    Everytime this happens I only hear either

    • “We don’t know security so we will hide our shitty code” Or
    • “We want to make more money but here is an excuse”

    They don’t seem to realize that higher level languages help us understand the code. Language models will be similarly capable of reading the binaries they ship. So what they doing is hiding code from users, not machines.

    To clarify, I don’t mean right now. They haven’t been sufficiently trained on machine code and that lacks some semantic help. But the future they fear will have transformers just as capable with lower level code.

    The silver lining of “AI” is that it’s a convenient excuse to be anti-user. It’s okay as long as you are “fighting the AI”

    I expect to be chugging verification cans in 2027
