A toddler has the innate ability to audit code. They’re just not very good at it. I stand by my position that LLMs are an unproven tech when it comes to security auditing.
As of this moment all we have is “data” straight from marketing departments, and a handful of anecdotes.
- OutOfHere 7mo agoNo, a toddler does not have the ability to audit code. It takes good software security skills, which agentic coding LLMs absolutely possess. It doesn't have to be perfect. With veritable dinosaur-grade beliefs like yours, nothing would ever change in the world, at least not for the better, with extinction being the only inevitability.
- kennywinker 7mo agoMaybe. But the change you’re proposing is still to destroy any power that security researchers have to demand good wages by breaking their work into small units of labour and dispatching them uber-style. So my line of thinking may lead to stagnation, but yours leads to inequality, exploitation, and concentration of market power in the hands of a few. Do you not see it’s better to stay the same than change things for the worse?
