Honestly not everyone will agree, but personally I can’t see any flaw in using AI to read through your code and point out security flaws. It’s going to happen regardless of whether you initiate it. It’s not like us sys admins are going “well I’m not going to patch the dirtyfrag vulnerability because it was discovered with AI”. I’d say knowing if AI can find a vulnerability in your code, is just a requirement right now.

I don’t necessarily agree with the person you replied to, but the existence of Five Eyes doesn’t exactly help your position…

For about a year as a hobby I’ve been writing an app that scratches several itches that I’ve had with the fediverse (multiple accounts at once, supporting both microblog- and threaded-style content, synthetic/hybrid feeds, etc.) and for the past month or so have been using it exclusively on the desktop and about 50% of the time on mobile (Voyager is my main mobile client and source of inspiration here). I’d like to open source the whole thing. But the code is mine, therefore buggy and bad. Normally I’d not worry too much about that, but in the age of LLM attacks I don’t want to contribute more security vulnerabilities to the world. Should I use an LLM security tool to analyze my code and point out security issues so I can patch them before releasing the code? If so that would more or less be the only AI contribution. I’m a practical-minded person and use AI tools at work so it doesn’t bother me, but I know lots of people here have strong (and often helpful) opinions on the matter.

@TrueNorthSpice oh I hear that. you’re not wrong.

@MoritzGlantz Some places already do this. Having a universal library of accessible design systems and models would be nice, but some places do this in house with design systems and patterns already put together in alibrary to be used when a new site or app is made. It is helpful and allows things to be accessible from the onset... if they get used as theyshould.

And your solution is to let republicans make everything worse.

You think that is better?

So you’re not using the legal definition of wars, and you’re not using the coloquial definition of wars. You’re using an idiosyncratic definition of war that proves your point. Well done. Someone should capture that technique. It’s gold. Defining terms to match your objectives. Why didn’t I think of that?

Love this!

I’m just stating why they were given a historical pass.

Are you in there? We don’t really need proof to have reasonable suspicions that a proud Nazi who is friends with pedophiles is also a pedophile. In fact even if it were somehow proven that he’s not, there’s still mountains of facts about his general evilness. So what is your point exactly?

@mxchara Yes, I know Scott, he's been a voluntary advisor for Mastodon since sometime in 2024.

I still have no idea what flying car the Nazi made and I don’t care. I see it posted about every five minutes though.
