Imagine:

You are a programmer who is all-in on LLM code generation. You get so much written every day! Hundreds of thousand lines of code, and you barely lifted a finger. But... your LLMs are trained on the entirety of Github.

How many repos on there are full of trojans and viruses? How do you know that your super-productive LLM isn't copying those instead of the canonical version of whatever frameworks it's building?

One day you find one. You write a blog post about it. Or, rather, the vague outline of a post. You make an LLM flesh it out, of course. You barely lift a finger.
