It will be until we (hopefully) change the way we work. Security has been an afterthought for most of the past 30-40 years, and there are virtually no regulations requiring security, audits, or inspections before releasing software. Now that attacks are cheap and easy, the only way to prevent these constant compromises will be to secure things before releasing them - not an afterthought, but a prerequisite. If we do finally as a society demand this, then the compromises will go away, because we won't release any new versions of software without securing it first. This depends on having open weights with strong security scanning. If nations keep banning powerful open weight models "because they're dangerous", those nations' companies will be at more risk, because they won't have the tools to secure their own software. Countries with more permissive models will allow their own businesses to secure their stacks earlier, more people will use those businesses, they will thrive. The invisible hand of the market will choose whoever can improve first, not whoever bans things first. | ||
