name: "No way to prevent this" say users of only language where this regularly happens"
summary: |
> In the hours following the release of CVE-2024-1086 for the project The Linux kernel, site reliability workers and systems administrators scrambled to desperately rebuild and patch all their systems to fix a vulnerability that allows an attacker with unprivileged command execution to gain read/write access to page tables. This is due to the affected components being written in C, the only programming language where these vulnerabilities regularly happen. "This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there's nothing anyone can do to stop them," said programmer King Bud Hodkiewicz, echoing statements expressed by hundreds of thousands of programmers who use the only language where 90% of the world's memory safety vulnerabilities have occurred in the last 50 years, and whose projects are 20 times more likely to have security vulnerabilities.

> The magical claim of machine learning is that if you give the computer data, the computer will work out the relations in the data all by itself. Amazing!
> In practice, everything in machine learning is incredibly hand-tweaked. Before AI can find patterns in data, all that data has to be tagged, and output that might embarrass the company needs to be filtered.

> Commercial AI runs on underpaid workers in English-speaking countries in Africa creating new training data and better responses to queries. It’s a painstaking and laborious process that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough.
> AI doesn’t remove human effort. It just makes it much more alienated.
