OpenBSD is awesome, but what about the future? After the coming nuclear war the developers will be gone and all that will survive is the last stable sitting in a lucky AWS bunker. For a while, humans will use it for everything, but soon enough the AI beings that started the war will poke a million holes in it and we will all be enslaved. What we NEED is an AI that recognizes exploits, formulates a mitigation, and automatically adds it to OpenBSD. For humanity. Then I’ll buy a license

Actually funny you mention that because they rely a lot on coverity running on the github mirror already to cover those exploits

Bro we dev this in Brasil nobody's going to nuke us here

See your message probably came from the future AI through a micro wormhole, just to keep us off guard. OpenBSD needs to become an adaptive defense system and it needs a catalog of exploits to hit back, ideally generated by AI locally
They can't train their AI on OpenBSD because it doesn't support CUDA
Don't worry, Theo has clones of himself rigged to a dead man switch.
But what if they all wake up at the same time and try to ask each other questions on the mailing list?
I got genuinely frightened imagining that
What?
