We're set up here for the computer security apocalypse for a while, but on the other side of it, now we have coding agents that can go in and actually fix all the security bugs.

How are you going to secure a software in the future?

You're going to tell the bot to secure it, and it's going to go through and fix it all.

And so, so this thing that was this incredibly scarce resource of high quality software is just going to become a completely fungible thing that you're just going to have as much as you want.

Right.

And that has like, you know, that has like tons and tons of consequences.

In some sense, the answer to the question that you posed, I think is just somewhat, I don't know, simple or something or straightforward, which is just, if you want all your software and rest, you just tell the bot, you want all your software and rest.

Things that used to be hard or even seem like an insurmountable mountain to get through all of a sudden, I think, become very easy.

I think we're pretty close to being... I don't know if this would work today.

I think we're pretty close to being able to ask the AI what would its optimal language be and let it design it.

It's true.

Okay, here's a question.

Are you even going to have programming languages in the future?

Or are the AIs just going to be emitting binaries?

Let's assume for a moment that humans aren't coding anymore.

Let's assume it's all bots.

What levels of intermediate abstraction do the bots even need?

Or are they just coding binary directly?

Did you see there's actually an experiment?

Somebody just did this thing where they have a language model now that actually emits model weights for a new language model.
