it wont, tulips had no value. im a dev with 10y experience and there are maybe 3-5 people on earth that could compete with top llm's when it comes to coding. it doesnt make me happy, i hate slop just as any other person but it doesnt make sense to tell yourself that its just a useless toy. its a generational leap that you could MAYBE compare to first computers that suddenly increased calculations you can make a second by 10000

What's fun about that, at least from what I understand from my code junkies, is that their jobs now consist of managing a fleet of bots and correcting their work, which is something they can do because they similar to you have 10+ years experience in writing code.

But companies aren't hiring entry level coders anymore, so eventually we're going to run out of people qualified to do what they're doing.....

we are very early down the road, imo its a matter of 5-10 years MAXIMUM before humans will at most be testing code. reviewing and rewriting with AI will become simply too fast and too reliable to waste time doing it manually

I am curious about regulated industries.
If you can convince an LLM to lie, could you hide your backdoors with its help?
Do we need separate models to both agree to be safe?
Should we even let AI models see our code for something regulated?

the only question is whether another llm would notice the backdoor

>Should we even let AI models see our code for something regulated?

we probably will not be able to afford NOT TO do it if others do it, question it whether those information will stay in your country, meaning whether countries will have their own llms on their own servers that they will be able to trust

That's terrifying, when vibe coding gets into critical infrastructure people are going to die

Regulated industries already dont regulate who is writing the code but what kinds of tests need to be performed and coding standards need to be adhered to. Eg. for highly regulated stuff they're actually running verifications against the compiler output, because they can't trust it, let alone the human who did write the compiler input.

So I don't see a problem extending these requirements to AI agents.

Firefox is a pretty old software. Generally well established. When Mythic was turned on it, it found hundreds of vulnerabilities in under a week. Many of them critical. AI security bots are so much better at finding security vulnerabilities, and escalating minor vulnerabilities by exploiting chains of relatively minor problems to create a major problem.

We can't afford to let the most sensitive data in the world be left unprotected. Agentic AI is too good at coding.
