After three months of seeing what agentic engineering produces first-hand, I think there's going to be a pretty big correction.
Not saying that AI doesn't have a place, and that models aren't getting better, but there is a seriously delusional state in this industry right now..
- iainctduncan 7mo agoAnd we haven't even started to see the security ramifications... my money is on the black hats in this race.
- kypro 7mo agoWe are starting to see them, also the bugs too. But to your point I think this year it's quite likely we'll see at least 1 or 2 major AI-related security incidents..

- AstroBen 7mo agoYes I'm with you. I spent the last 2 months heavily doing "agentic engineering" and I don't think it's optimal to work like that as a default. LLMs are for sure useful and a productivity boost but generating 99% of your code with it is way overdoing it.
