You're conflating your emotions with facts, in a field you very likely know very little about.
Always anonymous, always cowards.
This is exactly what companies like PwC come in and do. The AI just did it faster.
LLMs have already reduced the time from bug report to usable exploit below the time that it takes for patches to be released.
Bullshit. if they are that fucking good then they should also be able to patch it just as fast. Its a zero sum game. Fuck off with your bullshit too.

Leaded gasoline is estimated to have killed over 100,000,000 people, reduced the collective IQ of the entire planet and permanently polluted most waterways over the course of 50-60 years, all based on lies by General Motors and some others.
The demonization of cholesterol has lead to the sickest generation in human history with the highest rates of diabetes ever recorded and a massive increase of heart disease, cancer, stroke, despite claiming to reverse these conditions. We're then told its genetic to cover the lie, as if our genes somehow changed so significantly over the last 40 years that the rates of these diseases increased orders of magnitude. We now have the lowest levels of cholesterol in human history and the highest rates of disease, yet they continue to lie.
There are analogs to this. This is not new to humanity. It's just the tip of the iceberg.
Insane Clown Posse, is that you?
Once they realized you'd pay the hire price, if the fees are gone, the businesses are just going to go 'yummy more money for me'.
This is dumb shit. Many stores around me explicitly charge you the difference if you pay by credit card to cover the service fee.
I have never had my debit card compromised. Ever. The fact that it's a direct line is what makes it not usable to buy things online, etc (generally). But it's very nice to use in person - I like that when I spend money, I'm actually spending it and not creating debt. (Don't get me wrong, I always pay off my credit card bills every month, which are not trivial sums
Credit cards, on the other hand - we all pay for the insurance. It's not really the banks problem, its a problem that you have protection for because you pay for it.
"Just give me 1% in cash"
That's still money that comes from somewhere. Like
"An opt-out setting that quietly ships settings data off-device is exactly the sort of thing that adds to administrators' workloads rather than lightening them."
Fine, but there's *tons* of them. This is a drip in an ocean. The opposite, settings you need to turn on are also fucking huge depending on the corperate environment it's used in. I mean, fiddling over one setting on a product with a user base as huge and diverse as Windows is nitpicking imo.
Places that have to deal with this are setup to be proactive about the larger problem set.
