AI is escalating cyberattacks, and defenders must patch vulnerabilities first
AI summary
The author believes the current cyberattack landscape is quite severe: people complain that AI writes poor-quality code, but internet infrastructure was already built on 50 years of poor-quality code written by humans; now even less capable AI models are becoming powerful hacking tools. The author points out that this is a race—defenders must use AI to find and patch vulnerabilities before attackers do.
Body
It's pretty bad out there (cyberattacks).
People complain about AI writing slop code. But our software and internet infra run on 50 years of human-written slop.
Even dumb AI models today are becoming powerful hacking tools.
The race is on: defenders need to find and patch the bugs using AI before attackers find them.
