The software industry should be ashamed by the number of exploits that ai can find in software. It’s really an embarrassment.

The software has to be built better.

Every single software engineer in the industry agrees with you.

Every single project manager disagrees.

Don't blame the engineers, we were specifically instructed and paid to build things fast and cheap, and every time we argued for good we were shouted down.

I'm curious if you are a coder and have used an LLM to review your code. It is like something like shining a black light around a hotel room, and that seems to be the case even for highly regarded software.

It is really easy to have tunnel vision while coding. LLMs have a working memory with a capacity an order of magnitude greater than ours. I wouldn't trust an LLM to write the code, but at this point it is malpractice not to use one for review.
