Creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup:
AI-generated code isn't ready — it generates more bugs, more bloat, more security holes, and is nearly impossible to validate
"senior developers are already retiring rather than deal with it"
The problem is that even a small prompt change can shift the entire codebase in unpredictable ways
I literally just watched GPT-5.5 via codex beat an Amazon customer associate in real time. 💀
I asked it to get me a refund, and I watched it navigate the settings, cancel the subscription, then it went step further into the help page.
I thought it was going to request a phone call (which would prompt me to take over)
Instead, it opened:
“Chat with an associate now.”
That’s when I sat up on my couch because I knew it was going to get real
The agent said:
“Your subscription is active.”
And GPT-5.5 immediately explained that it only shows as active because cancellation leaves access through the billing period, but that I wanted it stopped now and refunded.
And my jaw just hung open, it was the first time I watched sand handle a customer service agent for me in real time
Once the agent confirmed the refund, it just ended the chat no mercy no thank you LMAO
First time I’ve watched a human customer service agent get outmaneuvered by AI in real time.
And it made me 15$! almost paid for itself in 5 minutes
AI is amazing. I am extremely pro-AI
1. It has lowered the barrier of entry for programmers, resulting in hundreds upon hundreds of slop applications vulnerable to everything. This is job security.
2. AI influencers keep saying AI is going to destroy cybersecurity. This is good. AI influencers don't understand the size and scope of cybersecurity, they think it's just smashing a keyboard and making cat noises. This makes people less likely to enter our field, making us more valuable, making us more money. It's job security. Keep telling people cybersecurity is dead.
3. It's given us a new area of research: AI security
4. It's made task automation easier with slop Python scripts.
In summary, cybersecurity is dead. DO NOT try to work in this field. It's all over. Cybersecurity has been solved!
