Initial handful of comments on this post are incredibly ignorant of how the world of programming works. As far as I can tell from the release, AI didn't cause this issue, it just helped find it.

No language or framework is 100% secure and it's immensely better for it to be caught ahead of time with AI than to just sit exposed for who knows how long, with new things constantly added on top of and around it.

r/technology (and r/worldnews) has only a handful of modes: fuck AI, fuck Russia, fuck Trump, fuck big tech. A news story can be summed up by one of these and that's what the comments are going to be about.

Which "fuck AI/Russia/Trump/big tech" isn't necessarily a bad position, but when its your only thought-terminating comment, it gets in the way of actual discussion.
