The title is pretty self explanatory, but will opensource software become less and less safe compared to “big company software”, as big companies gain access to more and more advanced AI to test for their vulnerabilities? Or even malicious actors gaining access to more advanced AI, able to break into opensource software made by a small team easier? Should a privacy oriented person then stay away from such software?
And, yes … I’m tired of AI, AI, and more AI.
No because vulnerabilities being discovered means more security, not less.
Yeah. It’s exhausting and scary now. I get it but it should get better eventually
The rate of discovery is going to drop at some point, there will just come a point where security has been improved drastically and there isn’t much more to find. Its impossible for the current situation to continue, this year is just the year of drastic security improvements.
Yeah i think a load of people get that backwards. Because of AI more things get found. And it isn’t because of AI more issues are added (Maibe but that’s a other discussion entirely.)
It might even be that open source becomes mutch more secure then closed source software. Because mutch more people can poke at it with AI. Even if we like it or not.
