Um, but it's the corner that our code's complexity had painted us into.
voice-verified
When an unsuspected problem was discovered, you know, hopefully by a responsible security researcher, we would apologize and fix it.
voice-verified
So having Microsoft patch a total of around 2,217 previously unknown and unsuspected bugs over the course of just the past four months.

It's a truly fantastic consequence of their application of their AI-based M-Dash vulnerability discovery and remediation system.
voice-verified
But the fact that there were
voice-verified
twenty two hundred and seventeen patchable flaws, with an unnervingly large percentage of them being critical, and many catastrophically wormable, means that as I started out saying,
voice-verified
our software had largely become incomprehensible to us, which is just dumb.
voice-verified
Um we were managing
voice-verified
To survive this situation because for the most part, the operation of our bug-ridden software was just as incomprehensible to the malicious actors who might set their sights on using its flaws against us.
voice-verified
And I say for the most part, of course, because we've also witnessed a more or less continuous trickle of zero-day flaws that like two in this past month.
voice-verified
That bad guys would quietly discover and then use to attack their targets.
voice-verified
The great hope, and I hold out hope, is that the arrival of code competent AI will mean that we clean up our legacy code of the past while not introducing new problems for the future that then needs to be cleaned up.
voice-verified
If I were a betting man,
voice-verified
That's where I would put my money.
voice-verified
I believe it's reasonable to predict that AI is eventually, ultimately, going to eliminate software bugs.
voice-verified
And I know that may seem crazy, but everyone has just gotten so used to them.
voice-verified
But I don't see any reason why it could not.
voice-verified
The question, which seems to be on everyone's mind at the moment, is will anyone still be left to see, well, left alive to see that happen?
voice-verified
Right.
