Not what I said. The actual quote: “that isn’t to say there’s going to be no room for security research or ethical hacking, but a lot of the lower hanging fruit will start to go away.” Hacking experts are in a sweet spot rn where AI tech is helping us be super saiyan productive. What remains to be seen is what happens when the models become even more powerful. Anyone who disagrees may be in denial…
I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.
I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).
It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.
The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.
We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.
I worry.
@algunapaloma Es increíble. A la pobre muchacha la atacaron por pedirle una beca al presidente (ya que no puede aplicar a los programas locales porque es extranjera) pero luego enarbolan discursos de superación . Los estudiantes sobresalientes siempre buscarán las mejores opciones.
If it weren’t for WhatsApp, Meta would be irrelevant in my life. I can go months without using IG.
I just wish people would migrate to Signal (or any other app with end-to-end encryption).
@Blassanchezpena Claro y coincido que se debe proteger a los mas vulnerables y brindarles capacitación, pero ya hay demasiada ansiedad sobre la inteligencia artificial y el futuro de los trabajadores. Si se tiene esa discusión debe ser sin añadir mas leña al fuego.
I find the acceptance and defense of mediocrity to be deeply depressing.
This is true not just in the context of large language models, but particularly in the case of certain scholars and politicians.
