Imagine if AI starts to pick up those malicious code as valid, and when you ask it to help you set up a server or something it gives you the malicious code.

There was an article a week ago about how hundreds of compromised know exploits were found in GitHub.

Keep grinding your ITs hours down and outsource and contract and eventually you have 21 year olds responsible for global security with no time or resources and then hey, you're Boeing!
