SITUATION EXPLAINED: What does it mean that models have surpassed humans at finding exploits in open source code?
We asked
@lorenc_dan, co-founder and CEO of
@chainguard_dev:
"Models have surpassed the ability of humans to find exploits and to find vulnerabilities in code. They're getting found incredibly quickly, and they're being weaponized incredibly quickly too."
"All of those systems and tools that people have had for years to deal with this kind of update cycle and patch cycle now aren't keeping up."
"There's been a margin call on 10 years of tech debt. It's tech debt that's been around that people have just been refinancing over and over, and now all of a sudden you have to figure out a way to pay that tech debt."
"But all of a sudden, overnight almost, this became one of the most pressing problems for the world of software."
