I get amused that people don't realize that genAI is an existential threat to the internet and everything that has been built on it.

1) One can no longer trust things out on the web. 2) One no longer needs things out on the web.

For 1), I hope the defense mechanism kicks in time to bake security into our computing culture and pervades throughout the stack.

I assume you mean software, because we haven't been trusting other things on the web already for decades.

As for software, everybody interested knew about inherent insecurity of supply chain of modern software but the solutions proposed were too expensive. We need an order of magnitude more money lost for organizations to start switching from today's security theater to a model with security built in.
