My comment on Feeling sad about AI — Hacker News. I'm not sure how useful it is to say this, but I think a lot of people (myself included, a few years ago now) have been through this moment of existential crisis and come out the other side.

Once you come to terms with the idea that translating an exact specification into decent code isn't a unique skill any more, you can start looking at the larger set of problems that you face as a…

Many security bugs are race conditions, where multi-threaded execution has to occur with the right interleaving for a negative effect to appear. This creates challenges for several use cases: Confirming bug candidates that have been discovered manually or through static analysis.

Automatic bug discovery, such as fuzzing: It is hard for a fuzzer to exercise all interesting interleavings of concurrent operations, or reach code paths t…
