| I like to think behind every Dev anxious to ship half baked software sits an omniscient middle manager with a vague idea of what the product was supposed to do, maybe |

| It's worse: it seems like almost every developer on this very site is aspiring to be that middle manager, with LLMs as their underlings. We are headed for scary waters. |

Only just when we started to have a resemblance of security we got agile and startups breaking things (making rubbish software to capture a few bucks faster) and now vibe coding and llm assisted hacking. The point of my, arguably rant, is that there is nothing new under the sun. | | |
| ▲ | gspr 17 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'm not sure my worries are assuaged by thr fact that it's been bad before, too. | | |
| ▲ | TeMPOraL 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | It should. We went through couple of cycles of "things are bad, inmates are running the asylum" before, and nothing of consequence happened. The world still goes on. It's not a guarantee this time will be the same - but it should temper the worry somewhat. | | |
| ▲ | lazide 14 hours ago | parent [-] | | Uh, even the database with all the compromising information on everyone with a US security clearance got leaked Previously no one was dumb enough to put that in one electronic database - it was on paper. This is going to get orders of magnitude worse. | | |
| ▲ | TeMPOraL 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | I thought security clearances are a dime a dozen, and "all FBI employees" list is full of administrative work and basically 80% mirrored on LinkedIn? (Yes, the remaining 20% - or however much - leaking is a problem.) | | |

| This will all of course end when our AGI lords lovingly manage everything /s |

| ▲ | gchamonlive 14 hours ago | parent [-] | | No because it's a problem of human communication. Taking humans out of the loop creates other social problems that have been thoroughly documented in cyberpunk mythology, not actual a solution, just trading one big problem with multiple little ones. | | |
| ▲ | Bluestein 14 hours ago | parent [-] | | Please note the sarcasm.- | | |
| ▲ | gchamonlive 14 hours ago | parent [-] | | Noted, but I think it's important to comment seriously because this is an important topic, sorry I didn't acknowledge the sarcasm, should have opened with something like "I for one welcome our AGI overlords" | | |
| ▲ | Bluestein 14 hours ago | parent [-] | | "All our base are belong to AGI" :) PS. Likewise, apologies, perhaps I was at fault for style: There was an underlying more serious point ... ... that, it is indeed a serious problem, that folks shouldn't be having their souls (or anything else for that matter) crushed, and that it indeed would appear to be an issue of conflicting incentives vs. management.- |
