> I'm not blaming Intel for this, I don't know if Intel could have foreseen the problem. The potential security issues with out of order processing were noted publicly at least as far back as 2007. The problem is that, on the whole, the entire industry doesn't really give a shit about security until it's too late, which is exactly the wrong time to start. I don't foresee this changing anytime soon. It will be interesting to see the downside of AI. Or maybe terrifying is a better word for it, since it could foreseeably include personal physical security. But before that time comes, people who think like me are still just pointy-headed paranoid security losers, I reckon.

Nobody is thinking about security and AI. I wonder how long it will be before someone images a neural net embedded into some product and then figures out how to trick it into behaving in some way that attacks some internal part of the program hosting it. I'm imagining things like images than when shown to image classifiers cause the classifier neural network to buffer overflow the conventional program hosting it and inject shellcode. Many types of neural networks are Turing-complete and are written in C by academics with no security experience. Fun times ahead.
