Code paid for with public money should be open to the public.
AI being used as a buzzword against open source is so annoying. The attackers who want to break into your software have the same models as the developers writing it.
If you’re genuinely concerned that your code is going to have a bunch of exploits that AI can find faster than previous researchers, then run the models to audit things yourself.
The code was already open, the bugs are visible already. You’re not solving any problems.
But it looks like you’re solving problems to shareholders and politicians, which is generally the only thing that matters to those making these decisions.
Something must be done!
This is something, therefore it must be done.

This is why I think executives should get about 26 weeks of leave every year, perhaps even more.
Its more they are about to deploy a bunch of AI written code and they don’t want anyone to know.
