AI is going to be tool by which backdoors will be installed in trusted open-source applications (hexbear.net)

Now that AI has become the main tool used by developers to write code, even in open source environments, it will be how feds will slip in backdoors to applications because nobody is going to review the logic of 20000 lines written by AI in a single commit.

Unless projects completely ban use of AI and only allow small commits, this is going to be inevitable. I've been seeing so many applications merging AI slop to their code on github already.

Oh and another thing is it prioritises older standards all the time

LLMs are trained on existing data. There is going to be less data bout new stuff than there is about older stuff.

Yes an llm fundamentally only looks backwards it cant look forwards. It relies on nerds like me utilising new language features properly to produce relevant slop but honestly i feel like that kind of person is a dying breed and higher level languages are being treated no differently to assembly where its just machine output thats never questioned or even looked at.

Been seeing a big comeback of basic exploits like sql injection its kinda funny. Its kinda funny how many “engineers” i now work with that dont know what that even is
