Aaand this is why AI is taking our jobs and we all rightfully deserve to be laid off. This utter lack of risk awareness and care for quality is what created the need for autonomous agents to dig through and build upon man-made slop.

Honestly, I find it rich that we’re the ones who think that AI is the one that’s producing slop. Give any agent clear harnesses and it’ll produce better code than a human would close to 100% of the time. That’s still as indeterministic as the way you used “most of the time”, but the deviation tends to be smaller and the quality and rigor is much higher.

Are you suggesting that AI-written code tends to be more secure than human-written code? Because there are many examples to the contrary, starting with MoltBook.

Not really, no. That's not even the point. Say for example they're just the same level of security. Then what value does a human even offer to a company if AI can do the same quality of work faster? It's not as if the company benefits from something like "human discernment", because as predicated in this thread, developers exactly have none of that, since they don't care about the security aspect of the VSCode extensions that they use. Might as well lay off the human developers and just use AI for as long as the latter is cheaper. How many people does a company really need to update its VSCode to the version that blocks the malicious extension? Do you need more than one and does that person have to be full-time?
