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.

AI is pretty good at spotting bugs and security holes and all open source projects should repeatedly and regularly vet their code with AI looking for exploitable bugs but I agree using it for writing the code without thorough human review will allow the feds control of everything.

That Dune quote is apt:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

Those other men are Palantir, the western trans-Atlantacist bourgeoisie and the US empire project and the fact it can be used for this is why I am skeptical of a real bubble pop. It's just too useful for control and the potential of replacing proles entirely and for that reason I think it may be a bourgeoisie hail mary push that they cannot be easily shaken out of. The surveillance capabilities it brings about are very real for instance and they've long had a problem of more data than humans could sift through. AI is necessary for erecting their perfect all-seeing police state.

The AI "crash" such that it might be will be the anti-democratization of AI. It will be AI becoming unaffordable for your average person and used and affordable only to the largest most evil corporations and governments. The consumer AI models that can be run locally or afforded will pale in capabilities to the corporate models. Whereas personal PCs democratized computing, AI will undo that as computing shifts to being centered around AI. They can sell you a subscription that will still be miles behind what they have private and government access to and you'll be forced to buy it and live in their panopticon. And when this happens open source projects won't be able to access or afford the top bug hunting models to go through their code but the NSA and zionist private spy firms will and they'll just run around compromising people using these bugs until everything is compromised, everyone they remotely care about. And that's a frightening future because it means being open source is a security weakness because it allows adversaries to find bugs and exploit them while you cannot afford the same services.
