alt Hacker NewsI mean it in the sense that AI security hype and the larger geopolitical environment has woken up a lot of people to the reality that they need to consider security. And the ones that haven't woken up yet will get a wakeup call when they are breached. It also increases the demand for real security expertise, which is already scarce.
Also, in my niche (hardware and embedded product security), AI doesn't a have a functional impact to the work except in code analysis, but even that is difficult given the level of abstraction these systems are built at.
That's fair, though even that could just be a matter of time, as people build tools that interface LLMs to the physical world. I wonder how something like Bus Pirate could be used with an LLM (maybe a more powerful version of it?) to grok and poke hardware all over the place.
