@ceejbot@toot.cat I read this essay, and I think, "but, _how_ does an LLM analyze code for vulnerabilities?" I'm sure that one could build tools using "AI" (taken in a larger sense) to do that, but an LLM? It sounds like the wrong tool for the job, like using a vibrator to floss your teeth.
I think I'm just a dinosaur at this point. It's kind of depressing, but I was already contemplating retirement.
