For example, Mariner (now branded Azure Linux) is a Microsoft-supported Linux distribution. So in this list of 570 vulnerabilities, Microsoft have reported 100 vulnerabilities inherited from all sorts of open source software projects included in their Azure Lin…

It seems like bug hunting might be the one area where AI is actually making the world a better place.

99.9% of people complaining about AI making the world a worse place would be fully happy with AI if they shared in the economic benefits of automation.

I've been benefitting from automation my entire life. I don't see why anything would change when that automation is driven by language models.

I don't see why AI would deskill what you love to do. People still do embroidery even though mass manufacturing exists. If you love something you would continue doing it irrespective of automation.

For a lot of people it’s not the job that is rewarding it the role having a job gives them in life and home life. Financially contributing to the household through earning it through work is a meaningful and rewarding thing that can define the near total of how good you feel about yourself thing even if you don’t like the job?

How many were introduced by misuse of AI coding/vibe coding though?

It is hard to tell, the code may genuinely be decent quality or not.
