Sometimes I feel like the entire world has lost its god damn mind. To use their bridge analogy, it would be like if hundreds of years ago we developed a technique for building bridges that technically worked, but occasionally and totally unpredictability, the bottom just dropped out and everyone on the bridge fell into the water. And instead of saying "hey, maybe there is something fundamentally wrong with this approach, maybe we should find a better way to build bridges" we just said "fuck it, just invest in nets and other mechanisms to catch the people who fall".

We are spending billions to build infrastructure on top of technology that is inherently deeply unpredictable, and we're just slapping all the guard rails on it we can. It's fucking nuts.

no one wants to think about security when it stands in the way of the shiny thing in front of them. security is hard and boring, it always gets tossed aside until something major happens. When large, news worthy, security incidents start taking place that affects the stock price or lives and triggers lawsuits it will get more attention.

The issue that I find interesting is the answer isn't going to be as simple as "use prepared statements instead of sql strings and turn off services listening on ports you're not using", it's a lot harder than that with LLMs and may not even be possible.
