say we should treat AI agents as junior developers, but I can't do that.
Because I treat juniors as future seniors that I get to help build. But the current AIs cannot ever become seniors, and if a future gen could, then the rest of us are even more fucked.
So no, that's not a good mental model.
