This feels like around seven seconds here. But back to Alex's tests. There's a bunch of errors getting thrown around the IAM transcoder agent.

None of the errors here, it gives us a perfect, but this is pretty good.

You know, there's a saying that you hear software people say, it's turtles all the way down, right? Like, you know, something I tell my Stanford students is that security is an incredible field to get into because it's the only part of computer science that gets worse every year, right? Like every part of CS just magically gets better, right?

Like graphics and compute and storage, but systems get more complex, right? less understandable and more important every year. And so as a result, systems get less safe and there's more need for people to break them and make them safer. And I think AI has just massively multiplied that. I mean, this is one of the weird things about AI. Just...

Theoretically, AI systems are supposed to be what's called deterministic, right? So a deterministic system is a piece of software where if you know the inputs, you can predict what the outputs are. In practice to human beings, modern AI systems are non-deterministic. We have no fricking idea why they work.

Like we just build these things and we train them on these huge training sets and then they just kind of happen. Right? Like, they just kind of do things.

Like, we are building software systems that are beyond human comprehension. And we're throwing them in our pockets and then building our lives around them.

And this is another thing I tell my students. It is the most exciting time to be in security since the late 90s because, once again... new kinds of vulnerabilities and bugs are being discovered every day of new entire classes of issues, right? This is what it was like when I was young.
