Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
It takes a good person with ~~a gun~~ AI to stop a bad person with ~~a gun~~ AI.
Yeah, good luck with that...
1+1=your mom
I'm not holding out any hope for "good" AI for a very long time...
I don't think the poster means that, I think they are drawing parallels to the flaws of gun anti-regulation to AI. Both arguments are bad is the point
Perhaps I came on too strong but I took it as just joking around.
But if the argument was to be real, then I note that a gun is actually quite an effective tool to accomplish its purpose, whereas AI is not truly "I"(ntelligent).
HAH... FUNNY JOKE!
Thanks Joke Yoda.
Ah yes, I'm sure AI just patched that software so that other AI could use that patched software and make things so much more secure. What a brilliant idea from an Ex-CISA head.
Is that why she's Ex-CISA? ๐คฃ
Based on my understanding of programming I think they're going to need an extra couple people on the security team because of the Ai's "fixes"
I just asked an AI what the minimum wage was in 2003 in the UK and it told me that it was ยฃ4.50 and that on a 40 hour work week, that came out to 18k a year... But sure, trust it to write and fix code...
The UK doesn't have 100 weeks in its year? No wonder y'all lost the Empire.
If an AI can be used for automatic scalable defense, it can also be used offensively. It'll just be another digital arms race between blackhats and everyone else.
This is central plot premise of Neuromancer.
Except that most risks are from bad leadership decisions. Exhibit A: patches exist for so many vulnerabilities that remain unpatched because of bad business decisions.
I think in a theoretical sense, she is correct. However, in practice things are much different.
My old job had so many unpatched servers, mostly Linux ones. Because of the general idea that "Linux is safe anyway". And because of how Windows updates would often break critical infrastructure, so they were staggered and phased.
But we've seen plenty of infected Linux packages since, so it's almost a given there's huge open holes in that security somewhere.
I'm glad you left that old job. They were just lax and stupid.
No. Her "theory" is full of garbage assumptions.
This is like a landlord painting everything white. It'll hide / seem to fix some issues, but probably isn't the fix you're looking for.
AI can't even write decent unit tests. How the hell is it going to properly red-team this service?
Easterly said that if cybercrime was a country, it would be the third biggest in the world, just behind the US and China.
Good idea ๐
