You mistake "thinking like you": for "getting a clue". Basic mistake of a true believer. No, AI is not "much better" at finding vulnerabilities. If finds different vulnerabilities than humans do. This is a multi-dimensional thing and that is apparently an idea too complex for you.

But here is where your complete lack of insight becomes obvious: Writing exploit code from patches is not even about finding vulnerabilities. In that scenario it is clear there is a vulnerability and it clear where exactly it is. All that is left to do is searching for attack code that matches. This is a very easy task. It just takes looking at a lot of things and that is what makes humans slow at it. But insight is not required.

I see you have no clue how that actually works. No, a Nuke cannot "idle". "Idling" in a thermal power generator refers to keeping steam pressure up, decoupling generators and removing heat input. Gas and coal can do that. All Nuclear can do to reduce power output is an emergency shutdown, possibly damaging the reactor and likely requiring months after to come up again. Hence a Nuke has no choice but finding something that uses its power and that causes negative electricity prices. All other forms of power generation can simply stop producing power and may have to pay for somebody taking their power for a few minutes at best.

Nukes are the only real reason for negative electricity prices on grid-level. Of course the nuclear fans are too clueless to understand that. Your "explanation" is totally bogus.

I never made that transition. But keep flattering your ego. Not conductive to seeing actual reality, though. And as a secondary remark, attack code can be completely crappy, insecure and unreliable and still do its job, quite unlike production code. And that is the reason why LLMs can write it fast. Which is something I have been saying for a long time, you are just incapable of reading or remembering.

Incidentally, the software engineer is far from dead. It is just that many people that think they are one do not actually qualify. Regulation, liability and ever raising costs from insecure crap will make that very clear. What we will get is both massive unemployment among "coders" and very high paying actual software engineering jobs. And it is quite possible that LLMs will not play much of a role in their work.

We will get liability, like all established engineering disciplines have. There is no other way and, for example, the EU is hard at work with the CRA (which is just a first step). And, guess what, engineering liability is _personal_. As in the person that made the bad decision while being non-qualified, grossly negligent or a greedy asshole becomes personally liable, up to, and including going to prison. And then things will look a bit different.
