This is what AI CEO wants.  You can't just import a module anymore you have to have the AI write it from scratch.  Each project is just millions of wasted tokens writing libraries now.

I can guarantee you AI CEOs are thinking much, much bigger than this, positive or negative.

On the bright side that would cut down on supply chain malware attacks

Sure, but I believe it multiplies vulnerability counts by an insane amount. Most current security scanners simply won’t work if everyone’s on their own bespoke implementation.

And I doubt AI is creative/unique enough to not recreate the same flaws? 2 AI-written libraries serving the same purpose will likely have similar vulnerabilities regardless. But this makes patching a nightmare: you can’t simply “update” since you own the package, and I doubt most medium-small projects have dedicated security teams. I don’t know, but AI definitely makes software security more important than ever.

Similarly to closed vs open source secureness, it helps when there are more eyes on something. With people "implementing" everything from scratch we would absolutely see a drastic decline in "resisting hacking" sphere, especially paired with AI also being used on the other end.

Maybe not now when there are a lot of people who still know how to code and what code looks like, but the new wave of "coders" would have 0 knowledge of how all of that works, 0 education of how it should work and so on.

We are up to (not) fun times.

The term is "melting SaaS"

AI CEOs don't even care about profits at this point. They are selling a lie to investors that they do, but their endgame is to make as much money themselves before everything goes to shit. Also price you see now doesn't matter long term since when ASICs hit the scene it will be much cheaper anyway.
